Damage hooks for summons

[Razakai]

Code: http://pastebin.com/twXVw79E

So, one of my talents in my addon does 2 things - allows your blight damage to inflict random debuffs, and also allows your carrion worm summons to do the same with any of their attacks. The player part works fine (the 'pestilent blight' effect in hooks) but the summon part does not, despite being virtually identical. Even if I replace the call to the Worm Blight effect with something simple like inflicting Blind, it still fails, so I presume the error lies with the hooks. I've checked and the worms do get the Worm Blight talent assigned at birth, so I'm not sure what's going wrong. Any ideas?

In order to test it, I forced it by changing the call to whether the worm knew Rotting Disease instead (an existing talent), which 'fixed' it. So the problem is where it checks if the worm knows Worm Blight. However, I also got this error. Not sure where I should define 't' as it works fine for the above talent.

Code: Select all

NPCs don't have all talent short names (e.g. target.T_WHATEVZ) defined.

I've had to do things like:

Code: Select all

local Talents = require "engine.interface.ActorTalents"
local t = actor:getTalentFromId(Talents.T_WHATEVZ)
...

Or you can just do 'T_TALENT_NAME' instead of self.T_TALENT_NAME.

Huh, that's interesting to know for the future. Got it working now, thanks.
