Extend beams caused by Arcane Combat
Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 5:42 am
Grey and I were talking about Arcane Blades and he suggested having the beam spells (Flame at lvl 5, Lightning at all levels) extend past the first target until they met a friendly target (don't want to kill those escorts!) or a wall. I have updated the arcane combat section in Combat.lua below and tested it. What do you think?
EDIT: I have been playing with this and it is a lot of fun to see a flame beam fly across the map.
