Proc:Damage (Area)

Overview

The damage procedure allows builders to have a random chance of damage to hit all players in an area at a desired interval.

Here is a list of keys that the procedure will use:

Key	Default	Description
DAMAGE_FREQUENCY	60 (seconds)	How often the proc should deal damage, in seconds. The MUD only runs procs every 10 seconds, so it should be a multiple of 10.
DAMAGE_CHANCE	100 (%)	The percentage chance of hitting any player in the area.
DAMAGE_DICE	1	The number of dice to roll.
DAMAGE_DIE_SIZE	1	The size of the die to roll.
DAMAGE_ADDITIONAL	0	A modifier to the die roll to either add or subtract damage.
DAMAGE_TYPE	UNDEFINED	The type of damage to apply. This could be a spell id or hit type id.
DAMAGE_FLAGS	0	Flags to the damage function to modify behavior. Current flags are: 1 = HIT_ETHEREAL - Required if non-spell damage should hit ethereal mobs 2 = SILENT_ATTACK - Suppress normal damage function messages 8 = BYPASS_SPECTRAL_SHIELD - Ignore spectral shield if active 16 = BYPASS_SPELL_SHIELD - Ignore spell shield if active
SAVING_THROW	None	Type of saving throw to apply to the damage. Can be "paralysis", "poison", "petrification", "breath", or "spell".
SAVE_ADJUSTMENT	0	Adjustment to the saving throw. A positive number makes it easier for the player to save against the damage and a negative number makes it harder.
DAMAGE_MOBILES	0 (False)	Whether the proc should target mobiles that are following players
ALLOW_DEATH	0 (False)	Whether the proc should kill players or leave them at 0 hps.
DAMAGE_MESSAGE_ACTOR_0	No message.	The message that is displayed to players in the area that are hit with damage. Similarly builders can configure DAMAGE_MESSAGE_ACTOR_1 to allow for multiple messages, where one is randomly selected. This can be done all the way up to whatever MAX value the builder would like.
DAMAGE_MESSAGE_ROOM_0	No message.	The message that is displayed to the room when a player in the area is hit with damage. Similarly builders can configure DAMAGE_MESSAGE_ROOM_1 to allow for multiple messages, where one is randomly selected. This can be done all the way up to whatever MAX value the builder would like.
MISS_MESSAGE_ACTOR_0	No message.	The message that is displayed to players in the room when they are missed by the damage. Similarly builders can configure MISS_MESSAGE_ACTOR_1 to allow for multiple messages, where one is randomly selected. This can be done all the way up to whatever MAX value the builder would like.
MISS_MESSAGE_ROOM_0	No message.	The message that is displayed to the room when a player in the room is missed by the damage. Similarly builders can configure MISS_MESSAGE_ROOM_1 to allow for multiple messages, where one is randomly selected. This can be done all the way up to whatever MAX value the builder would like.
