| Summary | 0001846: ranged weapon projectile attacks don't use specified 'strike' verb in log | ||||
| Description | crossbows have this melee attack definition [ATTACK:BLUNT:10000:4000:bash:bashes:NO_SUB:1250] crossbow bolts have this attack definition [ATTACK:EDGE:100:2000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000] When a crossbow bolt does an attack, the combat report says "the flying {bolt} strikes the dwarf" rather than "the flying {bolt} stabs the dwarf." | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1) equip a dwarf with a crossbow and bolts 2) give him something to shoot at 3) look at the combat report | ||||
| Additional Information | I'm not sure if this indicates that the attack definition of the ammo is being completely ignored, or if it's just using the wrong verb. If its just using the wrong verb... where'd it get the verb 'strike?' I haven't actually confirmed this for dwarf mode, only arena mode. I don't actually have any forts with function marksdwarves atm. Could someone check to be sure? | ||||

No, the attack definition is not being ignored (in arena mode), its just the verb not getting used. I made another kind of ammo with an attack defined [ATTACK:EDGE:1:1:blast:blasts:NO_SUB:1] and it could barely break the skin of a naked dwarf (who was shooting back with normal ammo). |
|
|
Yeah, the verb gets overridden for ranged attacks. Not sure if that qualifies as a bug or not. |
|

Sure it does, its just a very minor one. ;p Seriously though if it wasn't a bug Toady wouldn't have bothered using different verbs in the vanilla ammo raws. bolts and arrows: [ATTACK:EDGE:100:2000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000] blowdarts: [ATTACK:EDGE:10:50:stick:sticks:NO_SUB:1000] All three use 'strike:strikes' |

Seriously though if it wasn't a bug Toady wouldn't have bothered using different verbs in the vanilla ammo raws. Maybe those were just for using ammo as a melee weapon -- the verb does show up correctly in melee. |

Hmm! Not being prolific in adventure mode, that never once occurred to me, lol. |
|
|
The verbs for projectiles are not used in ranged combat, only melee. Arena testing can confirm this. |
