I've found a strange bug in x3_inc_horse.nss in function HorseGetIsDisabled(object oCreature=OBJECT_SELF) in GetEffectType(eEffect)==EFFECT_TYPE_INVALIDEFFECT. It defines effect from EffectModifyAttacks(int nAttacks) as invalid effect, and does not mounted on horse with effect of additional attacks per round. This bug has nothing to do with Community Patch, but maybe you could somehow add an ID for such effects as EffectModifyAttacks, example EFFECT_TYPE_MODIFYATTACKS, EFFECT_TYPE_KNOCKDOWN etc?

Just noticed a bug, your scripts 70_s2_knockdown.nss and 70_s2_disarm.nss not executed when the use of these special attacks.

And could you add scripts to Stunning fist, Called shot and Sap attacks?

here it is: DOWNLOAD

new nwncx_patch version that brings better disarm and knockdown softcoded scripts, this time you can change the skill check too

updated scripts are inside archive

Notes:
1) still not possible to change the AB modifiers, its easy to statically but doesn't fit the idea of doing this dynamically
2) the knockdown effect differs from vanilla a bit - I simply used EffectKnockdown where vanilla uses EffectSetState or something like that - this means that knockdown from softcoded script is now detectable by GetEffectType but also it might perform a little differently than expected
3) knockdown effect is set for 6.0 seconds, nwn wiki says the vanilla knockdown effect duration is 1 round - current flurry which I don't know how to implement
4) both knockdown and disarm applications are done in different time than in vanilla - the softcoded script runs OnAttack where the skill check is calculated but in vanilla the effect applications are delayed and done at the time OnDamaged - I added delays to make it as much close to vanilla but its not the same
5) in case you would be bothered with changes 2-4 you can force plugin to perform vanilla effect application, details in scripts


Tommorrow I will try to add stunning fist and called shot.

Stunning fist and Sap done as well with also Quivering Palm remake that should now offer same features as other special attacks

I also made interesting discovery. I found a way how to force game to show custom special attack floating text such as
*Crippling Strike hit*

I still don't know how to add a new feat that, when used would work as special attack but even this could have interesting usage for NPCs who can use one of the vanilla mode such as stunning fist where softcoded script would perform different effect and forced plugin to write something else instead of defaul *Stunning Fist* over npc's head.

EDIT: yes I think I will be able to add possibility of custom special attacks

Bug: With two or more of disarms at flurry attacks, copied two or more times of disarmed weapon from his right hand, due to the fact that copy weapon and destroy weapon is different in time (even with the difference in 0.0 seconds will bug):

[Valbor]

You can add function for perform attacks of opportunity with ranged weapons?

Is it possible the Defensive Roll function add in softcoded? And there save DC is reset if the damage is more than 127, i would like it as something to fix.

Quick status update:

So I got all special attacks except called shot softcoded. Smite good/evil, Stunning Fist, Quivering Palm, Knockdown, Disarm, Sap.
On top of that it will be possible to modify dealt damage (since thats what Smite does) using functions NWNXPatch_Get/SetTotalDamageDealtByType

unfortunately currently its no longer possible to force vanilla effect behavior and we have to suffice with the scripted replacement in softcoded scripts.

I also managed to make possible custom special attacks using NWNXPatch_ActionUseSpecialAttack function which will then trigger script '70_s2_specattk' where you will be able to code pretty much anything.

Currently, I am thinking about the attack roll modification for many special attacks and how to allow user to modify it.
One idea is to trigger the softcoded script again (so it will fire twice) and code it as a two-event script "pre-attack roll/post-attack roll". This would then allow to softcode the attack roll modifications however at the cost of making it maybe unneccessary complicated.

Second option would be to trigger one script for all special attacks which will calculate it, say 70_s2_attkroll or something like that.

And third option is to provide a source code for plugin where the attack roll bonuses will be softcoded inside plugin, so experienced builders will be able to modify it and recompile plugin to get their changes apply.

EDIT: or just redo it completely and use one script for all special attacks and all events. So everything would be coded in 70_s2_specattk.

Does this modify the attack when used? When swung? Or when hit?
