Force attack via script, problem with RequestAttack packet

[timginter]

Hi.

I'm trying to write a script in which one of the effects is a player going "berserk". I'm trying to force an attack, with no avail, though. I tried tinkering with packet 0x05 (RequestAttack), desperately I even tried to turn the war-mode and try sending a DoubleClick packet - both freeze the client.

Code: Select all

var trg := Target(who);
if( !trg )
	return 0;
elseif( !trg.IsA(POLCLASS_MOBILE) )
	return 0;
elseif( trg.dead )
	return 0;
endif

var hexSerial := Hex(trg.serial);
SendSysMessage(who, "serial: " + hexSerial);

SendPacket(who, "05B700");

Just for the sake of tests I put the serial manually (mob's I was testing it on was 0xB7). I've tried SendPacket(who, "05B7"), SendPacket(who, "0500B7") and SendPacket(who, "05B700"), every version ended with the client frozen. I'm lost.

You can't do something like that through packets because you'll just confuse the client. This is also a function of the server so packets are entirely useless with this.

Is your server POL098 or newer? Have you tried who.attack_once(trg)?

Yeah, it's POL098

Have you tried who.attack_once(trg)?

Yes, nothing happened. I tried both with war mode on and off

I thought about setting war-mode, trg as "Last Target" and somehow either make the character "use" last target, force double-click, send "Last Object" or "Attack Last", I'm out of any better ideas ;)
