• Delay, AttackDelay, character.delay_mod

        Added : WeaponTemplate Prop Delay [ms]
        Added : NPCDesc Prop AttackDelay [ms]
        Added : character.delay_mod [+-ms] for WeaponDelay
                If (Delay!=0) use Delay(+delay_mod) to calculate next weapon swing.

Could someone please elaborate on this?
How is it related to the following formula?
interattack delay := (15000 seconds) / ((dexterity+100) * weaponspeed)
Wasn't weapon speed expressed with the Speed prop? Is Delay replacing Speed or is it something different?[/code]

If you use Delay in a weapon's itemdesc entry Weapon speed will use that instead (Delay by Millisecond) of the dex math.

Delay_Mod on a character, is a MilliSecond delay modifier for the Delay setting only. Will not affect weapons that use Speed entries.

Ok, so, let me see if I got it right...

I have to put in the weapon itemdesc entry either Delay or Speed

1) If I put Speed

interattack delay := (15000 / ((dexterity+100) * Speed)) seconds

2) If I put Delay

interattack delay := (Delay + CInt(character.delay_mod)) milliseconds

Right?

Can these props be used (and modified) in the scripts or they must be defined only in the cfg?
like character.delay_mod := etc

Delay is for the weapon's cfg entry

character.delay_mod := ms time is for scripts

yes... not sure if we should modify this... if u want to modify it, add a cprop to weapon with an additional modifier, u handle in equip/unequip-script to modify the character.delay_mod. in this case u got better weapons u can give from one hand to another

this way to handle weapon speed was requested by some scripter and they got exactly what they wanted...

but maybe... should think about...
