Iv played since alpha, insta hit and preUO:R (era of tanks) was my life.
Insta hit definition in all its entirety and variations.
ill start with what everyone was saying.
The combo they are refering to is this.
You cast Explosion, target a player/monster, cast ebolt but do not click for target, you then hit your arm/disarm macro and arm a weapon, in this case we'll say a halberd, and then you run by them and it will hit the person as soon as you are within range, then you can click your target for the bolt to go off.
Exception, if you armed a bow/xbow it would shoot them the instant you armed, thus this is all defined as insta-hit
Beta35
---------
Insta hit that would be appropiate to true pre uo:r is that, when you equip first time or on fresh timer and you run by them or get within range, it auto hits, then AFTER that it will hit on set intervals, regardless of dex or stam it will follow same rules as normal. even if you deequip and reequip it wont do it again.
Now, lets say you have 25 dex and with a halberd you normally swing ever 4 seconds (for explanation purpose only, i am unsure of exact time)
with 25 dex you swing once ever 4 seconds.
with insta hit, you attack someone with spell or war cursor (and magic arrow follows same rules, circle 1-8, atleast it was this way on osi and was always this way on osi - ANY aggresive act, anything to put you into combat mode) and you approach them you will hit automatically, then follow that 4 second interval, if you disarm and arm its still on 4 second interval
now say that you back off of them, regardless of whether or not you tab, if you back off for more then that 4 seconds, and you hit again, the second you are within range it will hit again.
Right now, the default beta35 scripts have no insta hit, meaning you have a halberd on, you attack someone, and move to within range, it doesnt hit, it waits that 4 seconds before it hits, which is inaccurate anyway i think (?)
I have no clue how to ask this, i found this doing a search and have posted my own thread with other questions because I have played a pre uo r shard that roxed then moved away from it, ergo i want to bring true uo:r back (pre uo:r sorry)
icq 62267056 if ya know how to add TRUE insta-hit.
