leech stamina and leech mana on monster

[Scottk]

I'm pretty new to scripting and the forums in general but was wondering if someone could give me some pointers on how to add leech stamina and leech mana onto a monster. any feedback greatly appreciated.

Not sure, but what most people say is, try to find a script of a monster that already has these abilities. Succubi leech life with a sort of area effect, maybe look there for clues?

This is an example of an offensive attack using in Golem.cs:

public override void OnGaveMeleeAttack( Mobile defender )
        {
            base.OnGaveMeleeAttack( defender );
 
            if ( !m_Stunning && 0.3 > Utility.RandomDouble() )
            {
                m_Stunning = true;
 
                defender.Animate( 21, 6, 1, true, false, 0 );
                this.PlaySound( 0xEE );
                defender.LocalOverheadMessage( MessageType.Regular, 0x3B2, false, "You have been stunned by a colossal blow!" );
 
                BaseWeapon weapon = this.Weapon as BaseWeapon;
                if ( weapon != null )
                    weapon.OnHit( this, defender );
 
                if ( defender.Alive )
                {
                    defender.Frozen = true;
                    Timer.DelayCall( TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 5.0 ), new TimerStateCallback( Recover_Callback ), defender );
                }
            }
        }

for stamina leach or mana leach you could tweak this code to do something like:

public override void OnGaveMeleeAttack( Mobile defender )
{
base.OnGaveMeleeAttack( defender );
if( Utility.RandomDouble < 0.03 ) // 3% chance to preform a hit-leech attack
{
switch( Utility.Randon( 2 ) ) // 50%/50% for stamina leech or mana leech
{
  case 0:
  {
  if( defender.Alive )
  {
    int manaToLeech = (int)(defender.Mana*0.333); // defender loses 1/3 of their mana
    defender.Mana -= manaToLeech;
    this.Mana += (int)( manaToLeech * 0.75 ); // monster gains back 3/4 of the leeched mana.
  }
  break;
  }
  case 1:
  {
  if( defender.Alive )
  {
    int stamToLeech = (int)(defender.Stam*0.333); // defender loses 1/3 of their stamina
    defender.Stam -= stamToLeech;
    this.Stam += (int)( stamToLeech * 0.75 ); // monster gains back 3/4 of the leeched stamina.
  }
  break;
  }
}
}
}

* sorry it looks ugly... wrote it in the little dialog box.

Anyone who tries to use the above code will get errors, use this instead:

 public override void OnGaveMeleeAttack( Mobile defender )
        {
            base.OnGaveMeleeAttack( defender );
        if( 0.06 > Utility.RandomDouble() ) // 3% chance to preform a hit-leech attack
        {
        switch( Utility.Random( 2 ) ) // 50%/50% for stamina leech or mana leech
        {
            case 0:
            {
            if( defender.Alive )
            {
            int manaToLeech = (int)(defender.Mana*0.6); // defender loses 1/2 of their mana
            defender.Mana -= manaToLeech;
            this.Mana += (int)( manaToLeech * 0.75 ); // monster gains back 3/4 of the leeched mana.
            }
            break;
            }
            case 1:
            {
            if( defender.Alive )
            {
            int stamToLeech = (int)(defender.Stam*0.7); // defender loses 9/10 of their stamina
            defender.Stam -= stamToLeech;
            this.Stam += (int)( stamToLeech * 0.75 ); // monster gains back 3/4 of the leeched stamina.
            }
            break;
            }
        }
    }
}
