Breath Weapons

If I wanted to have creatures with specific breath weapons (a la the DnD Dragon sort) what would be the easiest way to do it? Would it be easier to script each breath weapon seperately and treat them like spells? Or is there a way to do it in the actual NPC's .cs file?

You could do it either way.

if u do it as a spell it means a new ai 4 each monster if u pput it directly into the scripts of the monster it means u dont need to make an ai for each and u can tweak it slitly

is there a way to put an individual spell into an NPC? That way I could script the spell and then just add the code snippet to the NPC?

You have to override the OnThink() method. Check if the npc's target is null and if not, call the Target.Invoke( .. ) method, and if it is, cast the firebreathe spell.

Of course there is.

what might the snippet look like? or is there an NPC already made that works like this so i can see and understand what needs to be done.

You would declare a new method, send a Mobile argument.

This will allow you to do most everything you want, send an effect, ect.

ok, i think i've figured it out, but where can i find the FixedParticles information for the visual effect?

Mobile class

on, i mean where do i find the numbers for each particle effect?

Trial and Error.
