Double up

I was wondering if it's currently possible or would be possible in the future to have code that doubles up armor and weapons.

For example, knuckle spiked gauntlets that are armor but also give the wearer a piercing attack as well. Another instance would be a dagger shield, obviously doubles up as a piercing attack and a shield.

I don't think you'd need to classify something as both weapon and armour. Items such as spiked gauntlets or shields could maintain their ITEM_TYPE_ARMOR, and have a random prog.

Code: Select all

>rand_prog 20ish~
if position($n) == 8
  if objisworn($o) == $n
    mpechoat $n You backhand your opponent with one spiked gauntlet.
    mpechoaround $n $N backhands $F with one spiked gauntlet.
    mpmadd $f currhp -10ish
  endif
endif

You could add in additional checks against $f's ($f being whoever $n is fighting) AC, resistances... any of that cool stuff.

Also, a disclaimer - I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm misusing the objisworn check. Maybe someone could check this to see if it would even work? I'm just curious.
