Modder's advice needed

Anton

So I have this kit in mind, Ilmater-ish cleric.
I need him to have specific effect - every time this character inflict the damage to anyone , same amount of damage instantly inflicted to this cleric.
Whats the easiest way to implement this? Perhaps I may use some existing item's effect with minor modification?
Thanks for your help!

Spell effect? Have a spell that does say, ten points damage to target in one heading and on the second heading do ten points damage to self.

I know there are some items in the game that do damage to self when they hit their target. There's a vampire sword I believe that does this and a couple of others.

Not a spell but permanent effect on a character. Each time this Ilmater-ish cleric damage other creature/people/monster in any way (by spell, weapon, or even fist) he is inflicted by the same amount of damage. preferably even same type of damage.

I don't know of anything other than the a fore mentioned vampire sword. But you might be able to make a spell like a permanent curse for the said cleric if they take the a fore mentioned kit.

Just a thought.

Looks like I may take similar effect from
Spear +3, Backbiter (sper03):
"Dam. againts wielder for every successful hit"

@anton i don't know if you can cause the exact same amount of damage, but if you use the Set Melee Effect opcode (#248) you could then have that link in the resource field to an eff file which causes damage (use opcode HP:Damage #12) and have the target of that damage set to self. That should work pretty well for what you want.

I really don't think it's possible to match the damage and damage type on the fly, although I may be wrong.

Anton

@Requiem Thanks! I will definitely try it.

I do recommend that you build in an automatic script for the character/class that stops him from Auto-attacking, if you plan to implement this. Otherwise it might quickly become frustrating for people who don't know where the script button is/how it works and fiddling with extra options just to make your class non-suicidal is always a downer.

Thanks!
