Patch to support backstab positioning

[fallen]

I created this patch that adds the check "fromBehind" to attackSkillSlot, allowing rogues to more effectively backstab monsters.

It's not 100% perfect (even on the client, I cant manage to land backstabs all the time ), but works all right for me.

Here is the example config:

Code: Select all

attackSkillSlot Back Step {
        lvl 10             
        dist 2.5
        fromBehind 1
        aggressives <= 2
        sp > 30%        
        maxAttempts 3
        timeout 0
        disabled 0
        target_timeout 0
        inLockOnly 1    
        monsters Porcellio, Mummy, Skel Archer, Skel Soldier,Golem, Verit, Dragon Fly, Hunter Fly, Hill Wind, Stem Worm
}

And here is the patch (against latest SVN):

Hope it makes it's way into the mainstream codebase

[h4rry84]

it could be more optimized *_*

[sli]

Wow, yeah, a shitload.

[kali]

Beware of premature optimization

Let's give this a few days, then have it committed.

[Contrast]

Are you still working on it? Cause I'd love to use BackStab to level

Do i simply have to paste this in Attack.pm?

[idiomm]

im really a noob an if its okay could you start the code from the Hiding Skill to Back Stab?? Please... or could you explain further..

[M4rk1nhu]

please, help me, qhere i put this code?

If for some reason the target is standing right up against a wall, just stand inside of them, it works fine.
