Ball and chain script

[Joe123]

There's a box labelled 'Damage' in the item editor...

Or it could act more like the ball and chain item from TP. You know, make so as the button is held down, the ball spins around you and when it is released, the ball goes the way link is facing. Of course, that is going to be rather difficult and would require a global script and stuff.

Hmm? *puts on eyeglasses* Ho ho! There it is!

Then, the only problem is stunning enemies.

You could try just increasing the power.
That may stop it from stunning things.

In ZScript, weapons you spawn with power 0 always stun enemies, and weapons with power > 0 don't.
I don't know about normal weapons though.

It would require the global script.
It wouldn't, however, be very difficult.

I don't see a script anywhere in that thread. o_ô


Also, I tested the Hookshot Mace theory—damage greater than zero still results in stunning enemies.

Ah, sorry.

Looks like you'll just have to have it stun them.
Or get one scripted.

Having a hammer whack into your head knock you out doesn't seem that unreasonable, surely?

[Shazza Dani]

True. I can live with the fact that it stuns enemies.
