[Weapon] Hit or block?

[trollebror]

Is it possible to check if the attack is blocked or not inside a weapon-script? Check the code below for a more illustrative explanation.

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKSHIELD, 1)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 0, 0, 1.0, 0)

function onUseWeapon(cid, var)
	local ret = doCombat(cid, combat, var)

	if([COLOR="#FF0000"]ret == BLOCK[/COLOR]) then
		[B]doThis()[/B]
	else
		[B]doThat()[/B]
	end
end

Hi trollebror,
Sorry but onUseWeapon runs before the weapon damage is done so the player has not blocked yet.
Also onStatsChange (Creaturescript) is also run before Defense rolls are calculated (which determines if you block or not).

Personally I don't know of any way to do this in LUA. You could always change the way Armor and Defense work on your server, and use onStatsChange to calculate all damage, but that is a lot of work.
