Hey everyone. I've been a "silent observer" on the fringes of your community for a while now, and a passive modder with the construction set. I really only make mods for my own entertainment to muck around with ideas / have fun. Anyway, I was working on a little project and came to a little bit of a roadblock and thought I would ask you people for some help =D

The idea I'm trying to implement is to expand on the player's ability to move stuff around with the "z" key. The idea I had was to give the player some sort of small axe or whatever that they can swing around to deal damage with by holding the "z" key (possibly while attacking with a standard weapon?). Well, lets face it. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to scripting.

Scriptname CollisionDamageScriptfloat fTrapDamagefloat fTrapPushBackfloat fTrapMinVelocityshort bTrapContinuousShort Triggeredbegin GameMode	if triggered == 0		set fTrapDamage to 10		set fTrapPushBack to 128		set fTrapMinVelocity to 10		set bTrapContinuous to 0		set triggered to 1	elseif triggered == 1		Trapupdate	endifEndBegin OnReset	Set Triggered to 0end

Thats the code I've got right now to go on the aforementioned axe (I cannibalized it mostly from the script on some falling rock trap). I've tested it with various numbers for the Damage / PushBack / MinVelocity but for some reason its not working, and I'm not skilled enough with scripting to know why. Again, all I'm really looking for here is something that causes the scripted object to deal damage when it runs into something. Any help would be appreciated.

(On a side note, is there a way to check for a magic effect active on the character? And a way to get the magic effect off the player without removing it from their abilities list?)

About time this thing got a bump.

=/ Can nobody help me?
