Shields that allow you to taunt foes 1

[Massapequa]

Massapequa submitted a new resource:

Shields that allow you to taunt foes - Be the party tank

Directions: Simply replace the default version of BaseShield.cs with the modified BaseShield.cs and have fun.

Description: This tiny edit allows UO players to tank enemies like they do in other MMOs.
Players can now double click any shield and target an enemy they wish to taunt. If the taunt is successful, the enemy will attack the player wielding the shield.

Currently, the chance of taunting an enemy is the players parry skill vs the creature's barding difficulty.
This means that...

Two years ago, I also made a script of mocking function, but I did it on anatomical skills, not on shields

You could, but I don't think it would work out too well. It would essentially just shift the player target's current combatant to the shield wielder. It might be useful in pvp to get somebody to stop attacking your buddy for a moment, but they could just swap back to their previous target. The reason I didn't do it is because there's a lot of potential for griefing.
But if you really wanted to:
You could go to line 368 in BaseShield.cs where it says:

            }
            else
                from.SendMessage("You can't taunt that!");

That ends the "if(target is BaseCreature)" statement. Then change the "else" to

 else if(target is PlayerMobile)

Then replace the "you can't taunt that" with something like:

{
    PlayerMobile pm = (PlayerMobile)target;
    if( pm.Combatant != from)
        pm.Combatant = from;
}

You'd have to add some bells and whistles to make it look good or add a form of counter play so it doesn't on every player 100% of the time. but that's the general idea of it

Hey, thanks for the comment! I'm pretty sure I was running this on the previous version of ServUO for this script.
Are you using 57.1?
If so, this should work:
go to line 266 and change the line from

if(target is BaseCreature && from.CanBeHarmful((Mobile)target, true, false, true))

to this:

if(target is BaseCreature && from.CanBeHarmful((Mobile)target, true))

It looks like CanBeHarmful uses 2 args instead of 4.

Hope this helps!
