So after poking around with the DROD source code for a while, I produced results:



More things:



Opine below, I guess?

Super Rad. What need to be done for this to make it into the next official update after 5.1? Also, hyperme, you are totally awesome for all the trouble you've gone through to figure out DROD code and make this thing script.

Absolutely wonderful to see it can work, which brings some hope of it getting into an official release sometime down the line.

Hell yeah, this is something that I know a number of people have wanted for a while. Top stuff!

I made a comment in the video saying how this feature was scriptable in-game. Big words don't mean anything until they're backed up, so I've attached my proof here.

As long as you're not using oremites, disarm tokens, or custom armed monsters, this script should emulate the Wait for Weapon command fairly well. Just have someone pass their weapon over the bridge tile to trigger the code. Have fun!

My method is way clunkier than one quick script command, so I'd rather hyperme's work become official than have anyone need to rely on my work for their projects. Scripting should always make things easier.

Edge case checks:

What if two or more weapons are overlapping in the same tile?

What happens if a weapon is on a tile briefly during a turn, and then moved away (say, you moved your sword to a tile and then a mimic disarms you/pushes you away)? Will it behave consistently according to movement order?

Oremite/Disarm tokens/Slayer hooks/other armed characters?

Due to how weapons are checked for, this works as expected. All weapons on the tile can be 'seen'.

What happens if a weapon is on a tile briefly during a turn, and then moved away (say, you moved your sword to a tile and then a mimic disarms you/pushes you away)? Will it behave consistently according to movement order?

If you do weird stuff like this, it will depend upon the script's processing sequence number.

Oremite/Disarm tokens/Slayer hooks/other armed characters?

Slayer hooks are just swords. Other armed characters are monsters and thus covered. Disarmed characters don't have weapons, and these none-weapons are not detected.

More edgy checks:

What if other stuff are on the tile during the check as well? For example:

Monster/entities: player sword on an killable entity due to disarm shenanigans; serpents and gentrii bodies; etc...

Room items: Everything from the first 3 tabs: Seeding beacons, tarstuff, bomb/keg, etc...

Other weird stuff: Golem/construct piles

Literally none of this will have an effect, since the pre-existing functions I used to create the script command don't care about any of that.

Yea, without seeing Hyperme's code I can attest to know how he did it (because I'd do it the same) and that it works on all cases the regular code supports. If at the moment of the if executing there is a weapon at the tile, it will detect it.

The previous thing was implemented on shakey foundations, so I remake it on better foundations.

Behold!

Edit: I'm not going to triple post, even for a new video.

Simply amazing. I'm pretty sure the sum total of all these behaviors could be used to eliminate most, maybe all of the bizarre, buggy behavior blocks currently have.

EDIT: Well, now that I think of it, the missing piece is probably "holds plates down" behavior that works for flying entities. But I have no idea how viable that would be.

Thumbs up! Great work, would love this to become available I an official update. But I guess no such thing is to be expected soon?

I second that!

Skell would need to be the one managing the publishing of new builds.
