DSA: Display Damage?

Post by ADDF_Toxic »

Is there any DSA that will show a certain number of damage in the blue starburst? I'm talking about the damage shown to the right where the attack hand actions are. It's what's shown when you use an attack and it does damage on a monster. (Have I clarified this enough yet? :)) Thanks.

Nope

It would be good to fake a ranged attack like a psychic attack or even show the effect of missiles

You get the player damage message when you remove health from players, it might be nice to have the same option when you remove the health of monsters

OK, I expected there to be none...that's OK, I was actually making my own simulated attack, this would just improve it

Just making sure you understand me correctly, I want to show the starburst of monster damage...that quote makes me unsure if you understand correctly, so I thought I'd clarify :)

I was telling you a similar thing already happens now for player damage - before when you removed character health, the red damge didn't come up

So it is possibly somehting that could be added for when you inflict monster damage, the blue flash comes up
