Just going through the Combat stuff
Is it possible to retrieve the exact amount of damage being done either by Dink or by an enemy sprite in a strike?
I found The Prophet's post on this, but it doesn't account for the fact that the initial strength of attack varies/is random as per the DinkC Reference
Step 1. When Dink or a monster hits the other, a number of hitpoints is randomly selected from the upper half of its strength range. In DinkC terms, you might write it like this:
Perhaps something clever can be done with sp_custom here - I still haven't got my head around this stuff, looking through magicman's persistent loot scripts... I tried to set sp_nohit() to 1 in these custom procedures so that the smashing sound of the barrel doesn't repeat all the time which I was getting in my dmod, and happens in the Persistent Loot dmod as well, but it had no effect.

int &hit_work = sp_strength(enemySprite, -1); int &hits = math_mod(&hit_work, 2); &hit_work / 2; int &add_remainder = &hit_work; &add_remainder += &hits; &hits = random(&add_remainder, &hit_work); &hits += 1;
