  Description

  Disarm Em All adds a disarm mechanic to melee combat: charged attacks have a chance to knock the weapon out of your opponent's hand or yours. And if a weapon hits the ground, someone nearby might just pick it up. Watch attached videos to see the implementation in-game.

  1. Disarm Mechanic

  • []Charged melee attacks have a chance to disarm the target, sending their weapon to the ground.[/]

    []Attribute-Based Chance: The disarm chance is calculated from the attacker's Strength and the defender's Agility. Higher Strength increases the chance; higher Agility resists it. If the attacker is unarmed, their HTH (hand-to-hand) skill is used instead against the defender's. For Creatures, their Combat value is used.[/]

    []Charge Required: Only sufficiently charged attacks (configurable threshold) can trigger a disarm.[/]

    []Weight Check: By default, a significantly lighter weapon cannot disarm a heavier one.[/]

    []Shield Protection: A target holding a shield in their off-hand cannot be disarmed (configurable; does not apply to the player).[/]

    []NPCs can disarm you too: If NPC disarm is enabled, enemies can knock your weapon out of your hands as well.[/]

    2. NPCs Pick Up Dropped Weapons

    When the player's weapon is knocked to the ground, nearby NPCs may move to claim it.

    • []Unarmed NPCs: Will attempt to pick up the weapon based on a configurable chance. If they fail the roll, they won't try again for that weapon.[/]

      []Armed NPCs: Will only pick up the dropped weapon if it deals significantly more damage than their current weapon (configurable damage threshold) and their skill with it is not much worse than their skill with their current weapon (configurable skill threshold).[/]

      []Pickup Delay: NPCs wait a configurable amount of time before picking up the weapon, giving you a window to reclaim it.[/]

      []Pickup Sound: NPCs play the appropriate weapon pickup sound when they grab the weapon.[/]
