%damageMessages()

Aliases%damageMessages( )
Parametersmobile @attacker, mobile @victim, integer @damage, string @attackSingular, string @attackPlural

    You can use this function to output internal style damage messages based
    on your own custom damage types and damage amount. These damage messages
    will use the usual damage amount names (massacre, obliterate, etc). The
    damage amount name will depend on the value of @damage. This can usually
    be retrieved from the return value of %damage() to get an accurate amount
    of damage inflicted. The type of attack should be specified via
    @attackSingular, and @attackPlural. For instance you might use 'slash' and
    'slashes' respectively. Note that this function is very similar to
    %damageGetPhrases().

    Example:

        @damageFlags->1 = slash
        @damageFlags->2 = skipMessages

        @amount = %damage( @attacker, @victim, 10 + 1d10, @damageFlags )
        %damageMessages( @attacker, @victim, @amount, "slash", "slashes" )
