How to add Melee Applies Spell

from Elemental Forums

I am having some trouble getting my special melee attacks for weapon types to properly use the "AppliesRandomModifier" tag. Does "MeleeAppliesSpell" negate the use of said tag? I did the standard thing where the spell Berserker has 10 game modifiers and 9 are empty. That should be a 10% chance to have the spell do damage, but for some reason it always does damage. 

 

Beyond this method, is there any code that can simply make the meleeappliesspell have a modifiable chance to hit?

Shrug. It works for me. Show the XML of how you apply the meleeappliesspell, and the xml for the spell you are applying.

I tried it with and without the value thing, hoping that having it would trigger a percent chance like bash.

How abouts you make proper gamemodifiers? Not empty husks, shells, illusions of what they could be?

Also, in what context is that meleeappliesspell modifier?

I put this on the axes to make them get a little extra attack now and then.

What do I need to put in the modifier to get it to count?

I know I haven't a clue what you are doing, but recall that some of the mod stuff from the main directory wouldn't register for me unless I ran it in admin mode.
