Fix for Ki Punch

[sekira]

Here is the fix for Ki Punch not working against monsters standing in walls (Ghosts).

In the edit folder, modify the classes.txt file. This line:

A:Ki Punch:1:1:46:1

Should be on line 261 or close to it. Change the 3rd parameter to 0, so the line reads

A:Ki Punch:1:0:46:1

Then, in the script folder, the file abilities.lua, copy and paste this code in the use_ability() function, around line 447 is a good place, just choose a place that is after the end for the heal if statement, and before the

-- Chain Shots

line. Here is the code.

  -- Ki Punch
  if (powernum == 46) then

	local dir
	local dir_x
	local dir_y
	local dam

	if (not(unarmed())) then 

                msg_print("You must be unarmed!")
                return
        end

	-- We need to choose a direction to attack. If used as combat feat,
	-- this won't be asked.
	-- Get the direction.
	dir = lua_get_rep_dir()

	-- Determine the coordinates where we will look for a monster.
	if (dir == 1) then
		dir_x = px - 1
		dir_y = py + 1
	end
	if (dir == 2) then
		dir_x = px
		dir_y = py + 1
	end
	if (dir == 3) then
		dir_x = px + 1
		dir_y = py + 1
	end
	if (dir == 4) then
		dir_x = px - 1
		dir_y = py
	end
	if (dir == 5) then
		dir_x = px
		dir_y = py
	end
	if (dir == 6) then
		dir_x = px + 1
		dir_y = py
	end
	if (dir == 7) then
		dir_x = px - 1
		dir_y = py - 1
	end
	if (dir == 8) then
		dir_x = px
		dir_y = py - 1
	end
	if (dir == 9) then
		dir_x = px + 1
		dir_y = py - 1
	end

	dam = monk_damages()
        dam = dam + ((dam * ((p_ptr.abilities[(CLASS_MONK * 10) + 6]) * 10)) / 100)

	-- The "nevermiss" global variable is set to true. This way, the attack
	-- will never miss. Once the attack is executed, the variable is set to
	-- false again.
	nevermiss = TRUE
	-- melee_attack = TRUE
	-- no_magic_return = TRUE
    	fire_ball_specific_grid(dam, dir_x, dir_y, 0, GF_MISSILE)
	-- no_magic_return = FALSE
	-- melee_attack = FALSE
	nevermiss = FALSE

    	energy_use = 100;
  end

I think the accurate strike ability should be similarly modified, though not as important considering it always does physical... It really should be changed to do the base damage type of the weapon used, and then it will mean something to change the code to make use of fire_ball_specific_grid() instead of chain_attack()
