Disable opponent weapon during fight

[Xardas666]

Hello. Is there a simple way to disable opponent weapon during fight when he is hit by special attack?
I have the following piece of code but it disables attacks only after a fight.

Code: Select all

#define WEAPON_SPECIAL_WG5_FREEZE
    [damage]
        id=wg5_freeze
        name= _ "freeze"
        description= _ ""
    [/damage]
#enddef

#define WG5_FREEZE_EVENTS
    [event]
        name=attacker hits
        first_time_only=no
        [filter_attack]
            special_id=wg5_freeze
        [/filter_attack]
        [filter_second]
            [not]
                [filter_wml]
                    [status]
                        unfreezeable=yes
                    [/status]
                [/filter_wml]
            [/not]
        [/filter_second]
    {VARIABLE second_unit.status.frozen yes}
    [unstore_unit]
        variable=second_unit
        find_vacant=no
        text=_ "frozen"
        red,green,blue=0,0,255
    [/unstore_unit]

    [modify_unit]
        [filter]
            id=$second_unit.id
        [/filter]
        [object]
            silent=yes
            duration=turn

I don't know the answer to your question, but I did notice that when defender hits you set unit.status.burning, which looks odd.

Just before the attack. For example, in pre attack event:

Code: Select all

    [modify_unit]
        [filter]
            id=$unit.id
        [/filter]
        [object]
            id=aww_disable_attacks
            [effect]
                apply_to=attack
                set_attacks=0
            [/effect]
        [/object]
    [/modify_unit]

After the attack, on attack end event:

Code: Select all

    [remove_object]
        id=$unit.id
        object_id=aww_disable_attacks
    [/remove_object]

I think it's much simpler than what you're trying

side_turn does not contain unit, so filter means it never activates.
