Ground Drift Effects?

[Sandalphon]

I'm taking a peek at Gunslinger's Ground Drift in order to better understand how it works.

		case UNT_GROUNDDRIFT_WIND:
			if(skill_attack(skill_get_type(sg->skill_id),ss,src,bl,sg->skill_id,sg->skill_lv,tick,sg->val1))
				sc_start(ss,bl,SC_STUN,50,sg->skill_lv,skill_get_time2(sg->skill_id, 1));
			break;
		case UNT_GROUNDDRIFT_DARK:
			if(skill_attack(skill_get_type(sg->skill_id),ss,src,bl,sg->skill_id,sg->skill_lv,tick,sg->val1))
				sc_start(ss,bl,SC_BLIND,50,sg->skill_lv,skill_get_time2(sg->skill_id, 2));
			break;
		case UNT_GROUNDDRIFT_POISON:
			if(skill_attack(skill_get_type(sg->skill_id),ss,src,bl,sg->skill_id,sg->skill_lv,tick,sg->val1))
				sc_start2(ss,bl,SC_POISON,50,sg->skill_lv,ss->id,skill_get_time2(sg->skill_id, 3));
			break;
		case UNT_GROUNDDRIFT_WATER:
			if(skill_attack(skill_get_type(sg->skill_id),ss,src,bl,sg->skill_id,sg->skill_lv,tick,sg->val1))
				sc_start(ss,bl,SC_FREEZE,50,sg->skill_lv,skill_get_time2(sg->skill_id, 4));
			break;
		case UNT_GROUNDDRIFT_FIRE:
			if(skill_attack(skill_get_type(sg->skill_id),ss,src,bl,sg->skill_id,sg->skill_lv,tick,sg->val1))
				skill_blown(src,bl,skill_get_blewcount(sg->skill_id,sg->skill_lv),-1,BLOWN_NONE);
			break;

Each trap has a different effect depending on which Sphere is used to place it. The duration of each status effect is called from Duration2 within the skill_db.yml file.

I was able to confirm that Poison, Blind and Stun indeed work correctly. But once I tried the Water Sphere, I ran into issues. I'm able to freeze enemies but they don't stay frozen for the 12 seconds that are stated in skill_db.yml. In fact, they will break out of freeze immediately. I tried against monsters and players, same result.

Also, although these calls have skill_lv on them, I was unable to figure out what they do for the purpose of status effects. While they do increase the damage of the traps, I don't see where they fit here.

your damage is probably being applied after the status effect if the break is instant, or your status duration timer is 0 for whatever reason. that could be because of status resistances, or because it's not getting the time correctly in the first place.

 

 

you have some extra hard coded number there that i don't("4"), there's a chance that could be the culprit. or, if you've modified status effects already, there is also a chance you bugged your status effect tick code for freeze at some point

 

i short, i need more info on your files to solve it, if that's not the problem.
