Custom Combat Script

Basic CCS

A Custom Combat Script (CCS) is a way of instructing mafia how to handle combat, round by round. For example, a simple CCS would be to tell mafia to pickpocket on round 1, then cast entangling noodles on round 2 and finally on rounds 3+ to use shieldbutt. If it is unable to carry out one of those steps, then that step will be skipped. For instance, if the character failed to get initiative, then pickpocket will be skipped and the character will go straight to entangling noodles. That CCS would look like this:

[ default ]

1: try to steal an item

2: skill entangling noodles

3: skill shieldbutt

If you wanted to do treat different monsters differently, that can be accomodated also. For instance, the following CCS will attempt to cast Transcendent Olfaction upon Black Knights while treating all other monsters differently. If the character currently has "On the Trail" then that line will be skipped.

[ default ]

1: try to steal an item

2: skill entangling noodles

3: skill shieldbutt

[ Black Knight ]

1: try to steal an item

2: skill transcendent olfaction

2: skill entangling noodles

3: skill shieldbutt

Consult Scripts

While this may seem reasonably flexible, sometimes you will want to do something too complicated to express in this format. For instance if you want your character to cast a Rave Combo if the character is a Disco Bandit, you'd have to change your CCS every ascension, but a consult script can automatically figure it out.
