Plugin::ArcheryAttack()

Hmm. Your option is much better. I'm still rather new to the whole perl scripting side of things, so it was a challenge I made myself to see if I could do something a bit more advanced than "give me this item".
That being said, I did get a nice encounter working with this plugin, however, I will be the first to admit, it has its share of redundancy in the code, it is somewhat sloppy, and could be streamlined.
I admit I am very thrilled with the prospect of ranger (or any bow using npcs) using a bow if they have one in their loot table/model equipped. That's something that even live hasn't done yet!

kinda old i know but has anyone finshed anything 100%?. Because Necro swarm pet aa are supose to be archers yet they melee lol.

Ill take a look at this code and see if i cant use it but am rather new to this stuff myself

Yeah is this functional? I noticed there is a rule in the DB about npc archery damage now, but I haven't found a way to make them actually use bows.

Add special attack 'Y' to NPCs and they will use archery if their target is out of melee range. The rule is a multiplier of their normal dmg since we dont have values for ranged npc dmg in the db yet.
