Whirlwind - On hit effects

[jimjon01]

I'm new to modding D2, and have got the .txt files to play around with. I've figured out some stuff through trial and error, reverse engineering some stuff, and reading through topics here. I haven't been able to figure out how to enable whirlwind to apply on-hit effects though and wondering if someone can point me in the right direction? Is this possible through the .txt files or is that something that would have to be done through the code?

Hi jimjon01, unfortunately it does not seem possible. I've been able to trigger ctc while whirlwinding using an aura that shoots out arrows while whirlwinding, and the problem is that the game crashes when a ctc activates while whirlwinding.

Darn. I was hoping it was doing via the .txt files. I remember playing Project Diablo 2 and it worked there, I tried picking through that .txt file but it's fairly similar and all the different components don't enable WW to trigger hit abilities. Unless they need something hard coded to point to first.

Project Diablo 2 is very hardcoded, so some of the things you may see in PD2 will not be possible with txt file editing. Although some of it may be possible to do with softcoding even if it is hardcoded in PD2, like Melee Splash.
