At the risk of making a pest of myself, I'd like to know why this doesn't work. :) I decided to code around the problem with damage_near_loc passing through walls, and came up with this:

beginstate 3; // attacking
...stuff here that's ok...

// time to spit more poison?
if (tick_difference(last_abil_time, get_current_tick()) > 1) {
// don't use damage_near_loc, because it damages where it shouldn't
i = 0;
while (i < 4) {
distance = char_dist_to_loc(i, my_loc_x(), my_loc_y());
if (distance == 1) { // character is adjacent
print_named_str(ME, "spits poison!");
play_sound(42); // acid hiss
damage_char(i, get_ran(3, 1, 3), 2);
}
i = i + 1;
}
}

do_attack();
break;
That seems to me as if it should work, but any character that's adjacent ends up taking damage four times, instead of only once. So where did I go wrong?

EDIT: DOH! It's always the simple gotchas. :D Adding last_abil_time = get_current_tick(); before the last curly bracket makes it work as expected. Sorry 'bout dat!
