DAMAGE_TYPE_* Constant Group

The type of damage - that can or was inflicted, or to be versus for the purposes of AC.

In some cases these values can be combined together - they're essentially bitwise values - such as with EffectACIncrease, however in other cases only one value should be used, such as with EffectDamage.

Constants

Constant	Value	Description
DAMAGE_TYPE_ACID	16	Damage inflicted by acid.
DAMAGE_TYPE_BASE_WEAPON	4096	In the words of "nwscript.nss", although it is not mentioned in the 1.64 patch notes: The base weapon damage is the base damage delivered by the weapon before any additional types of damage (e.g. fire) have been added. This is to be used only with GetDamageDealtByType(), and is not valid for EffectDamage() (note: If used in EffectDamage() it defaults back to DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGICAL). This value however is valid for EffectACIncrease and EffectACDecrease and makes up a special AC_* constant for use in the parameters of the function.
