This pack provides builders with access to three different systems of combat �cover� with a light, medium and heavy trigger for each system which provide increasingly powerful bonuses. The three systems are as follows:
1) A concealment system where light cover provides 20% concealment, medium cover provides 35% concealment and heavy cover provides 50% concealment.
2) An AC system where light cover provides 4 AC, medium cover provides 6 AC and heavy cover provides 8 AC.
3) An AC+Hide system where light cover provides 4 AC+5 Hide, medium cover provides 6 AC+10 Hide and heavy cover provides 8 AC+15 Hide.
Multiple cover systems are included to increase flexibility and give builders some different options as to what sort of cover they would like to include. I would recommend deleting the ones you don�t plan on using, just in case you accidentally select the wrong triggers. I hope to update these eventually and potentially include some forms of �negative� cover, meaning where an object is exposed, as well as environmental stuff with relevant effects (e.g. a �water� trigger that represents the effects of wading through shallow water).
Feel free to edit the scripts and triggers to suit your individual needs, but be sure to give proper credit. Finally, I would like to thank Lugaid of the Red Stripes, Mithdradates and BrianMeyer for providing much appreciated assistance.
I'm glad you found them useful, and thank you for your vote! _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

Can't wait to get this implemented into our pw. Thanks Apep (one our own doing us proud!). _________________________ Admin / Story Lead - The Frontier Reborn. Soon to have an e(8) level system, overland and oversea maps, custom cover, and more! check us out at: Link
Has anyone had trouble with systems 2 and 3? Recently mine appear to have broken, but they were working prior to release. Let me know if you have. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link
Thanks ubernerd and nicethugbert, and unfortunately no bert. Currently system 1 doesn't affect melee attacks, so breaking the cover to melee someone will ignore the concealment, but in general it's a no. Some key points for improvement that have come up so far are:
A) A message when you are attacking someone in cover. This will hopefully prevent player frustration (e.g. "Why won't you die orc!!!!!11one").
B) Negation of cover when it's 'broken' (e.g. someone runs up behind you), somewhat like you've described.
C) A little bit more variety, such as the negative cover for each system and other things. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

Incidentally, does this take into account orientation? For instance if you get past the barricade providing cover, does the opponent lose cover? _________________________ NTB's Hills and Valleys Vol. 00

Hey Screer, that's great to hear. Please feel free to alter them to suit your PW's needs and contact me by email if you have any questions. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link
Wow! This looks great! I've been wanting to make something liek this a for a while now. You read my mind. I'll give it a look for our PW and then offer up a vote. _________________________ Tales of Moonsea
