Updated scripts for dragon special abilities (breath weapons, wing buffet, tail slap). This is a work in progress, so there will be much tinkering in the future (and perhaps support for other breath weapon types).
dragon_breath_scripts.erf contains the new scripts, which can be imported into a module.
dragon_breath_effects.zip contains the new breath weapon visual effects. Place these in the override folder, or put them in a HAK and associate it with the module.
Breath weapons with new visual effects include cold, gas, lightning, negative energy, paralysis, and fear.
Wing buffet now plays the correct dragon animation (for want of removing a single asterix in the script).
Tail slap now does damage in a full circle, rather than just behind the dragon. The dragon should now do a 120 degree turn while playing the tail slap animation. Disarm has also been fixed, and bludgeoning damage added.
[Some of the breath weapons appear in the 'Special Abilities' list in the toolset twice. These updated scripts use the second of each pair of options. The Bronze and Blue dragon blueprints in the toolset use the FIRST entry though. I have now included an updated version of the first script, which works for Bronze Dragons (but not so well for Blue Dragons)]
