I've never ventured into JA coding beyond doodling with NPC files, but I would really like to change Force Drain in MP.

I have fond memories of draining Stormtroopers in SP, but in MP Drain is absolutly useless, draining only Force manna. I want to make it drain health, but I don't have the faintest clue where to start. Can someone help me?

hmm, try taking a look insde w_force.c at these 2 functions. forcedrain and forceshootdrain, those might help, and try look at the forcelightning and forceshootlightning code too, to see how force powers take away health.

In all of that, I couldn't find anyplace where it specified what it was damaging. :(

I supose it would help if I had some knowledge of C++, because the more I search the more confused I get.
