EVENT TYPE COMMAND PENDING

Source:

script.ldf

Sent when:

Fires at the beginning of the attack part of the attack command OR at the beginning of an ability execution. The attack command includes walk->orient->attack - this event fires right before the attack part. When this event is received, the script is supposed to check if we need to disable a modal talent, verify mana/stamina values, verify valid target, calculate an attack roll (hit/miss/critical) and then calculate damage and inform the engine of the results.
