integer meleeattack ( ch : unitptr, vict : unitptr, bonus : integer, wtype : integer, primary : integer) ch : The character which should make an additional attack. vict : The victim of the attack. bonus : Any penalty or bonus added to the attack. wtype : The weapon type of the attack, if a valid type then that is used for the attack purpose, otherwise the default weapon/hand attack is used. primary : Used to determine if we should use the primary weapon (wielded) of offhand (held/hand attack).
result: 'ch' performs a melee attack (using whatever weapon is wielded or his bare hands) against 'vict'. Returns the amount of damage given (-1 is failed).
If wtype is within a valid weapon range (WPN_XXX) any weapon will be bypassed, and the value will be used as the attacktype. Good for things like "meleeattack(ch, vict, bonus, WPN_CIRCLE_KICK, TRUE)" if you want person to be able to perform an extra attack even though wielding a weapon or something. Note that this will require BOTH a weapon type WPN_CIRCLE_KICK and a skill "kick" in order for it to work.
