Breath Weapons in Melee Combat

This little mod vignette unleashes breath weapons from the invalid usage flag when engaged_in_melee. Say Waat?!

What this means is you are enabled to use breath weapons and other joys while engaged in combat. This may reduce your melee damage output while your unit is going through the ability animation sequence. If your unit is jarred during the ability sequence, the ability may be canceled due to animation interruption. In such cases, you may attempt to fire again at no penalty other than miscasting time.

Full List of Abilities modified with this feature:
frost_breath, frost_wyrm_breath, cackle_fruit, pyromaniac, bomb_throw, big_boom, cracklebomb, swamp_breath, noxious_breath_imrik, sun_dragon_breath_imrik, dark_fire_of_chaos, death_shriek, fiery_breath, moon_dragons_breath, noxious_breath, pestilential_breath, soporific_breath, star_dragons_breath, sun_dragons_breath, crippling_throw, fire_breath, bellow_of_endless_fury, bellow_of_fury, elemental_breath, nuku_chos_crossbow, copious_vomit

I am very excited for Skarbrand, Throgg, fire bellies, hydras, and river troll hags who often have difficulty using their good stuff due to enemy melee swarming and slow to fire responsiveness combined with animation times of the breath abilities.


This mod wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Cryswar's Guides and assistance provided from folks at the Modding Den[discord.gg]. Special thanks to Loupi for creating the original prototype hydra breath weapon in melee combat tables. You can find his version here as a part of one of his balance packs.

I hope you all unleash your best vomits of poisons, acids, frost and flames. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
