For those of you who have played the excellent High-Level Force Powers mod by Stoffe, you may recall the power "Force Strike", which has that awesome lightning storm blast thing striking the target.
I was curious if I could have a version of Force Strike that hits multiple enemies at once, so I PM'ed Stoffe.
The reply follows:
However, I was curious if it would be possible to have a version of Force Strike, where multiple Force Strikes hit every enemy around you at the same time?
Hi,
That should be possible, though there might be a limit on how many beams the game can draw on screen at the same time so it might be necessary to make additional strikes come down with a slight delay if there are many enemies within the blast radius.
I don't remember exactly how the script is set up currently off the top of my head since it was so long since I did any KOTOR/TSL modding, but I'd imagine you could just take what's already there and place it in a loop that iterates through all the enemies within a certain radius of the selected target.

Unfortunately, I suck at scripting and programming in general, not having the head for it. I tried making adjustments to it to make it a multiple-target power, by comparing it to other multiple-target power scripts, but it wouldn't compile.
Therefore, I am posting the script as it appears in the "source" folder included in the rar of High Level Force Powers (all credit to stoffe!!).
Please tell me how I need to change the script as Stoffe describes above. Thanks so much!
