Prevent finishing NPCs¶

This hook is triggered whenever an NPC tries to finish another NPC while they are unconscious. It extends the default finishing system by allowing custom script conditions to determine whether finishing is allowed.

To control finishing behavior, define the following Daedalus function: zDExt_Npc_CanFinishAttack defined in Scripts/Content directory.

• attacker – NPC performing the finishing attack
• target – NPC being finished
• return – FALSE (zero) to block the action; TRUE (nonzero) to allow it. If the script call fails, the action is allowed and the failure is logged.
