question on new npc dmg code im workin on

[Armanthuz]

Is there any way to call a function that will return how much AC a CLIENT has been buffed for by SPELLS ALONE? How exactly would i call this and where is it if it exists?

thinking about replacing line 1271 and down in attack.cpp with this..

}
		if (mylevel <= 5) {
		    if (min_dmg==0)
			min_dmg=1;
		    if (max_dmg==0)
			max_dmg = mylevel+4;
		    // 1 = 2, 27 = 54
		}
		
		if(max_dmg != 0 && min_dmg <= max_dmg) {
			int DI = ((max_dmg) - (min_dmg)) / 19;
			int DB = (min_dmg) - DI;
			int XX = ((float)rand()/RAND_MAX)*20;

			if (other->IsClient()){
				dmgbonusmod += (float)(((this->spellbonuses->ATK + this->itembonuses->ATK)/2)*.05);
				dmgbonusmod -= ((((float)other->CastToClient()->GetRawItemAC())/2)*.05);
				}

			else if (other->IsNPC()) {
				dmgbonusmod += (float)(((this->spellbonuses->ATK + this->itembonuses->ATK)/2)*.05);
				dmgbonusmod += (float)(((this->GetAC())/2)*.05);
				}

			XX = XX + dmgbonusmod;

			basedamage = DB + (XX*DI);
		}
		else if (other->GetOwnerID()!=0) {
			// FIXME Shouldn't nerf the damage of charmed pets
			basedamage = mylevel*1.9f*clmod;
		}
		else { // Default calculation
			basedamage = mylevel*level_mod*clmod;
		}
		
		
		
		damage = (int)basedamage;

So far ive tested it on my server and it seems in the neighborhood of what i want, but a ways to go. It DOES mitigate dmg similar to eq by armor worn, but i cant get spell AC buffs factored in yet. I also have to factor in mitigating down to a miss which happens in real eq. The formulas used are based off of work from link below if anyone is interested...
