Adding to the Spellbook Pt II

You'll find it in my mod which, if this spell works, will be ready today. Ted probably knows but I have a hostage so he can't say or I'll kill it :evil_laug

 

Help

what would I put to make a spell that targets everyone not just one person, as my spell does at the moment.

also to save time, how you remove saving throws or make them crazy so it would take a miracle, or god, to make the save?

 

Ted you must know what I'm tring to do from the PM's but so far it only hits one person not everyone nearby which is what I'm after.

target = spell.target_list[0]

do I have to change that to something else and if so, to what?

 

Well mostly success, guess what my problem is at the moment...

 

AFAIK saving throw determination depends on the spell you are using. Sometimes in the scripts there are calls to specific saving throw functions to determine whether a saving throw is made or not. Some spells do it internally when you add the condition with args. In the first case, remove the saving throw statement from the script, in the second case at the top of the function OnSpellEffect (below the function name) do this

Code:

spell.dc = 200

If that doesn't work go to data\rules\spells\ ###-spellname.txt and add the line:

Code:

Saving Throw: None

after the Range line (where ###-spellname.txt is the file for the spell you are modifying). One way or another this should alleviate your problem. I have been playing with this stuff for a bit and I am pretty sure this is how it all works. If this is not the case, please let me know.

While I am here let me give a status update on my spell mods. I have Miracle working so that it heals/raises all friendlies in a 30 foot radius. Haven't been able to figure out how to use the radial menus so, until I do this will be the default effect of that spell. Paladin Holy sword works and gives the caster non-transferable possession of Excalibur for caster level rounds. I am having a problem with limiting access to the holy sword spell, however. I can make sure that the spell caster is of a high enough level to cast the spell but I can't find anyway to make sure that the spell is memorized in a spell slot with the proper level. See my post in the Thread "Darmagon's New spells" for an explanation of why this is necessary. Once I find out how to do that then the 3rd/4th level Ranger/Paladin spells will be easy to implement. Just a matter of copy and paste to new spell names. So if anyone knows how I can get a handle on a spell's slot level within a script, please let me know

I am working on a few other spells as well and should have a fairly substantial new offering by the end of the weekend.

well, I tryed spell.dc = 500 and also in the spell text have saving throw none and when I tested every one got saving throw successful, I also tryed making the result for a successful saving throw the same as an unsucessfull one but still no luck, well back to more testing, I think that I might have broken othe bits of the spell because the eyecandy stuff didn't happen either.

 

Don't worry, I got it. yeah :biggergri elvicthr :clap: :giggle: :largeclap :icon_chuc :joy: :dance: :evil_laug :rock:

 

Have you tried using game.timevent_add?
In OnSpellEffect insert only this :

Code:

delay_time = 3000
game.timevent_add(blast, (), delay_time)

(set delay_time to whatever the actual delay time should be in milliseconds.)

At the end of the script define the blast function like this:

Code:

def blast():

and do all of the actual spell stuff in this function. If you need to use any of the spells data fields (like spell.dc, spell.caster_level etc.) you can assign the values to global variables. To create a global variable just assign to it at the top of the script file after the import statements. for example to create a global variable named 'foo' the top of the file would look like this:

Code:

from toee import *
from utilities import *

foo = -1

to be able to assign to 'foo' from within a function it has to be declared global in the function, like this (using the blast function):

Code:

def blast():

        global foo

if you just need to use the value of the global variable and not actually change it you don't have to declare it global, you can just use it. So you would probably declare your variables global in OnSpellEffect and assign to them what you need to there, and then just use the variables in the blast function.

There, that is my python/toee scripting tutorial for the day I hope it all makes sense.
