Temple+ New Feats

I don't think oname is necessary, you can leave it blank (in which case the item will spawn with .name equal to its proto).

Another thing you may want to do is run the game with the debug console. It provides info about bad protos, broken .mes lines and such. To do so run toee with the command line switch

Code:

toee.exe -window tigdebug=console

 

How exactly am I supposed to use this? I don't understand what all of the variables mean.

Code:

game.timevent_add( fade_back_in, ( target, spell.target_loc, spell ), 750, 1 )

I just want to wait 3 seconds ingame and then create/equip an object to the pc.
Secondly, I want to equip the item to the primary hand of the PC. How will I do that once I create the object and give it to them?

Also, for the proto, is the image correct? I don't need to put anything in san_drop, san_throw, or san_wield_off?

 

Why would I need to identify the item if the script being ran is only applied for that item? Shouldn't it implicitly know who it belongs to?

 

I've added more explanation in the wiki on Time Events.

Regarding the other san_'s- some of those don't actually work.
See:
http://www.co8.org/community/index.php?threads/a-list-of-useful-script-attachment-points.2407/

I think san_remove is sufficient, but it's very important to experiment here to make sure it doesn't fire when you don't intend it to due to some internal engine operation. I've seen that go haywire in the Brother Smyth script.

I don't think IDing the item is necessary if it's only applied to that item.

As a general note - you should learn to make use of existing examples more. You can find just about anything with Notepad++ and ctrl+shift+f.

 

So I don't need to create additional scripts as Allyx suggested?

Once I create the mind blade item and give it to the user with

Code:

item_obj = game.obj_create( holy_water_proto_id, spell.target_loc )
    spell.caster.item_get( item_obj )

Replacing the holy water with mind blade obviously, is there a way to equip it to the primary hand?

Code:

npc.item_wield_best_all()

seems to me like it might not work if it just applies itself to any items the pc has in his inventory.

 

Amazing as it may sound vanilla ToEE doesn't support equipping specific items via script! Livonya had to resort to some insane workarounds back in the day.

I've now added for v1.0.30 two new PyObjHandle commands:

Code:

obj.item_worn_unwield( equipslot )
obj.item_wield(item, equipslot)

Where equipslot is the equipped item index (starting with 0 for helmet), and item is the item object handle you wish to equip.

P.S. it handles things like shields and improper equipslots internally. E.g. you can't equip a shield while wielding a bow or two weapons, so you don't have to fuss with that either.

 

Is either the Temple+ or Co8 mod going to add in some of the missing Clerical spells like Blade Barrier or fire Seeds so that Clerics can have Higher level Domain spells?

 

Currently working on wall spells so Blade Barrier is quite possible. Not familiar with fire seeds.

 

Can I use this to equip an item that is not in the inventory? IE I just create the object on the map and then equip it. In case my character has a full inventory but empty primary.

Also, how/where do I add the mindblade modifier to the mind blade in protos.tab? The one that makes it do magic damage and changes the weapon glow.

 

No, you have to do item_get first. I could expand item_get so it can fill up the invisible inventory slots (beyond 0-23).

Properties

 

It would be nice to expand just in case of that fringe case of full inventory while trying to manifest mind blade.

Do I just type "Mind Blade" into property 1 type and give no params then?
