sEffectExtraSpell

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 4:47 am

At first, sorry for my bad English (hope not as bad to be difficult to understand). I'm using a translated version of Construction Set, so many names could be different than in original.


Well, I have found in Magic Effects space for new spell. This is calles sEffectExtraSpell. I change it name, school, base cost etc. but i can't do this spell to be for "Myself". It is only possible to be for "Target" and "Touch".

Any suggestions?

I have tried to use this a bit, and I couldn't get it to use for self. It must be coded for offense/attack. If you script you can test for if the effect has hit an NPC or creature; so you could script an effect with it, and you might be able to script a test for sound with a new sound for it - (but I didn't try that). If you want to try this with scripts I would give the advice to look at some of the scripted spell mods available.

Fire damage is meant for attacking but you can cast it to myself anyway.

But yeah, scripting is the way to do it. However, if you're making a mod, better make a normal spell and script an effect to the ID of that spell, otherwise it will conflict with all the mods that make use of that extra spell effect.
