Couple of things: I know how to create custom portraits, and know by running a script saying party:getChampion(1):setPortrait etc that I can change the pic of a character ingame. How do I make the pics selectable when the game is exported ie at the start of a game, if the player selects custom chara...

Thanks' for that, guys. Problem sorted. Just selected "change facing" in teleporter, now the item lands on the pressure plate every time (its next to a door anyway so that stops the flight). As mentioned in one of the replies above, I`ve already got it as part of a puzzle. The player cant ...

In my game, I have a pressure plate placed behind a closed portcullis. The plate opens the door when triggered by an item. The player has to throw an item (doesn't matter which) into a teleporter, which then teleports the item to the location of the pressure plate. I set up the plate and teleporter ...

I know how to clone and define new spells, but I want to create a custom spell that uses the lightning bolt spell as its base, but doesn't have as many damage points (sort of a mini lightning bolt with a third of the damage). I've checked everywhere in the assets scripts (items, spells etc.) but no-...

Thanks for such a detailed explanation. Clear as mud but will give it a try! Thanks once again for taking the trouble to answer my query. Still all a learning curve for me, but I`m getting there. Maybe I`ll be able to help someone else out one day. You never know!

Thanks for all the help so far. I`ve tried following every tutorial. Managed to create basic custom items by cloning existing assets and changing their colour. Not very inventive, but a start. Basically, what I want to do is take an existing model, alter it (ie draw a cross on it for example), then ...

I`m trying to create a cinematics for my game, using 3 images (1920 *1080). I opened these jpeg images in GIMP, and exported them as DDS files to my mod_assets/textures/cinematics/intro folder following the guide on here. I then wrote an intro.lua then exported the game out as a dat file so I could ...

Quick question: I notice every object in the game has a gfx item number (scrolls, keys, weapons etc). I assume the numbers are used by the game to catalogue/reference each item in the database. How does this work? What I mean is, if you clone an object and call it something else (ie clone "dagg...

No need for help now. Figured it out. Just defined a new scroll in Items.lua (instead of trying to clone one, )and set spell = to my resurrection spell. Works fine now!

Ive scripted a resurrection spell that works when you click on the right runes, but I need to know how to create a scroll for it that will inform the player what runes to press, just like the other scrolls do such as Darkness, Light etc. Or is there a way of just cloning a scroll and printing the pi...
