Is there a way to let a champion starve?

I can surely alter his food value by using
:setFood(amount)
:modifyFood(food)

but that doesn't seem to affect the food bar. It doesn't change...

Works for me.

Code: Select all

function setFoodBar()
	local champion = party.party:getChampion(1)
	
	champion:setFood(0)
end

Connect this function to a pressure plate.
Immediately sets the food bar to 0 and displays the "hungry" icon.

strange.

this is of course my first atempt also. But I did it as a starting function. This doesn't work. If I put it into a function and trigger it by a device it works.



Anyway. Danke!

Was the starting function called with a Delay Call (set to something like 0.1) ?
If not, do try using a delayedCall( )

Or a self-deactivating floor trigger at the starting location

It works fine with a floortrigger.

It didn't worked as an open function to be triggered at start. But as akroma222 said: It's probably a matter of a missing delay...

Got it to work as intended meanwhile...

Is it possible to get the position of a given champion?

I want to swap the position of on champ - I have his odinal number - do I get somehow his position?

I need it for to use party.part:swapChampions(i, j)

Ah - yes. "the other way round"...

Works great. - Thanks!

To piggy back on the food question. Is there a way to 'lock' a champions food bar, until say an item is used or spell is cast? For example a 'curse of hunger' until remove curse is cast. Could also work in the opposite with an elixir of plenty where it stops champions decay for a period of time.

The multiple magic school spell pack from andakrainor has a custom spell called feast.
For 30 seconds your food bar will slowly regenerate.

Perhaps you can use this info to create this into a negative condition where it will deplete your food bar instead of regenerate for xx amount of time.
