I want to open a door whith the party casting a special spell, but I can't figure how to do that correctly.

What kind of spell is it?
Does the spell create a projectile, and when it hits the door, you want the door to open?

Simple question: why don't we have a discord server?

I want to open a door whith the party casting a special spell, but I can't figure how to do that correctly.

Here is one way to do it:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "party",
	baseObject = "party",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Party",
			onCastSpell = function(self, champion, spell) 
				if spell == "darkness" and
					true --substitute TRUE for your own condition to restrict the trigger.
				 then 
						tomb_door_stone_1.door:open() --triggered event.
				end
				return true
			end,
		}
	}
}

Why is this question so often asked? It was just asked on the InXile forums as well. What would be the point?—what would be the benefit?

It could be fun Forums are too formal, it's like sending an email

No, I want to cast the darkness spell, according to a riddle, and open a door.
With a projectile it would be easy, but not for this spell.

thank you, I'm going to look at that!

Does monster:getResistance() not work?

I added an onDamage hook to a monster and :getEvasion(), :getProtection(), etc work fine, but :getResistance() returns nil

Some monsters don't have any resistances, like the Forest Ogre.
The Air Elemental has resistances to all damage types:

Code: Select all

resistances = {
	fire = "immune",
	cold = "immune",
	poison = "immune",
	shock = "absorb",
	physical = "immune"
},

You're probably right to assume I didn't test on a monster with resistances (customer support 101 lol)

But anyway I did and it still returns nil

Btw the turtle's resistances are listed like this:

Code: Select all

resistances = { ["poison"] = "weak" },

But something like the herder is like this

Code: Select all

resistances = { poison = "immune" },

I tried both styles and both still give me nil

Here's the code (the hook calls this function):

Code: Select all

function onDamageMonster(self, damage, damageType)
	print(self:getResistance())
	print(self:getEvasion())
end

On a turtle that prints

Code: Select all

nil
-10

I thought "maybe he's calling the function w/o any arguments".
But then I thought "that can't be it, he must be calling it on a monster w/o any resistances"

getResistance() needs a string argument, even if the Scripting Reference doesn't say so:

Code: Select all

getResistance("fire")
getResistance("cold")
getResistance("poison")
getResistance("shock")
getResistance("physical")
