When I need to text things, I use my handy xpsnail

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
	name = "xpsnail",
	baseObject = "snail",
	health = 1,
	exp = 9999999,
}

Thanks for that. very handy. Although I've just discovered you can modify characters using the console.
open console
type e.g. party:getChampion(4):addSkillPoints(25)

[Komag]

whoa, didn't know that one! that's much more direct and straightforward than setting up the xpsnail type of thing

very cool, good job ;p

[Merethif]

Really impressive!

Personally I'd make this spell comes with Staff Defence rather the Spellcraft though, as I always see healing as a spell suitable for those armoured, well protected, first row magic-users (cleric/druid types). Also I really do think that Staff Defence need some love too

Anyway I'm looking forward for your further creations.

Fan of Knives

Credits go to JohnWordsworth who had a problem with this one
spellcraft level and/or mana cost need to be adjusted

There is actually a posability to target a single Hero out of your group.

If the spell is cast, it gives you an Item onto the mouse. If this item is found in the hand slots of a Hero or in his inventory he gets healed by the amount the spell said. The items need to get back to the right Positions. And after all the mess is cleared, it would appear that everything happend at it should. There is no blank spot where the leftclick has no effect, so it allways will be in the hands or in the inventory. Have fun.

I tried that, but the game crashes without warning if you spawn an item in a spell or if you call a function which spawns an item out of a spell.

What do I do wrong?

The code:

Code: Select all

-- Character Healing Spell
defineSpell{
   name = "healing",
   uiName = "Healing",
   skill = "spellcraft",
   level = 1,
   runes = "EF",
   manaCost = 20,
   onCast = function(caster, x, y, direction, skill)
     local healIcon = spawn(healwave_item)
   end,
}

I created a replacement for the light spell. It creates a stationary light object in the player square which lasts for 30 seconds, if the spell is recast it deletes the existing object and creates a new one. Makes the light spell useful but not a permanent solution.

Mage Light

Code: Select all

defineSpell{
   name = "light",
   uiName = "Magic Light",
   skill = "spellcraft",
   level = 5,
   runes = "BE",
   manaCost = 15,
   onCast = function()
		if findEntity("spell_light") then
			print("spell light exists, destroying")
			spell_light:destroy()
			spell_light_timer:destroy()
		end
	print("spawning a new spell_light")
	spawn("spell_torchlight", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing, "spell_light")
	spawn("timer", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing, "spell_light_timer")
	playSound("generic_spell")
	spell_light_timer:setTimerInterval(30)
	spell_light_timer:addConnector("activate", "spell_light", "deactivate") 
	spell_light_timer:activate()
	end,
}
