scripting new skill / class

I would guess you aren't running beta 2.1.15 or later?

I have 2.1.16

... and ingame console command

Code: Select all

party.party:getChampion(1):setClass("my_custom_class")

works.[/color]

Then you should be good to go. You probably have an error in the scripts. Here's something to get you up to speed:

Code: Select all

defineRace{
	name = "hobbit",
	uiName = "Hobbit",
	inventoryBackground = "assets/textures/gui/inventory_backgrounds/human_$sex.tga",
}

defineTrait{
	name = "hobbit",
	uiName = "Hobbit",
	icon = 0,
	--iconAtlas = "mod_assets/textures/skills.tga",
	description = "As a hobbit you are really short.",
	onRecomputeStats = function(champion, level)
		if level > 0 then
			champion:addStatModifier("dexterity", 10)
		end
	end,	
}

defineCharClass{
	name = "king",
	uiName = "King",
}

defineTrait{
	name = "king",
	uiName = "King",
	icon = 1,
	--iconAtlas = "mod_assets/textures/skills.tga",
	description = "...",
	gameEffect = [[- Health 60 (+7 per level), Energy 30 (+3 per level)]],
	onRecomputeStats = function(champion, level)
		if level > 0 then
			level = champion:getLevel()
			champion:addStatModifier("max_health", 60 + (level-1) * 7)
			champion:addStatModifier("max_energy", 30 + (level-1) * 3)
		end
	end,
}

Hobbit / King is there, so conclusion is we really need assetpack
Thanks for your help!

[petri]

Sweet! Hobbit Kings will rule the world!

Comparing my definition and hobbits: the only difference is, that 'onRecomputeStats' probably is not optional as scripting definitions says. Adding that took my custom class to work.

It is optional. There must be something else.

EDIT: well, sort of "optional", without it you get very little health!

Petri and Leki - thank you both of you!!
Those examples were a great help

[Leki]

Well... You were right petri, looking for the reason of this mess, I went through system and here is the true story:
I made definition, It was ok, but the game wasnot updated! Looking for solution, after crashes I restarted game very first - and it happened few times. After last crash I started to type my post, but during this time, steam decided that it's 'good time' to update the game to 2.1.16. You wrote reply fast so when you asked for version, I checked it and it was 2.1.16 and my next try with script was with your's hobbit and it worked of course - as My custom class as well...
and all this happened because I use my notebook right now and instead of my desktop where LoG is allways updated, this one was not - so some times shit happens, haha, have a nice day man!

[petri]

Oh, sometimes things like these happen. Great that you got it working! Have fun!
