a script to trigger when a rune is cast

[Karinas23]

Much like getting teleported when you cast the balance rune at the en d of the main game....( i dont know shit about scripting )

Basically i want a door to open when a specific rune is cast while stood on a specific tile. any idea how id go about that

Define the spell in your spells.lua

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

defineSpell{
   	name = "karinas_spell",
   	uiName = "Karinas Spell",
	requirements = {"concentration", 1},
   	gesture = 147,
 	manaCost = 5,
	icon = 0,
	spellIcon = 0,
	description = "door to open when a specific rune is cast while stood on a specific tile.",
   	onCast = function(champion, x, y, direction, elevation, skillLevel)
		customSpellScript.script.karinaSpellCast(champion, x, y, direction, elevation, skillLevel)
   	end,
}

Then place a script entity in your dungeon called 'customSpellScript' and paste this into it...

Code: Select all

function karinaSpellCast(champion, x, y, direction, elevation, skillLevel)
	
	local square = findEntity("karinaSpellSquare")
	
	if (party.level == square.level
	and party.x == square.x
	and party.y == square.y
	and party.elevation == square.elevation) then
		hudPrint("Success!!.... do stuff here.")
		karinaDoor.door:open()
		playSound("level_up")
	else
		hudPrint("You need to be standing on the grass...")
		champion:playDamageSound()
	end
end

Then place an object (forest_floor_01 for example) somewhere in your dungeon and name it 'karinaSpellSquare'

Lastly place a door (castle_door_wood for example) somewhere in your dungeon (probably close by) and name it 'karinaDoor' - DONE!

The spell uses the 3 runes on the left, top left to bottom left.

now i can create my doors sealed with rank 5 elemental spells ;p

[Karinas23]

Spell just causes an error ;p

[Blichew]

What's the error ?

From the top of my head: is the spell actually "castable" ? I mean does it form a line on the casting grid ?

[Karinas23]

its castable....the error happens when i cast it

Looks like you don't have customSpellScript script_entity in the game.

Could you post spell definition here ? code from customSpellScript script_entity might come handy too...

[Karinas23]

never mind i got it, the danger of having your own name in scripts....automatically capitalising it without realising
