Code: Select all
function raiseDead()
local conditions = { "poison", "diseased", "paralyzed", "haste", "rage", "fire_shield", "shock_shield", "poison_shield", "frost_shield", "invisibility" }
for i = 1, 4 do
local c = party:getChampion(i)
if (c:getStat("health") == 0) then
for _, cond in ipairs(conditions) do
c:setCondition(cond, 0)
end
c:setStat("health", 1)
end
end
end
Living ones are unaffected. Dead ones are freed from all conditions (good and bad) and brought back to life at 1HP.

Wow Xanathar! this is Perfect for an Altar. Aka "Altar of Vi". Use"Remains_of_" that you must sacrifice on the altar to recover a character. Wouldn't it be cool if we could spawn "remains_of_yourdeadcharacter" upon death, and use those on the altar?

I think we need a item:setUIName("name") function to do that. Would be a good function to ask for next time petri gets beer.
Or we cheat, and rename the champions instead

Thx a bunch. I had to change it a little
This works perfect. You will have to get your own rez sound though.
defineSpell{
name = "rez_spell",
uiName = "Ressurection",
runes = "BDEFH",
skill = "spellcraft",
level = 0,
manaCost = 10,
onCast = function(caster, x, y, direction, skill)
local conditions = { "poison", "diseased", "paralyzed", "haste", "rage", "fire_shield",
"shock_shield", "poison_shield", "frost_shield", "invisibility" }
for i = 1, 4 do
local c = party:getChampion(i)
if (c:getStat("health") == 0) then
for _, cond in ipairs(conditions) do
c:setCondition(cond, 0)
end
c:setStat("health", 1)
end
playSound("rezsound")
party:playScreenEffect("teleport_screen")
hudPrint(caster:getName() .. " Casted Ressurection")
end
end
}

Xanathar's version looks great. sorry I wasn't around to help this time... but seems like it's all sorted.

Could you make X items 'Human Remains', 'Minotaur Remains', etc and make them of type Scroll, and then set the scroll text to be "The remains of " .. champ:getName(); when you spawn them?

Nice! I think that's good enough for me, I might dump the dead champ's inventory on the floor too. (still want :setUIName() though)

Nice one! Will definitely include this
It is hard to pass judgement on balance without knowing the context (the dungeon mod)..
If the dungeon is hard and brutal enough to need it, then go for it!
Personally I am looking forward to difficult boss battles, where reviving dead champions mid battle will be a must
