So i put the following into my dungeons spells.lua:

Code: Select all

defineSpell{
		name = "fireball",
		uiName = "Unstoppable Fireball",
		skill = "fire_magic",
		level = 1,
		runes = "E",
		manaCost = 30,
		onCast = "fireball",
	}

and i put the next code box into my objects.lua:

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
		name = "fireball",
		baseObject = "ice_shards",
		particleEffect = "fireball_greater",
		sound = "fireball",
		uiName = "Unstoppable Fireball",
		attackPower = 30,
		damageType = "fire",
	}

The only problem is, whenever i try to cast it, my game editor crashes. Also, i downloaded the assets v2 on the website, but was unsure where to put them, so i stuck it in my mod_assets folder.

		damageType = "fire",

Also - 1. wondering how I make spell scrolls explaining the runes needed for these new spells - I have noticed each scroll in the items.lua file use gfx 113 - how would one create new scrolls with according runes??

defineObject{
	name = "scroll_enchant_arrow",
	class = "Item",
	uiName = "Scroll of Enchant Arrow",
	model = "assets/models/items/scroll_spell.fbx",
	gfxIndex = 113,
	scroll = true,
	spell = "enchant_arrow",
	weight = 0.3,
}

*hid quoted code in spoiler to save room*

Is it because you named it and the clone the same as an existing spell? You're defining a spell that already exists, aren't you? "fireball"? What if you change the name to "unstoppable_fireball" in both codes?

Example:

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

defineSpell{
		name = "unstoppable_fireball",
		uiName = "Unstoppable Fireball",
		skill = "fire_magic",
		level = 1,
		runes = "E",
		manaCost = 30,
		onCast = "fireball",
	}

and i put the next code box into my objects.lua:

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
		name = "unstoppable_fireball",
		baseObject = "ice_shards",
		particleEffect = "fireball_greater",
		sound = "fireball",
		uiName = "Unstoppable Fireball",
		attackPower = 30,
		damageType = "fire",
	}

(I also needed to make the '=' on line 14 a '==' before the editor would load up).
I am off to sleep now, but will play around with the new code soon, thanks again for the nudge hey!!!

Currann wrote: That is probably it, but wouldnt calling the spell to cast "fireball" instead of "unstoppable_fireball" not do anything different? Either way, i tried the code, and my editor gives my a Warning saying "Warning! unkown buit-in-spell: unstoppable_fireball

onCast = "fireball"

onCast = "unstoppable_fireball"

onCast = function(caster,x,y,facing,skill)
 -- script your spell here
 -- e.g. spawn("unstoppable_fireball",x,y,facing)
end
