Party Healing Spell
(now with different runes)
Here's a party healing spell I created... it requires Spellcraft level 24, costs 20 mana and heals 1.5 to 2 times the skill of the caster to all party members.
Code: Select all
-- Party Healing spell
defineSpell{
name = "healing",
uiName = "Healing",
skill = "spellcraft",
level = 24,
runes = "BEF",
manaCost = 20,
onCast = function(caster, x, y, direction, skill)
local heal_amount = math.random(6,8)/4*skill
for i=1,4 do
party:getChampion(i):modifyStat("health", heal_amount)
end
playSound("heal_party")
party:playScreenEffect("frostburst")
hudPrint(caster:getName() .. " healed the party by " .. heal_amount .. " points")
end,
}

For reference to others reading this thread, here is a little pic that shows the rune letters:

can you attach a spell effect? like the little just teleported glow or something? or a recolored fireburst.

I haven't really worked with FXs yet.. but I can give it a go, or someone else with experience could post.
edit - I've now added a sound to the original spell which I think improves it. Still not sure how to go about adding an effect.

look at the thread about the flame skeleton. I think that gives an idea on how to attach effects.

party heal is cool, how hard would it be to modify it to heal a single character - to allow a "target" function.

It would be pretty easy to have the spell heal only 1 character... the difficulty lies in selecting which character as there's no way for the player to pass that information to the spell. Other than doing a random character, The only thing I can think of at the moment is to use party.facing() so if you are facing North the spell heals character 1, East character 2 etc. Of course that would be very hard to do when you're in the middle of a fight!
edit - perhaps another way would be to cycle through the characters and see which has the lowest health... so the spell would always heal the closest to death.

Maybe change it a bit so it heals a character with lowest health ? Or lowest % of total health ? That would make it heal one character, not random.

Yeah, I'd like to work on a single healing spell that heals the lowest health character.. If I can get that to work, then I plan on combining the two and testing "Skill" when the spell is cast... if the mage has a high enough spellcraft skill then it will do heal party.. otherwise it heals a single most-needy character.
PS - I managed to add a pretty visual effect to the spell above.

You could go further and implement some kind of healing marker item.
Logic behind it:
onUse:
- get party member with lowest hp, save it to global lowestHP
- for the party member who used the marker set HP to lowestHP - 1.
He'll automatically become new healing target.
again, workaround, but you can (somewhat) choose who do you want to heal. Dunno how to implement it lore-wise thou
EDIT: I know, make the item with syringe icon and call it an anesthetic or smth
