Grimrock

Hi to the Community

I am trying to create a new Spell and am having no luck .

What I tried to do is when the Player cast the Spell they are teleported somewhere eg:

cloneSpell{
name = "Velentiar",
baseObject = "Shock",
skill = "air_magic",
level = 1,
runes = "C",
manaCost = 15,

spawn("teleport",8,15,13,1,"q5") --teleport renamed here--

end
}

Its not working and II don't know why. I have tried for hours on this and it wont even load the Dungeon in the Editor??

Hi all.... sigh....

I figured out most of it after 4 days of brain drain....This is what I have.. I cant believe I figured this out by looking at like... I lost count of the posts on this site... Man. So what do you think?

defineObject{
name = "teleport_open",
baseObject = "scroll",
uiName = "Grave Yard Gate Spell",
class = "Item",
model = "assets/models/items/scroll.fbx",
gfxIndex = 30,
---consumable = true, --- Don't need, I think it has something to do the (return true statement) ---
scroll = true,
weight = 0.3,

description = "To open a Magic Gate one only has to know how..",

onUseItem = function(self, champion)
playSound("lightning_bolt_hit")
spawn("fx",8,17,16, 1):setParticleSystem("lightning_bolt_hit")

--- I can Spawn teleport here as well ---

gravedoor1:open()
party:shakeCamera(1.5,2)

hudPrint("You use the Scroll and Grave Yard Gate opens")
hudPrint("")
hudPrint("Gain 150 XP")

for i = 1,4 do party:getChampion(i):gainExp(150) end
return true --- This function makes the Scroll be used I think, Disappear. --- REM THIS ---
end
}

PS: I could not create a New Spell to do this Code.

Hi Mysterious, very strange that nobody answered this but with XMas and New Year frivolities I guess it just got overlooked! You cannot clone a spell, but you can define a whole new one from scratch. The syntax would be something like...
Your code would then go into the onCast function to do whatever you need. You can find more about this from the Modding link at the top right and then I think on the 'Asset Definitions' page you can see the exact syntax for this and things like recipies.

Oh Hi john.

Thank you for looking at my post. That's what I was after. I have found the Grimrock Assets Pack ver2 on a web site, and it has tons of awesome stuff. Slowly shifting through it all..LOL. Now I have the Scroll to match the Spell you gave me. Just shows player what Runes to use.

So yeah thanks again.

This is now what I have thanks to you:

--- Your Code ---
defineSpell{
name = "velentair",
uiName = "Velentair",
skill = "air_magic",
level = 1,
runes = "C",
manaCost = 15,
onCast = function(champion, x, y, direction, skill)
-- Some Lua Methods

--- Here I will have to put the name of the Gate the Spell opens ---
end
}

--- What I learnt from the Assets Pack. Oh it took me 1 day to figure this out ---

defineObject{
name = "velentair",
class = "Item",
uiName = " Open Gate",
model = "assets/models/items/scroll_spell.fbx",
gfxIndex = 113,
scroll = true,
spell = "velentair",
weight = 0.3,
}
