Scion Request

[1Boppoom1]

Ok for the scions is there a way to get them to teleport using the spire to teleport every so minutes instead of talking to an NPC....If you havnt noticed already im an Origonal and it doesnt seem all that fun when you can use the cheat codes.

Is there a quest code that does it and if not could anyone write it cause i completely suck at quests......

thanks

*shrug* Im not really in the mood to attempt it, but it wouldnt be that hard, something to do with event timers, etc.

i once stepped on a mouse

Just use an event timer set on event spawn with invis man npc and use the journey luclin (AE) spell

[Richardo]

unfortunately cisyouc, I dont think AE wide spells like that work in eqemu with perl. May work though so give it a shot... and if it does, I will steal your ideas Nick hehe :p

If we read the question more carefully, he asks if it would be possible to actually make the spires go - with the little glowy bubbles round the platform.

If AE Spells work, then this would be the best way possible:

sub EVENT_SPAWN{
quest::castspell($mobid,*any invisible spell*);
quest::settimer(1,900);
}

sub EVENT_TIMER{
quest::castspell($mobid,*any invisible spell*);
quest::me("The Nexus Spires begins to cast a spell.");
quest::castspell($mobid,*Translocate to ______ spell*);
}

Not too sure if thats correct, it's been a while since I last did a quest, but I need to get back into the swing of things .. good luck! Just point out anything I may have missed, I need to kick start my 'I'm the best! quest writer' mode again ..

actually teleport npcs dont work period. (using the spells)

because the teleport (translocate etc) spells are flagged beneficial in the spells.txt and the emulator REFUSES to let a npc cast this on a player and vice versa. you get the spell effects but nothing happens.

[Cisyouc]

Don't cast it on a player. Cast it on the npc. If its an AE....?

[Scorpx725]

What about having an NPC there, then when hailed he spawns another NPC thats invis, then when that NPC spawns hes on the timer.

Once timer runs out, do it like a normal buff type NPC.

Well the way they worked in EQLive was there was acctually an invis npc at each spire named "Nexus Scion" that would cast the AE Translocate spell.

Im not sure but wouldnt it be possible to use an event timer , say 15min as in EQLive , and if the PC is in the right area at that time the PC casts the spell themselves.
I know with soulbinders you have to use selfcast.

[Dave987]

Anyone able to confirm 100% that AE Spells don't work, even if the NPC casts it on itself?

Use that one I posted above, just change it so it's the actual spell numbers, no *any invisi spell* etc. :P

[Cisyouc]

geez guys you dont need invis spells there is an invis man race Use bodytype 11 and hes untargetable too.

[sotonin]

Regardless. all the Teleportation spells are marked as beneficial. So when they hit the player they wont affect them. I have brought this up numerous times to numerous people nobody wants to fix it. It affects all the cancel magic line, many knockback spells, etc. They are marked as beneficial and when cast by a npc wont affect a player.

[Scorpx725]

*shrug* Thats annoying.

Ehh, if you use selfcast(), it is a ghetto way to make it work hehe but no AE...

sub EVENT SAY
{
if$text=~/Hail/ {
quest::selfcast(spellid);
}

but I think this code wouldnt be good for scion, because it makes the (client) cast the spell instantly. Not client(s) in area :(
