hello
i can't figure out how to get the potion to give the effects of the spell instantly without the player casting.
Anyone able to help?
void PotionofClarityExtended()
{
object oPC;
if (!GetIsPC(GetItemActivatedTarget())
){
return;}
oPC = GetItemActivator();
object oCaster;
oCaster = oPC;
object oTarget;
oTarget = oPC;
AssignCommand(oCaster, ActionCastSpellAtObject(SPELL_CLARITY, oTarget, METAMAGIC_EXTEND, TRUE, 9, PROJECTILE_PATH_TYPE_DEFAULT, FALSE));
}
I you look at the actual script called when the spell is cast, you will see how to implement what you want. The impact script is "NW_S0_Clarity.nss" If you look through it the script applies effects with specific duration. Never calling "ActionCastSpellAtObject". The reason you get the spellcasting visuals is because when you use the "ActionCastSpellAtObject", the game defaults to the defined spellcasting algorithm using the spell.2da defined properties. You only want to implement the impact script.
thanks!
i just added
DelayCommand(1.0, ExecuteScript("nw_s0_clarity", oPC));
and the potion works now.
but how should i edit NW_S0_Clarity so the spell from the potion is extended but otherwise not?
Here is the code for a script to implement the extended clarity. Connect via #include and call the ExtendedClarify(object oPC, int bExtend) function directly. Set bExtend = TRUE if you want the spell extended. look in the code to define the method of defining duration you desire
Retour en hautvoid ExtendedClarify(object oPC, int bExtend)
{
object oTarget = oPC;
//Declare major variables
effect eImm1 = EffectImmunity(IMMUNITY_TYPE_MIND_SPELLS);
effect eDam = EffectDamage(1, DAMAGE_TYPE_NEGATIVE);
effect eVis = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_MIND_AFFECTING_POSITIVE);
effect eDur = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_CESSATE_POSITIVE);
effect eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eImm1, eVis);
eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eLink, eDur);
effect eSearch = GetFirstEffect(oTarget);

{
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eDam, oTarget);

}

}
float fTime = 30.0 + RoundsToSeconds(nDuration);
//After effects are removed we apply the immunity to mind spells to the target
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eLink, oTarget, fTime);
}
//add a check to see if it was cast from a potion, if so, double its duration
if (nMetaMagic == METAMAGIC_EXTEND || GetSpellCastItem() == BASE_ITEM_POTIONS )
{
nDuration = nDuration *2; //Duration is +100%
}
@Terrorble: You'll want GetBaseItemType(GetSpellCastItem()) probably.
thanks everyone.
i tested both a regular clarity potion and the extended potion using a lvl 10 paladin (not sure if the class/lvl makes a difference) the non extended clarity effect lasted 48 seconds, the extended pot had a duration of 30 seconds...
here are the two scripts
#include "pw_mod_inc"
void main()
{
ExtendedClarity();
}
void ExtendedClarity()
{
object oPC;
if (!GetIsPC(GetItemActivatedTarget()))
{
return;
}
oPC = GetItemActivator();
object oCaster;
oCaster = oPC;
object oTarget;
oTarget = oPC;
//Declare major variables
effect eImm1 = EffectImmunity(IMMUNITY_TYPE_MIND_SPELLS);
effect eDam = EffectDamage(1, DAMAGE_TYPE_NEGATIVE);
effect eVis = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_MIND_AFFECTING_POSITIVE);
effect eDur = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_CESSATE_POSITIVE);
effect eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eImm1, eVis);
eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eLink, eDur);
effect eSearch = GetFirstEffect(oTarget);

int bValid;
int bVisual;
//Fire cast spell at event for the specified target
SignalEvent(oTarget, EventSpellCastAt(oPC, SPELL_CLARITY, FALSE));
//Search through effects

{
bValid = FALSE;

{

ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eLink, oTarget, fTime);
}
i am missing bExtend = TRUE. i didn't understand that part, sorry.
Sorry bout that but I set the get caster level to OBJECT_SELF.... fixed it by edit in the post above. Try copy past again.
Question: Do you want the duration set to the level of the user or the potion? If the potion, leave as fixed above. If the level of the user, uncomment
int nDuration = GetHitDice(oPC);
and comment out
int nDuration = GetCasterLevel(oPC)
To get an extended effect call the function in this manner
ExtendedClarify(oPC, TRUE);.
Be sure to define oPC.
ok, switched duration from potion to user.
but now when i try to compile this...
#include "pw_mod_inc"
void main()
{
ExtendedClarity(oPC, TRUE);
}
it doesn't compile and says "variable defined without type"
so bExtend = TRUE isn't working, right?
Ok, I re-edited my post above to set to User for you.
Compiles.
Now place an include in whatever script you use to call the function.
#include"The name you gave the script above"
Then place the following code in the script
object oPC = GetItemActivator(); ExtendedClarify(oPC, TRUE);
yup, i am using tag based.
2 min 30 seconds with the extended pot, at caster lvl 10. its working!
i get the feeling you made errors intentionally, so i could try to puzzle it out. now i just might be able to figure out how to make extended aid/bless potions on my own. ty
have a good one.
That's good news.
When your ready, post and you can see how to "hook' your spell scripts..... 
solution using Community Patch 1.71:
add variable on potion ITEM_METAMAGIC_OVERRIDE int 2
and thats it
ah ok, thanks. i have 1.71 installed, guess i should have read the documentation more closely. i learned a bit from this thread though and decided to keep the script tied to this potion so this wasn't all for nothing. making what i need next will be a lot easier now though.
