Untested [6.2] Chain Spells

[Guest]

Chain Spells

 

Description:

This patch allows you to "chain" spells onto other spells to generate unique combos and spells that have multiple functions.

Example:

You want a spell to both create an AOE and to fire a projectile forwards.

With this system, you are able to set a spell to chain another spell after it has been used. You are able to customise how much time in milliseconds to wait inbetween the chain.

 

Features:

Chain spells onto other spells

Have a customisable wait time inbetween chain reactions

NPC's can chain spells allowing for unique attacks

 

How to use:
 

Spoiler

 

Within server.config you'll find three lines:

 

"Chain From Spells List": [],
"Chain To Spells List": [],
"Chain To Spells Wait Duration List": [],

 

The first list is the list of spell names which cause chain reactions. The second list is the list of spell names which can be chained from. The third list is the amount of time to wait in milliseconds before using the chained spell. These lists are linked, so the first value in list 1 matches with the first value in lists 2 and 3.

 

An example of a chain spell "Fire Breath" that initiates "Dragon Claw" after 1 second and "Water Bubble" that initiates "Ice Bubble" instantly after:

 

string[] chainfromspellnames = new string[] { "Fire Breath", "Water Bubble" };
string[] chaintospellnames = new string[] { "Dragon Claw", "Ice Bubble" };
int[] chaintospellwaittimes = new int[] { 1000, 0 };

 

"Chain From Spells List": ["Fire Breath", "Water Bubble"],
"Chain To Spells List": ["Dragon Claw", "Ice Bubble"],
"Chain To Spells Wait Duration List": [1000, 0],

Interesting, have you considered moving the options out into the options file?

Interesting, I'll try it

 

Also, it doesn't work if you don't already have the spell so I will work on an update for that

Update

 

Changes:

-You can now find the lists in the server resources/config.json rather than in the patch itself. (thanks @Joyce for suggestion)

You will need to download the patches in order

Right click > Save link as > this should give you <randomnumbers>.patch and just change <randomnumbers> to whatever you want to save the patch file as.

Thank you very much man! Was completely clueless

Hi there,

 

I like to apply this patch but ran into problem. Sorry I am new to Git, maybe something easy I overlooked.

 

C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Intersect Source\Intersect-Engine>git am --signoff < 1.patch
Applying: Chain Spells

 

C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Intersect Source\Intersect-Engine>git apply --check 2.patch
error: patch failed: Intersect.Server/Entities/Entity.cs:2225
error: Intersect.Server/Entities/Entity.cs: patch does not apply
error: patch failed: Intersect.sln:1
error: Intersect.sln: patch does not apply

 

C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Intersect Source\Intersect-Engine>

 

First patch (from "Download Patch" link) does check OK and look like applying. Second patch item (from "Download Update" link) check has error. I check line on 2225 in Entity.cs file but not appear to have problem.

 

I read I can use --reject option to skip, would this be OK?

 

Thank you your time!

Hello. I've made a tutorial about patch conflicts. It may help you, because my solution uses more graphical interface even if more steps are needed. You can also use diffy.org to manually do the edits :

Amazing, i get a long time to make it works(first patch i applied) but when it works was the best thing in the world, i did alot of spells of my game classes only because your patch,  ex: Oni Giri(Dash+projectils) Mera Spin(projectils that explode in another projectils full dir), hirameki(a perfect slice made by using tree skills chained to make moviment ilusion), i dont know why this isnt in the engine by defalt its wonderfull.

one more: projectils with trail(trail as a new trigered project delayed to apear exactly 1 step after the skill head, imagine as a kamehameha from dbz)

Is anybody able to verify if this patch would work with the latest version of Intersect?

Almost certainly no. However, the current version of Intersect has a "Cast Spell" event, and using event spells you can achieve similar results as to what this patch did.

[Seshy]

Event spells is good but I was hoping to have chained spells for NPCs.

The Event spells however do not work for NPCs.
