Greetings,

I have recently tried to make a Aura kind of spell (Think Paladin from Diablo 2). An area of effect around a character which buffs players as long as they stay inside of the area. Also it should move with the caster.

I decided to try this using multiregion:

Code:

[SPELL 425]

DEFNAME=s_siegesrausch

NAME=Siegesrausch

SOUND=044b

RUNES=

CAST_TIME=0.5

RESOURCES=

RUNE_ITEM=5578

SCROLL_ITEM=I_SCROLL_X_RED

FLAGS=SPELLFLAG_GOOD

EFFECT_ID=0

EFFECT=0

DURATION=0

MANAUSE=5

SKILLREQ=Magery 1.0

INTERRUPT=0.0,0.0

ON=@Start

if (<restest 1 i_rune_kaiserbanner>)

consume i_rune_kaiserbanner

endif

if (<restest 1 i_rune_siegesrausch>)

consume i_rune_siegesrausch

return 1

endif

ON=@Success

NEWITEM i_rune_siegesrausch

EQUIP <ACT.UID>

SERV.NEWITEM i_siegesrausch

NEW.P=<P>

NEW.LINK=<UID>

NEW.REGION.EVENTS +r_siegesrausch

NEW.TIMERF 1,REGION.FLAGS=0

REF1=<NEW.UID>

ACT.LINK=<NEW.UID>

RETURN 0

[ITEMDEF i_rune_siegesrausch]

ID=8323

TYPE=t_eq_script

NAME=Rune_siegesrausch

ON=@equip

timer=1

ON=@timer

timer=1

link.p=<cont.p>

cont.effect 3,14202,1,21

return 1

ON=@unequip

SRC.SYSMESSAGE @0481,,1 Du beendest Siegesrausch.

LINK.REMOVE

[ITEMDEF i_siegesrausch]

ID=i_memory

NAME=Siegesrausch

TYPE=T_MULTI

VALUE=1

MULTIREGION=-4,-4,5,5

ON=@CREATE

ATTR=08010|attr_decay

TIMER=60

[REGIONTYPE r_siegesrausch] 

ON=@Enter 

IF (<SRC.ISPLAYER>) && !(<SRC.ISGM>)

SRC.SYSMESSAGE @0481,,1 Du stehst unter dem Effekt von 'Siegesrausch'

src.effect 3,i_fx_bless_effect,1,16,0,0,2

src.events +e_siegesrausch

endif

ON=@EXIT

IF (<SRC.ISPLAYER>) && !(<SRC.ISGM>)

SRC.SYSMESSAGE @0481,,1 Der Effekt von 'Siegesrausch' lässt nach...

src.events -e_siegesrausch

endif

This works more or less as intended. However it inteferes with events from existing region. Not just @enter or @exit events but also antimagic flags.

My question would be: Is there a way to nest a region inside a region so that they do not interefere with each other? Or maybe a better way to do the whole 'aura' thing (hopefully without lots of timer and forchars)?

I was thinking about ROOMDEF but apparently you can not use @Enter/@Exit Trigger on that one.

and @regionenter trigger being constantly on player and checking whether it is the spell region doesn't work?

But I personally think that this is not that good idea. Well, it is good in theory, but totem with forcycle ticking every second, giving memory item and refreshing timer would be easier and cleaner.

Since with region you have to check more stuff. And if there are some shitty things - the region disappears, enter/exit triggers doesn't work always properly (just my experience, sometimes it fired, sometimes not and i had to check and check). With this temporary item ticking you don't have to check where you are, if you left the region and those shits. The only check would be "does memory item exist?" No? => create one, Yes? refresh timer/set it to 2.
If the totem item disappears, no worries, the memory item removes itself very soon. No additional checks and operations.

E: ticking every 2 seconds might be good too if you want to minimalize servers work. But no more. I would also set memory timer a bit higher than ticking time. It is actually you wanted to avoid, but this is the best way I know. No bugs, no stupid checks, short code, does what you want.

Try it with something like this :

Code:

[Spell 425]

DEFNAME=s_siegesrausch

NAME=Siegesrausch

RUNES=

CAST_TIME=0.5

RESOURCES=i_reag_mandrake_root //Reagents ?

RUNE_ITEM=5578

SCROLL_ITEM=i_scroll_x_red

FLAGS=SPELLFLAG_SCRIPTED|SPELLFLAG_TARG_CHAR

EFFECT_ID=0

EFFECT=0

MANAUSE=5

SKILLREQ=MAGERY 50.0

INTERRUPT=100.0,1.0

ON=@SELECT

    ARGN1 42 

ON=@EFFECT

CALL f_spell_siegesrausch

RETURN 0

[FUNCTION f_spell_siegesrausch]

IF (<ISITEM>)

    IF (<CONT>)

        RETURN 1

    ENDIF

ENDIF

IF (<SRC.ACTION>==Skill_Magery)&&(<ARGN1>==<SRC.ACTARG1>)

    IF (<SRC.FINDID(I_spelleffect_siegesrausch)>)

        SRC.FINDID(I_spelleffect_siegesrausch).remove

    ENDIF

ENDIF

LOCAL.Wirkung <EVAL (20*<ARGN2>)/1000> // Strength of the effect

SERV.NEWITEM I_spelleffect_siegesrausch

NEW.MORE2=<LOCAL.Wirkung>

NEW.MORE1=<EVAL <ARGN2>/100> // How often should the effect occur?

EQUIP <NEW.UID>

[ITEMDEF i_spelleffect_siegesrausch]

ID=i_rune_bless

LAYER=56

TYPE=t_eq_script

ON=@EQUIP

    ATTR=026

    TIMER=7

ON=@TIMER

    IF (<MORE1>)

        LOCAL.Wirkung <MORE2>

        SOUND snd_spell_bless

        MORE1 -= 1

        CONT.effect 3,i_fx_bless_effect,1,16,0,0,2

        LOCAL.UID = <CONT.UID>

        FORCHARS 4

            IF (<HITS> <= <MAXHITS>)&&!(<FLAGS>&02003)

                EFFECT 3,i_fx_heal_effect,0,28,0,2535,3

                SPELLEFFECT s_bless,<local.wirkung>

            ENDIF

        ENDFOR

        TIMER={8 13} // Intervall

    ELSE

        REMOVE

    ENDIF

    RETURN 1

It is only a part of one of our spells (other effect), and i haven't tested it. But it should give you an Idea how to create your spell[/php]

@Alaric: Hmm might be the only valid solution. With a REGION it seemed to be more effective and smoother than memoryitems and timers but oh well...

@Shidhun: This might work for something like you did (a recurring effect) but i think it wouldnt work for something that is gets set when you enter the aura and removed when you leave the aura. Like raising resistances for example. You dont really want them to jump up and down all the time.
