Cannot seem to allow meditation when fighting, says you are too preoccupied. My flags for my meditation skill are "SKF_SCRIPTED" and this still occurs. I've also tried using "SKF_FIGHT" but it does nothing. Any ideas?

In last nightly sphere build (don't know/remember in previous builds) meditation actually starts even if you are in combat (i think it's a bug).

Example:
Enter War Mode
Start Meditation: the message "You attempt a meditative trance" will appear.
If Meditation is successfull you get no success message but instead the mana will start to rise, if you fail you get the "You lost concentration" message.
Try again to start meditation, you will get the "You are preoccupied with thoughts of battle" message.

Note:
When you succeed in meditation, the @success trigger is called until you cancel the Meditation action by using another skill or entering/leaving combat mode.

Note 2:
By applying the SKF_SCRIPTED flag the note above doesn't apply, remember to restart Sphere when you change a SKILL/SPELL flag.

Example:

Code:

[SKILL 46]

DEFNAME=Skill_Meditation

KEY=Meditation

TITLE=Stoic

FLAGS = SKF_SCRIPTED //Remember to restart Sphere after applying/removing a SKILL/SPELL flag

DELAY=2.0,1.0

STAT_STR=10

STAT_DEX=10

STAT_INT=100

BONUS_STR=5

BONUS_DEX=90

BONUS_INT=5

BONUS_STATS=20

ADV_RATE=10.0,200.0,800.0

ON=@Select

//serv.log  Selected meditation

//This should prevent you are in combat message when meditating.

if <ISTIMERF.f_resetMeditation> 

      sysmessage @70 You are already Meditating.

      return 1

endif

ON=@Fail

    //SRC.f_meditation_setup

    SRC.SYSMESSAGE You lose your concentration.

ON=@Abort

    //SRC.f_meditation_setup

    SRC.SYSMESSAGE You stop concentrating.

    TIMERF STOP,f_resetMeditation

ON=@Start

    //SRC.f_meditation_setup

    sysmessage @70 You start Meditating. 

    //Skill Check here

ON=@Success

    //SRC.f_meditation_setup

    sysmessage @70 You enter in a meditative trance. 

    regenMana += 5

    regenValMana += 10

    serv.log <regenMana> / <regenValMana>

    timerf 20, f_resetMeditation

[FUNCTION f_resetMeditation]

regenMana -= 5

regenValMana -= 10

sysmessage @70 You leave the meditative trance.

Anyway, in the script above a lot of checks are missing, so it's just for giving you an idea.

I tried adding what you suggested and it seems to only work when the player is not "too preoccupied" (not in combat). What is the flag for combat? If I add a check for combat on @select shouldn't that work? I just don't know what to put into the if statement for combat.

**darksun84** · 01-18-2017 04:43 AM

try in

Code:

ON=@Select

//if <ISTIMERF.f_resetMeditation> 

//sysmessage @70 You are already Meditating.

    if <flags>&statf_war

        sysmessage @70 You are meditating in combat.

        return 1

    endif

That would only work if the player is in war mode, when the player is in "combat mode" there is a whole other check somewhere that I cannot find.

What you gave me works when you are in war mode, but as soon as you double click anything to attack, this no longer works and it gives the message "You are preoccupied with thoughts of battle". Is there no way to check if a player is fighting something besides checking for war mode?

**darksun84** · 01-18-2017 05:28 AM

Ah i understand, yes looks like you can't meditate during an active fight, but i don't think it's modifiable by scripts.

Leonidas · 01-18-2017 08:16 AM

There has to be a way.. is there no way to check if a player is attacking something?

sorry about my question but, can i ask you why don't you simply create a new meditation sys unbounded from any char behaviour?

Leonidas · 01-18-2017 04:50 PM

I would love to do that, but I've never been able to figure out how I would make it so the "Useskill>meditation" macro would use my new system.

ok, maybe i don't have enough experience for that but if you want this skill to work anywhere, anytime and anyhow you can simply add @select a new memory that delivers a certain amount of mana every second and returning 1 the trigger to block the normal meditation use, something like this:

Spoiler (Click to View)

my only concern is that is looking a little bit "heavy" but could be a good base to work on to, from now on you can handle all skill levels, skillgain, skillwait delay and block cases adding an event
