Take the case i'm scripting a new invisibility spell. I want it to equip i_rune_invisibility as a memory. How can i do it?
Setting proper RUNE_ITEM, DURATION and LAYER don't make the spell create or equip the item. Also, the i_rune_invisibility has LAYER=0 and TYPE=t_spellicon, i can change the type to t_spell but not the layer, so i can't equip it. Funny thing is that the i_rune_invisibility created by the hardcoded spell s_invisibility has LAYER=39 (the one i set as spell's layer).

Code:

[ITEMDEF i_rune_invisibility]

DEFNAME=i_rune_invisibility

ID=i_memory

TYPE=t_eq_script

ON=@Equip

src.invis

Why would i redefine that item? Also i'm not sure i can do it, i can instead edit the script of i_rune_invisibility, or change after creation the type to t_eq_script. By the way, i don't want to change the script, if possible, i am interested rather in making the thing work like the hardcoded one without changing anything, i'm pretty sure i'm missing something.

Solved by doing this:

Code:

SERV.NEWITEM i_rune_invisibility

NEW.ATTR=026

NEW.MORE2=01

NEW.MOREX=2531 //custom spell number

NEW.TYPE=t_spell

NEW.LAYER=layer_spell_invis

NEW.CONT=<UID>

Anyways, i'm still wondering how can i make it work with RUNE_ITEM,DURATION and LAYER.

Now sure if Layer property is RW off the top of my head. You might just have to change the base script or replicate it and do your own layer in the main definition.

Code:

[itemdef i_rune_new_invis]

id=i_rune_invisibility

type=t_eq_object

layer=layer_special

category=Magic

subsection=Runes: New Runes

description=Invisibility Rune (New)

Let me know what is going on. If I am wrong and layer is indeed changeable in game (I don't think it is), it could be the spell code is forcing a layer change (I doubt it though).

In game it isn't changeable, but the code i wrote works, so maybe you can change it before the positioning in the world.

Yeah, it is as I thought then. Layer's aren't RW in game, just R. Which makes sense. Super happy you figured this out and have it working. ^_^ Always trying to help when/where I can.
