Making the strong Ale.

[Luis4u]

Hi there,

I need an advice. I have a problem with adding a special effects to my mixtures. For example, I want to make a mixture that will have one or two positive effects and few negative effects. I made, few days ago, a mixture with positive and negative effects, but the problem was, that you could choose the between the effects of the drinks.

So the question is how to make a mixture that would give both effects in the same time, just like the mae beetle juice does.

You'd need to add the Cast Spell, Unique Power, Single Use item property to the item, then have a custom script to support your custom effects. Name the script i_tagofyouritem_ac and it'll automatically be run when the item is activated.

Here is an only slightly tweaked example from: http://www.nwnlexicon.com/compiled/func ... bject.html, lest it look like I put a ton of work into this.

Code: Select all

// Example of appling a linked duration effect to the PC speaker,
// perhaps, in this case of a Freedom-type link, and visual

void main()
{
    // Get the person to do the "spell" to to do.
    object oPC = GetItemActivator();
	
    // Declare the immunity to entangle, movement speed
    // decreases, and the duration effect
    effect eSlowImmune = EffectImmunity(IMMUNITY_MOVEMENT_SPEED_DECREASE);
    effect eEntangleImmune = EffectImmunity(IMMUNITY_ENTANGLE);
    effect eDuration = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_FREEDOM);

    // we specially link the effects before appling them. If this was 
    // a hostile spell, such as a Slowing effect, and they were
    // immune to slow, which was linked with an approprate visual,
    // it would not apply the visual if the slow didn't work.
    // The second reason is dispelling, they should all be removed 
    // together if dispelled.
    effect eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eSlowImmune, eEntangleImmune);
    eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eLink, eDuration);

    // Note: We can apply it as a supernatural or extraodinary
    // effect here, after its been linked, if we wished.
    //eLink = EffectExtraodinaryEffect(eLink);
    //eLink = EffectSupernaturalEffect(eLink);
	
	// Set a duration (in seconds), for some reason this was
	// missing from the lexicon example
	float fDuration = 60.0;  

    // Apply the duration effect for fDuration.
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eLink, oPC, fDuration);

    // Optional: Maybe it was permament? no duration needed!
    //ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eLink, oPC);
	
    // Optional2: Maybe it was an instant effect?  Wired's favorite:
    // effect eDeath = EffectDeath();	
    // ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eDeath, oPC);
}

Thanks for help. A strong dark Ale coming up!
