Script action : 341 StaticPalette

[deratiseur]

Hello.

 

I try to color a spider by aplying a new palette, with a script :

IF

Global("color","LOCALS",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

StaticPalette("MSLI_OC",Myself)

SetGlobal("color","LOCALS",1)

END

 

The script is compiled without error, but the creature isn't re-palleted

 

if i add a "DisplayStringHead" action, the text is displayed, so the bloc work. So, is there a secret with the 341, or is this action doesn't working at all ?

That's only for animation objects, I think (it modifies the palette field in ToB area animations).

 

Creature BAM palette substitutions are hardcoded to the animation slot; there's no game method for changing them.

OK, thanks

You could probably achieve what you want with Polymorph() or ChangeAnimation() instead.

That was in my post, but I reread and saw he wanted to color a spider with the slime palette.

 

Probably he can just use spells/items with one of the RGB tints, although it'll look fuglier than a custom palette would have.

Yes, it will glow in the dark or in the light depending on which opcode you use (#51 or #52). I did this with a brownish tint on a spider originally (to make a myrlochar) but ended up repaletting it via BAM Batcher and Infinity Animations to get a less fugly effect.

Yep, the original IE is quite hard coded regarding animations, even animation palettes.
