NPC casting check for spell currently active on target?

[Annie_Thorne237]

Hi, got a question about AI scripting. How can you get the NPC to make a check to see if the PC or anyone else in the party already has a spell on its target. trying to get the NPC to check if "regenerate light wounds" is already cast upon it's target, so it doesn't continuously cast the druid regenerate spell.

 

Currently, the script goes: (roughly)

 

IF

HPPercentLT(MostDamagedOf([PC])

SpellCastRES("sppr117",MostDamagedOf([PC]),50)

HaveSpellRES("sppr117")

THEN

RESPONSE #100

SetInterrupt(False)

SpellRES("sppr117",MostDamagedOf([PC])

SetInterrupt(True)

END

 

 

Also...

is ([PC]) enough to get the NPC to cast on other party members?

Please please please help

Should be, although it'll only match the most damaged (is there second etc. most damaged type? I forgot...). Or you can also iterate players individually after the initial MostDamaged() target, but that'll need additional HPLT() (to not cast on healthy targets) and See() (unlike dynamic [] object types, static ones are not bound by the line of sight) checks.

Spell will need to be flagged with a custom stat (ToBEx) or spellstate (BG EE), so that actor can be checked for it. Although maybe CLERIC_REGENERATION would suffice too.

As for how to add it... You'll either have to use CLONE_EFFECT function to copy an effect with matching duration into a stat, or kick me until I update the Detectable Spells lib that's in public with EE v2.0+ code and documentation...

Thanks so much!

Just got back into BGII modding (Original not EE). Got ToBEX installed but don't know how to flag the script's spell with a custom stat. Tried fiddling with Stat.ids and adding DRUID_REGENERATION as number 201. How does one go about using that pesky CLONE_FUNCTION?

Don't know how to edit posts so...

Sorry for not asking this from the beginning, not being clear and all...can't stand phones, they are soooo tiny...

 

IF
HPPercentLT(Player1,70)
HaveSpellRES("sppr117") // Regenerate Light Wounds

>>>>>"CheckStat(Player1,X,X)" <<<<< what do you have to write here to get the game to look for "Spell Revisions" druid regenerate spell currently on Player1? and only cast it on player1 if their health is below and that they don't already have it cast currently on them?

Is this even possible. Don't know how to use ToBeX... again,sorry for not being very clear at all...

!StateCheck(Player1,STATE_INVISIBLE)
!StateCheck(Player1,STATE_IMPROVEDINVISIBILITY)
CheckStatLT(Myself,25,SPELLFAILUREPRIEST)
!GlobalTimerNotExpired("u_Healing","GLOBAL")
Global("u_SpellcastingOff","LOCALS",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetInterrupt(FALSE)
SetGlobalTimer("u_Healing","GLOBAL",ONE_ROUND)
SpellRES("sppr117",Player1) // Regenerate Light Wounds
DisplayStringHead(Myself,119628) // Regenerate Light Wounds
SetInterrupt(TRUE)
END
