 Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2015 12:13 Post subject: Polymorph and Spells: Funcs plugin |
 |
|
Details: NWN1, NWNX 2, Ubuntu machine
Hello everybody,
I would like to ask you about a system to "Save Spells and Restore them after Polymorph".
I will try to better explain.
One of the most nasty problems is the lose of spells when you polymorph (example: Tenser Transformation or shifter's spells).
Basically, the spell slot bonus gained with objects or whatever are lost.
The idea is easy:
- Save the available spells loaded in the book
- Do polymorph
- Do un-polymorph
- Reload the spells TO the slot
- Restore them if they were not used
I have seen that NWN Funcs plugin provides some functions
| Quote: | int AddKnownSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel, int nSpellId);
int ClearMemorizedSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nLevel, int nIndex);
string GetAllMemorizedSpells (object oCreature);
int GetBonusSpellSlots (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel);
int GetKnownSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel, int nIndex);
int GetKnowsSpell (int nSpellId, object oCreature, int nClass=CLASS_TYPE_INVALID);
int GetMaxSpellSlots (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel);
int GetRemainingSpellSlots (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel);
int GetTotalKnownSpells (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel);
struct MemorizedSpellSlot GetMemorizedSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nLevel, int nIndex);
int RemoveKnownSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellId);
int ReplaceKnownSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nOldSpell, int nNewSpell);
int RestoreReadySpells (object oCreature, string sSpells);
int SetKnownSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel, int nIndex, int nSpellId);
int SetMemorizedSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nLevel, int nIndex, struct MemorizedSpellSlot mss);
int SetRemainingSpellSlots (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel, int nSlots); |
In particular I guess I need these ones:
int RestoreReadySpells (object oCreature, string sSpells);
int SetKnownSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nSpellLevel, int nIndex, int nSpellId);
int SetMemorizedSpell (object oCreature, int nClass, int nLevel, int nIndex, struct MemorizedSpellSlot mss);
But I am not able to make them working.
There exist a documentation?
Can somebody give me some feedback?
I admit that this work is fantastic and I really thank you.
However, it really needs documentation!

It's difficult because the spells are dropped from the spell list when casting stat or bonus spell slot is lost if you use the engine polymorph (can't hide on a non-accessible item slot either and there's no effect for spell slot AFAIK). So it's hard to grab all the data you need and you lack a script hook to return those uses (item acquire or equip scripts fire for polymorph, forget which it is).
Easiest is just to drop polymorph and use other functions to simulate it, that way it's easy to turn spell casting on/off for example. Adding functionality is always nicer than doing a huge amount of work to make the existing thing slightly less bad

I don't think there's any documentation past on what is in the include.
However, I did something similar in the past; allowing users to save/restore spellbooks to a database so they can have presets.
https://github.com/silm/silm/blob/master/mod/nss/includes/inc_spbookmgr.n
This doesn't save ready-state but that can be patched in. You'd have to adapt the code of course.
Hope this helps a bit.
Let me know if you have specific questions!

Hello and really thanks for your answers!
I tried your code but still doesn't work.
I think that i misunderstood this part:
| Code: |
int level = pGi(1);
int class = pGi(2);
int spell = pGi(3);
int meta = pGi(4);
int index = pGi(5); |
What are pGi? |

As I said, you'd have to adapt it to suit your needs. This basically just shows how I use the MemorizedSlot functions since you were asking on use cases.
Those functions are from my custom database lib.
If you are familiar with SQL, those just retrieve the column results for the current row and convert them to native types.
