This tutorial contains a false comment inside one of its codes:
QUOTE This is a technique used to account for the pause between spellcasting. It cuts off spellcasting actions when they cannot be performed,[...] So, you might have the following block: IF !GlobalTimerNotExpired("castnattack","LOCALS") HaveSpellRES("spwi999",Myself) THEN RESPONSE #100 SetGlobalTimer("castnattack","LOCALS",6) // Timer always set to 6, as that is the duration of the pause SpellRES("spwi999",LastSeenBy(Myself)) END Well, this is wrong! As I have mentioned elsewhere the duration of the pause is NOT 6. I don't know how many modders might have been misled by the fasle comment inside the code which says "as that is the duration of the pause", but it's now perhaps the time to let people know that it is false. The duration of the pause varies from spell to spell (it's not 6 for every spell). I know the exact duration of the pause for each and every spell, but the easiest way to implement the correct duration of the pause is to use "SpellNoDec" instead of "ForceSpell" as it is implemented in Improved Anvil. -------------------- Improved Anvil
 Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating. |
