Protagonist Spell Only Options

[Rabain]

I want to create a spell that only the protagonist can cast. If anyone else tries to cast it they will get a message.

So far I have tried casting a spell that sets a global. In a script if have the following:

CODE

IF
    Global("PConly","GLOBAL",1)
    Class(Player1,MAGE_ALL)
    IsActive(Player1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        ActionOverride(Player1,ForceSpellRES("MyPConlyspell",Myself))         ActionOverride(Player1,DisplayStringHead(Myself,8538))
        SetGlobal("PConly","GLOBAL",2)
END

Ignore the DisplayStringHead..thats just for testing.

What is happening is that even if someone else in the party casts the first spell my Player1 starts casting "MyPConlySpell"

I can't seem to find a valid script command that specifies PC only.

I will also need a command that will work if someone not the PC casts the spell. I can use this in a second script block.

If I understood you correctly, what you have done so far is this:

1- You have a spell (say, spell1) which if cast by anyone will set the global variable PCOnly to 1.

2- Then you have written a script to make sure that if the global is set to one and if it is set to 1 because player 1 (and noone else) has cast spell1, then your player one will also cast spell2 on himself. (spell2 = MyPCOnlyspell)

Right?

If so, then it is natural that it has not worked. The way to solve the problem is easy:

Spell1 doesn't need to set any variable. It doesn't need to do anything at all. Just Extend Baldur.bcs and Baldur25.bcs so that whenever Player1 casts spell1, the spell2 is applied to him while whenever any other charcter casts spell1 the message you want be displayed (The only additional work here is that you need to add spell1 to spell.ids)

CODE

  

IF
    Class(Player1,MAGE_ALL)
    SpellCast(Player1,Spell1) // You need to have spell1 in your spell.ids
    RESPONSE #100
        ActionOverride(Player1,ReallyForceSpellRES("MyPConlyspell",Myself))  //

END



IF
    SpellCast(Player2,Spell1)
    RESPONSE #100
        ActionOverride(Player2,DisplayeString(Myself,~Only the protagonist can cast this spell~)) //

END

IF
    SpellCast(Player3,Spell1)
    RESPONSE #100
        ActionOverride(Player2,DisplayeString(Myself,~Only the protagonist can cast this spell~)) //

END

IF
    SpellCast(Player4,Spell1)
    RESPONSE #100
        ActionOverride(Player2,DisplayeString(Myself,~Only the protagonist can cast this spell~)) //

END

IF
    SpellCast(Player5,Spell1)
    RESPONSE #100
        ActionOverride(Player2,DisplayeString(Myself,~Only the protagonist can cast this spell~)) //

END

IF
    SpellCast(Player6,Spell1)
    RESPONSE #100
        ActionOverride(Player2,DisplayeString(Myself,~Only the protagonist can cast this spell~)) //

END

Also, If the spell's (spell2's) effects do not depend on the caster's level of experience, you can use ApplySpellRES (instead of ReallyForceSpellRES)
