Howdo you create a spell?, Similar to Find Familiar Options

[blackdevil0742]

Hi

Like lots of people I've been playing Badlur's Gate 2 for so long and I still ove it. I've downloaded mods but now I want to do stuff I want in the game. So what I wish is to create a spell similar to the Find Familiar but I want it to summon a Winter Wolf(and make it stay/follow me like the other do). I have NI (didn't find a working link to the other tool) and I've exported some of the files that the Find Familiar(based on the cat) spell uses.

FAMCAT.BAM <cat img
FAMCAT.CRE
SPWI123.SPL <find familiar spell
SPWI123C.BAM <spell icon

Now I have no clue how and what to edit in those files.

I tried though. What I did first was to copy some of the stuff the FAMCAT.CRE into a copy of the winter wolf .CRE file(I think I managed to do it right).

Now how do I get a spell to summon this creature and also how do I export/import the images in the .BAM file?

Yes...my suggestion was to just replace one of the creatures in my Familiar spell. Link in my sig...downloads section.

A lot of work to get it working otherwise.

Another thing you have to think of with the script...you shouldn't use the creatures script nor InMyArea() because if Player1 is not in your area it is unlikely your script will be running to move the global object!

Best if this is just a check for the familiar itself and is placed in baldur.bcs.

As it turns out, the script works properly for everything but cut scene transitions.

And I'm not sure a DPlayer3.BCS addition to check for the companion and move it to Player1 works properly, I'd have to re-check.
