Exploding creatures[G5]

[Avarakadavra]

I just have a new idea and i want some help. Especially Dikiyoba. I want to make my creatures to explode and affect nearby creatures. This is possible by editing scripts. So if anyone could help me...

[Avarakadavra]

My created creatures... When they dye i want to make them explode. And affect anyone. For example fyora or roamer...

[grasshopper]

.... or easier, play syndicate 1 and 2 instead, that functionality is pretty much already built in!

[Serene Tempest]

Pyroroamers already do this, though the results of the explosion are not that much more than you can achieve with spells. You can make them with three levels of create roamer.

[Avarakadavra]

no,i'm afraid you don't understand. i already know about pyroroamers. i want someone to help me edit scripts,to make all the creatures explode when they dye.

[vstef96]

Why would you want that anyways? I dont think youl like when a worm blows up and does 30 magic damage and kills ur creations

[Mod.]

Pyroroamer effect should be:

cr_effect_when_slain = 51;

 

Unstable creature effect is:

cr_effect_when_slain = 81;

 

I think anyway. Just look at the script for the creature you want the effect to be based on and fill in the number.

[inni]

here is a script with all the death effects i could find.

just paste it over the fyora.

 

Click to reveal..

// Begin Fyora

begindefinecreature 10; // PC created fyora

// imported for all fyora types

import = 9;

cr_name = "Shock Fyora";

cr_graphic_template = 11;

cr_max_health = 25;

cr_max_energy = 20;

cr_max_essence = 0;

//cr_natural_armor = 4;

cr_regen_rate = 2;

cr_energy_regen_rate = 2;

cr_walk_speed = 24; //base_speed;

cr_base_level = 2;

cr_creature_type = 1;

cr_sound_when_slain = 111;

cr_effect_when_slain = 63;

cr_effect_when_slain = 64;

cr_effect_when_slain = 51;

cr_effect_when_slain = 81;

 

cr_default_attitude = 1;

cr_default_strategy = 1;

cr_default_courage = 70;

 

cr_resistances 2 = 30;

 

cr_abil_num 0 = 1; // bite attack

cr_abil_level 0 = 2;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 0 = 7;

cr_abil_anim_in_reverse 0 = 1;

 

cr_abil_num 1 = 16;

cr_abil_level 1 = 4;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 1 = 7;

cr_abil_anim_in_reverse 1 = 1;

cr_abil_time_per_step 1 = 1;

cr_abil_casting_sound 1 = 157;

 

back up your saves and make sure you shaper is standing FAR back.

 

 

Edit:

this is what i used:

 

cr_effect_when_slain = 64;

 

cr_effect_when_slain = 63;

[Mod.]

Do those overlap? Wouldn't it just be effect 81, or am i wrong?

[Dikiyoba]

Two things.

 

1. Does the game still run properly with that many death effects?

 

2. See that line about how this fyora is the type imported to create all the others? Odds are, you've just made every single fyora in the game a ball of fireworks upon death with that script.

You gain an item: Heat-resistant bodysuit

[Øther]

If you are going to edit enough to do this, then you should edit yourself some armor that is, or maybe make all armor, very resistant to fire or whatever damage you take from exploding things.

the game works fine.
I think he wants every thing to expload.

your right, I tried it with GF4 and it's only one efect,
I think there might be a way they will do all efects at once but i'm to lazy to look for one.

Thanx a lot. I already know how to edit my own health. And now i must try to edit these scripts.

Another question:it's possible to give to my creatures essence and/or another magical attack? Like in avernum...maybe... Or to make an fyora to attack with essence lances or purifying rain...

[Randomizer]

Creations with range attacks like fyoras have a spell energy bar that decreases with each attack. Fyoras recharge as fast as they attack, but cryoas and others can run out in combat.

 

You can change the attack type of the creations by editing the definition line for the attack.

[Avarakadavra]

More exactly? Some examples?

[Øther]

Example. Here is the definition for a fyora.

Click to reveal..

// Begin Fyora

begindefinecreature 10; // PC created fyora

// imported for all fyora types

import = 9;

cr_name = "Fyora";

cr_graphic_template = 11;

cr_max_health = 25;

cr_max_energy = 20;

cr_max_essence = 0;

//cr_natural_armor = 4;

cr_regen_rate = 2;

cr_energy_regen_rate = 2;

cr_base_level = 2;

cr_creature_type = 1;

cr_sound_when_slain = 111;

cr_default_attitude = 1;

cr_default_strategy = 1;

cr_default_courage = 70;

 

cr_resistances 2 = 30;

 

cr_abil_num 0 = 1; // bite attack

cr_abil_level 0 = 2;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 0 = 7;

cr_abil_anim_in_reverse 0 = 1;

cr_abil_casting_sound 0 = 12;

 

cr_abil_num 1 = 16;

cr_abil_level 1 = 4;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 1 = 7;

cr_abil_anim_in_reverse 1 = 1;

cr_abil_time_per_step 1 = 1;

cr_abil_casting_sound 1 = 115;

 

Say you want to give it the podlings attack. This is the description for the podling.

Click to reveal..

begindefinecreature 67;//

// base for all podling imports

import = 9;

cr_name = "Podling";

cr_graphic_template = 98;

cr_max_health = 10;

cr_max_energy = 100;

cr_regen_rate = 4;

cr_energy_regen_rate = 4;

cr_base_level = 5;

cr_creature_type = 1;

cr_default_attitude = 4;

cr_default_strategy = 2;

cr_sound_when_slain = 244;

cr_stain_when_slain = 4;

 

cr_resistances 2 = 50;

 

cr_abil_num 0 = 86; // bite attack

cr_abil_level 0 = 2;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 0 = 8;

 

cr_abil_num 1 = 36; // weakening rain

cr_abil_level 1 = 1;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 1 = 6;

It has two attack, and lets say you only want to give the weakening rain to the fyora.

 

In the fyora, this group of lines gives it its fire attack.

cr_abil_num 1 = 16;

cr_abil_level 1 = 4;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 1 = 7;

cr_abil_anim_in_reverse 1 = 1;

cr_abil_time_per_step 1 = 1;

cr_abil_casting_sound 1 = 115;

 

You take that and replace it with the description for the podlings attack which is

cr_abil_num 1 = 36; // weakening rain

cr_abil_level 1 = 1;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 1 = 6;

 

The ending description of the fyora may look like this:

Click to reveal..

// Begin Fyora

begindefinecreature 10; // PC created fyora

// imported for all fyora types

import = 9;

cr_name = "Fyora";

cr_graphic_template = 11;

cr_max_health = 25;

cr_max_energy = 20;

cr_max_essence = 0;

//cr_natural_armor = 4;

cr_regen_rate = 2;

cr_energy_regen_rate = 2;

cr_base_level = 2;

cr_creature_type = 1;

cr_sound_when_slain = 111;

cr_default_attitude = 1;

cr_default_strategy = 1;

cr_default_courage = 70;

 

cr_resistances 2 = 30;

 

cr_abil_num 0 = 1; // bite attack

cr_abil_level 0 = 2;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 0 = 7;

cr_abil_anim_in_reverse 0 = 1;

cr_abil_casting_sound 0 = 12;

 

cr_abil_num 1 = 36; // weakening rain

cr_abil_level 1 = 1;

cr_abil_step_of_launch 1 = 6;

 

And the fyoras will now use that attack. Also editing the ability level will effect how powerful the attack is.

 

 

[Dikiyoba]

Again, if you mess with the default fyora without going in to change all the other fyora types, you're liable to give the podling attack to every single fyora in the game. That's going to be seriously unpleasant.

[Avarakadavra]

I know. But that's not permanent. I've backed up my original scripts. And when i finish to test the edited scripts for a while I'll repair back the game. Understand? And thanx Other.

[inni]

have you ever just copied and pasted,

once i was able to summon defense spires.
