How does work combat magic (passive)

[algun]

Combat Magic have a passive part to use magic attribute to satisfy the strength requirement to equip items.

 

It's not in the abi_base.xls (I think) and i don't find the script who do that

 

Can someone explain how it works?

[algun]

No reply. Ok

 

I try to explain my problem by another way. I want make a talent to use cunning attribute to satisfy the strength requirement to equip items

 

Thanks

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. Not only was I also unable to figure out how this is done by looking at any of the spell scripts or ABI_base.2da, but in ABI_base you actually have to define whether an ability is passive, active or toggled; it should be impossible to have an ability that is both passive and toggled.

 

My guess is that the jackasses set up a core gameplay script somewhere to change the strength requirement to magic if you possess Combat Magic. The same script that says you need strength to equip a weapon or armor.

From what I've found, I believe this is the same way they got Blood Magic to convert all mana use to health.

 

I wanted to do something similar as well, and I'd be fine with having it only work when the ability is on if only I could figure out what sort of code was used.

I thought in ABI_base.2da you could have activated abilities that conferred a passive benefit by creating a passive ability and sticking its ID into the 'passiveid' column of the base ability page. I mean, there are lots of abilities that are activated but confer passive benefits in dragon age, like Shale's powers for example.
