Speedmult spell

[Mattiewagg]

Is it possible to have an aura spell that halves the speedmult of NPCs entering that aura's radius, or does this not work?

I think it's possible yes. I mean I can sort of see how you'd have to do it, but I think it would be quite complicated also. But, I don't think I'm skilled enough to be able to do it yet though lol, but I'm pretty sure it can be done. :)

(not 100% positive though, so don't take my word as fact :P )

Hmm. So maybe possible. On another note, how is Night Eye done how it lasts for a set amount of time but you can also toggle it on/off in that time period?

Hm, well.. It uses a very complicated (at least to me) script :P There are two magic effects and two spells for it - nighteye and nighteye'dispel' (something like that anyway), and I guess like with the script when it registers a key press the dispel spell is cast, so stopping it, otherwise it continues until the timer's done. Here's the script so you can take a look:

An aura that slows NPCs who enter should be no problem.

My spell creator says that it's not working for some reason. Apparentky speedmult changing of NPCs entering he aura doesn't do anything.

[lofgren]

Speed is only recalculated when the actor's animation changes or their inventory weight is recalculated, so you have to add a script that places a non-weightless item into the target's inventory when the effect starts and removes it when the effect ends. Other possible solutions might be modifying the carryweight actor value, or I'm pretty sure (though I haven't tested it) adding a stagger effect to the spell would also work.

Thanks!

Apparently it doesn't work:

 

 

I've tried several ways that others reported fixed it and scripting the slow entirely, nothing seems to work. I even tried adding to the inventory weight and removing it at effect end with a separate slow script.

The two scripts he attempted:

 

Spell duration/toggle script -- THIS works

Slowfix script (speedmult) -- THIS does not

Fixed. The effect was reversed so the area was on (apparently). Working perfect now.
