Setting scripts

[ozzgarth]

I was just wondering how I could script an item so that when it's equipped then it would change a game setting eg. (fabsorbmovespeed)

Any help would be appreciated :D

IIRC, the safest way to do it is to create an ability with a script effect which makes the modification on ScriptEffectStart and undoes is on ScriptEffectFinish, then a second script adds/removes it from the wielder:

 

SCN ... ;Ability script -> Magic Effect script

float OldVal

Begin ScriptEffectStart
set OldVal to fabsorbmovespeed
set fabsorbmovespeed to ....  ;**Enter new value here**
end

Begin ScriptEffectFinish
set fabsorbmovespeed to OldVal
end

 

SCN ... ;Item script -> Object script

Begin OnEquip Player
addspell ... ;ObjectID of ability
end

Begin OnUnEquip Player
removespell ... ;ObjectID of ability
end

 

Baring minor syntax/function name errors, that should pretty much handle what you're after.
