[LE] Need some help with a custom spell.

On effect start
Target.ModActorValue("health", 100) ; or what ever your damage% would be. 


On effect finish 
Target.RestoreActorValue("health", 100) ; or what ever your damage% would be.
Target.ModActorValue("health", - 100) ; or what ever your damage% would be.

That's simple. I'll give it a whirl.

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
akTarget.ModActorValue("health", 100) ; or what ever your damage amount would be. 
EndEvent

Event OnEffectFinish(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
akTarget.RestoreActorValue("health", 100) ; or what ever your damage amount would be.
akTarget.ModActorValue("health", - 100) ; or what ever your damage amount would be.

EndEvent

That's simple. I'll give it a whirl.

 

 

You would replace 100 with the amount of damage for the spell to dispel not %.

I gathered as much.

Just FYI, you don't really need a script to fortify, theres a effect archetype for that, but of course, is a way to practice scripting.

[Masterofnet]

Here you go Freaky Frank. I redid your script to show you what I was talking about earlier. However all this script does is basically fortify health so it would probably be better to just do that. I also have some other concerns as well.

Scriptname InvincibleSpell extends activemagiceffect  

Float Property SpellBaseHP = 100.0 Auto
String Property ActorValue = "Health" Auto
Float Property UpdateSpeed = 0.2 Auto

Actor Target
Float HealthCurrent
Float HealthPercent
Float HealthToHeal
Float SpellHP

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
	Target = akTarget
	SpellHP = SpellBaseHP
	RegisterForSingleUpdate(UpdateSpeed)
EndEvent

Event OnUpdate()
	If (SpellHP > 0.0)
		HealthPercent = Target.GetAVPercentage(ActorValue)
		If (HealthPercent < 1.0)
			HealthCurrent = Target.GetActorValue(ActorValue)
			HealthToHeal = ((HealthCurrent / HealthPercent) - HealthCurrent)
			If HealthToHeal > SpellHP
				HealthToHeal = SpellHP
			Endif
			Target.RestoreActorValue(ActorValue, HealthToHeal)
			SpellHP -= HealthToHeal
		Endif
                RegisterForSingleUpdate(UpdateSpeed)
	Else
		self.Dispel()
	Endif
EndEvent

"Frank, Some advice. Do not define something outside an event unless you have to and do not define something unless you have to use it more than once in the same event. Also did you consider using while as opposed to regiseterforsingleupdate?"

Scriptname InvincibleSpell extends activemagiceffect  

Float Property SpellBaseHP = 100.0 Auto
Float Property w = 1.0 Auto

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
Float Heal
Float HealthCurrent = akTarget.GetActorValue("Health")

  While SpellBaseHP > 0.0		   
  Heal = HealthCurrent - akTarget.GetActorValue("Health")
    If Heal > 0.0
      SpellBaseHP = SpellBaseHP - Heal
      akTarget.RestoreActorValue("Health", Heal)
    Endif
      Utility.Wait(w)
  EndWhile
    Dispel()
EndEvent

Hey cool. I'm still working on that spell. Sorry to bug you again, but how would I add a cooldown to that? I've looked it up in various places one said to use a script, other said to use global variables, and another said to use conditions and stuff. Is there a clean easy way to do it? As it is now you can use that spell as much as you want... that's a little unbalanced. I couldn't get the other three things to work. Can't really find any reliable info on it. Cooldowns truly were overlooked in skyrim. I obviously don't wanna make it a shout.

 

I imagine using utlility.wait would come into play. Could be wrong.

You could make it a greater power. That would only allow it to be used once a day. Why don't you check out the greater powers in the kit and see how they are gated to only work once a day. You may be able to set up your spell to work twice a day or whatever you feel is best.

Freaky frank?

 

First of all, master of ego, what is wrong with you? Calm down and behave like a normal person please. All this advices and corrections of yours, being wise comes first, not the other way around.

 

Second, no, it's not fortify, i believe i've explained it already.

 

Third, rethink the math please, it's pretty easy, i can explain if you need. Your "script correction" is simply wrong (as in: it fails to achieve its goal) you are healing the difference with the current health the player had when casting it instead of maximum health, which is pure nonsense. And the while loop is a messy way to do it with zero benefits over the one i did. You can check EnaiSiaion's scripts for example and you'll find a similar structure, it's not just me. And as said, putting those two variable definitions within the event is meaningless.

 

Seriously, you are trying too hard. There is nothing wrong with my script no matter how hard you try to proof yourself over other people, inferiority complex or what? And this crusade of yours doesn't help the OP, for what my script was meant to achieve, it apparently works and it's perfectly fine, no need to overthink it. Scripting is not about using less lines, shorter variable names, messy structures that appear more compact and removing functionality to save variables.

 

------------------------------------------------

 

I wouldn't recommend cooldown as a mean of balancing spells, better (and easier) to do it with the casting cost.

Frank , whatever planet you are on I hope it's nice there. "You can lead a Frank to water but you can not make them drink."

 

What is wrong with Freaky Frank?

[FrankFamily]

What is wrong is the same that is wrong with your silly new sentence, your lack of respect, almost as big as your lack of knowledge. I happen to live on planet earth, in which knowledge doesn't come from boasting, rules in your pink cloud are surely different. I'd suggest you got off it and learned something.
