Magic Effects without a set duration

[lordbevan1]

I'm looking to make a mod which adds a ring that creates the sanctuary effect for 1 to 120 seconds. Is that possible? I'd imagine it requires a script.

If you want the ring to give the sanctuary effect on use, you don't need any script.

I want the duration to be within the range of 1 second to 120 seconds, like how magnitude can fall between a range of values, but you can't do that using the normal tab.

My bad http://image.jeuxvideo.com/smileys_img/55.gif you're right about the floating duration.

 

I don't know if it's possible through a script though. :-(

This is possible through scripting. It could look something like this.

 

Your ring would have a script

If ( OnPCEquip == 1 ) ;This means the Player equipped it
  StartScript MyRandomSanctuarySpellScript
Endif

And then the other script

Begin MyRandomSanctuarySpellScript

Short RandomValue
Short DoOnce

Float TimePassed

If ( DoOnce == 0 )
  Set RandomValue to Random, 121 ;This sets a value between 1 and 120
  Set DoOnce to 1
Endif

Set TimePassed to ( TimePassed + GetSecondsPassed ) ;This constantly keeps time

If ( Player->GetSpell "my_sanctuary_spell" == 0 )
  Player->AddSpell "my_sanctuary_spell"
Endif

If ( TimePassed > RandomValue ) ;The random time limit has been reached
  If ( Player->GetSpell "my_sanctuary_spell" == 1 )
    Player->RemoveSpell "my_sanctuary_spell"
    Set DoOnce to 0
    StopScript MyRandomSanctuarySpellScript
  Endif
Endif
  
If ( Player->HasItemEquipped "my_sanctuary_ring" == 0 ) ;Player took the ring off
  Player->RemoveSpell "my_sanctuary_spell"
  Set DoOnce to 0
  StopScript MyRandomSanctuarySpellScript
Endif

End

I would like for the ring to actually have a charge that's used tho, but this is a great 1st step!

begin sanctuary1_120Script



short state

float timer



if ( MenuMode )

    return

endif



if ( state )

    if ( timer > 0 )

        set timer to ( timer - GetSecondsPassed )

        return

    endif

    set state to 0

    player->RemoveSpell "lb1Sanctuary120"

    player->RemoveSpellEffects "lb1Sanctuary120"

endif



if ( player->GetSpellEffects "lb1Sanctuary120" )

    set state to 1

    set timer to Random 1000 ; 0 <= timer <= 999

    set timer to ( timer * 0.120 ) ; 0 <= timer <= 119

    set timer to ( timer + 1 ) ; 1 <= timer <= 120

endif



end
