Help with Chaos spell creation


Recommended Posts

I"m trying to create a spell similar to the Chaos enchantment. I'd like it to be a concentration spell that has a chance to do fire, frost or shock damage every 1 second, with the possibility for 1, 2 or 3 types to trigger every tick. I have created a spell, but currently it does all 3 types of damage constantly. I have zero experience with scripting, which I assume this will need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Update: So I believe I have this working as intended, and no scripting required. I'll give a small synopses of what I did in hopes it might help others.

 

Initially I had created a spell using all of the magic effects from Flames, Frostbite and Sparks. As stated previously, this would apply all those damages at the same time. What I missed when I originally looked at the chaos damage enchant was there were conditions put in the magic effect for each of the damage types. In conditions there was a "Get Random Percentage" condition with an "<=" and a value of "50". I made a copy of the magic effects for flames, frostbite and sparks and added this condition to those copies. I then used the copied (and renamed) effects in the spell. The only way I know of to check to see if it was working was to hit a target with the spell for one second. Doing so on multiple enemies it did appear the fire effect (which is the most obvious visually) didn't always proc.

 

If anyone knows of a better way to test this, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll leave it as is and hope any future readers of this post might find some value in it.
