SCRIPT: showing some tlc to zombies with scripts

[Mishkax]

nevermind,that script i just posted is apparently a complete mess and wont compile,it wont let me use scripteffectstart,and its saying those three values i tryed to use dont exist

[Mishkax]

ScriptName Abomination

float fHandHealthMax
float fHandHealthMin
float fBuoyancyWater

Begin GameMode ScriptEffectStart

SetNumericGameSetting fHandHealthMin 100
SetNumericGameSetting fHandHealthMax 115
SetNumericGameSetting fBuoyancyWater  -1.000
Player.PlayMagicShaderVisuals ZombieRot 30

	TriggerHitShader 5



End

ok this compiled finally but it will not show up in script effect for the magic spells and the like,and that is the sole purpose of this script

[Mishkax]

welp,im at my wits end,i give up,unless someone can figure out whats wrong or i get a flash of insight i think this little mini spell project is doomed

 

[Mishkax]

wait,i got it,finally ffound the script type button,lulz

Ahh. Cool. :)

 

Theres 3 types of scripts after all and the type must be set... ;)

• Object Scripts runs every frame
• Quest scripts runs with a timer which is set in a variable if it is not set, quests runs every 5s if I recall right.
• Spells must be minimum 1s long
  • start ones
  • Middle runs every 0.2s it seems and 5 turns for 1s
  • end runs ones

I usually just use Scripteffectfinish in my spells, but it all depends what a spell is made for. Often I just want it to trigger a quest and then it is best to let the spell fire off first and when it is done, first then I make the change.

check this out,praxis putridum works flawlessly. i tested it out,with it on she sinks like a rock in water,and her punches hit with the force of a freight train during the 30 seconds that its on

 

 

[Mishkax]

there are still some strange bugs though. the custom effect shader i made for the spell,i intended for the particles to be like the ghost effect particles,except green

 

there white and seem to form a haze around her

 

and i cant get the hitshader to last for more than a half second,how do i fix that?

I did some compare between different effects and one thing that differs between a timed effect and constant effect seems to be the drop down menu called Z Test Function. But you want the effect to last 30s right? I am not an expert at all on effects, but try that drop down and change it from Normal to Always Show and see what happens.

 

Try to find a similar effect that has a timer similar to yours, compare it with other effects as well and see what differ between them.
