Adding 'Custom Wand' variant
All right, so wands are spell-trigger items; to use the wand, you have to have the spell it uses in your class list. Well, I want to create a 'clacker', virtually identical to a wand, but which is use-activated - you squeeze it, with the business end pointed at (or pressed against) your target, and boom, there you go. Instead of a x750gp multiplier, it would have a x1000gp multiplier (x2000 for use-activated, x1/2 for 50 charges).
Now, I know how do this in the editor on a case-by-case basis; what I'm looking to discover is whether or not there's a way to create a blank in the editor for use. It would be virtually identical to the custom wand gizmo, the only difference being the GP multiplier. Any suggestions? |
Technically the answer is "yes" you can do this but you would need to write the Gizmo from scratch in XML. This is not something that can be built in the editor and is a very advanced feature of HL. Not something I would recommend anyone starting with.
For something easier you may wish to look at the dorje from Ultimate Psionics in the 3PP Pack which is a type of wand but for Psionic Powers. Its not as cool as the Wand gizmo but allot easier to work with. |
Hm. Considering the fact that really, there's only one or two bits of information that need to be changed - where-ever it says '750' in relation to GP, change to '1000' - is the XML for custom wands available anywhere?

Here is the XML
Code:

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. (And a god of Hero Lab, but you knew that already. ;) )

(Later ...)
Hm. Darn. While it loads just fine (which is to be expected), the cost multiplier isn't accessable there and, I expect, is another gizmo that'd have to be added / edited / modified to fit with the clacker wand variant. Gaah. Ah, well. Would love the info, Aaron, if you feel like helping. :P :) In return, though, I'd certainly put up the modification. ;) For what that's worth. :P :) |
First calculate how much more this version of item should cost, then:
Final 26000 Code:
gizmo.child[CustWand].field[abValue].value += THEDIFFERENCEINCOST |
Very cool, could I ask for the xml for scrolls please? I always wanted to do the Spell App from the Modern Path. I messed with the above script and can't seem to get rid of the 50 charges. Spells Apps are 1 one shot like a scroll.
Thank you. |
