Modifying speed

[Jhalad]

I've been adding new items to the Adjust tag, and am currently working on Expeditious retreat. I'm trying to add 30 ft. of movement to a target when the spell is activated. The current code I'm using is:


~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

~ Add to our base speed.
hero.child[Speed].field[tSpeed].value += 30

I've also tried:


~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

~ Add to our base speed.
hero.child[Speed].field[tSpeedMod].value += 30

I've tried activating each of these codes at various phases with no effect. The program accepts the line of code, but nothing occurs when I activate the spell.

So, am I doing something wrong, or am I trying to do something that just isn't possible right now? Thanks for any advice.

Got it!

~ If we're in output mode, don't do anything
doneif (state.isoutput <> 0)

~ If we're not enabled, get out now
doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

~may not move
hero.child[Speed].field[tSpeed].value += 30

Any suggestions on how I get encumbrance to modify the new speed?

What phase and priority is your script at?

Encumbrance is checked early in the final phase, if I remember correctly, so if you alter [tSpeed] before then, encumbrance should modify the adjusted speed.

Normally, tSpeedMod is used, rather than tSpeed, for things like spells, that are modifiers to the speed - tSpeed is generally only set by the race itself.

In the words of Cartman... "Sweeettt!"

Yup, changing the timing from 20k to 10 worked. Thanks Mathias!

And yeah, I had to use tSpeed because Expeditious Retreat affects base speed, not speed after encumbrance.
