Help to Create Item Power Granting 1/Day Spell

Hey all,

My question is basically the title. I am trying to create an Item Power for armor that allows you to cast two spells once per day.

Since Item Power does not have a Castable Spells option, I'm completely at a loss as for what to do. I attempted to copy the Bootstrap and Gizmo that are on Celestial Armor that allow you to cast fly, but I'm not sure about what to put in the gizmo bootstrap, or if that would even work in the first place.

Would appreciate your help.

I believe the Titanic item power lets you cast a spell once per day? Maybe check into that?

Unfortunately I don't own the Ultimate Equipment pack, so I cannot peek into the code. :/

Edit: Additionally, I'm not even sure that this would allow the spell to show up in the Spells tab, or just grant you associated buffs, activated through the Activated Abilities.

If you can look in Skull & Shackles, I know that the Mariner's Eyepatch that my Gunslinger has gives castings of three spells once a day, and it shows up on the Spells tab.

Thanks. Once again, a wondrous item in the editor allows for "castable spells". Unfortunately, an Item Power does not. Celestial Armor is a more direct comparison, except it too is considered to be a magic armor, and not an item power.

You need to look at the "bootstraps" on the wondrous item directly. Just because the editor does not have a special "button" section setup for spells does not mean the logic does not work. So look at the eye patch again and press "Bootstraps" button to see this:

This is where you setup the logic to get the spells to display. Copy the tags and "fields" to setup your new spells the same way.

So you are 99% here now but the last piece of the puzzle is really advanced and without being told it would be hard to know. You have to add an additional tag called "Helper.Shadow" (and no this has nothing to do with my forum name) . This is needed because custom armor is a this thing called a Gizmo. So with out Helper.Shadow your Spell gets put on the armor instead of your Hero.

So follow that and boom you have a item power that gives a spell 1/day. Attached is also a user file with a single item power called " xXXXX" that shows this in a working example.

Shadowchemosh,

I look at it more as a another happy community member! I don't work for LW or any get any financial impact from "customers".

But I like the software allot and so it gets my support. And often happy community members have turned into a new "editors" and added things to the community packages. So I do have a sneaky underlying self-fulling need for helping.

We certainly appreciate all your support, ShadowChemosh.
