Custom Magic Ring

[Dgrm44]

How do I add a custom cursed -2 Int ring to a PC?

Do you mean creating it or equiping it?

to create it you would need to open the editor and create the ring.

To equip it you just need to click the small square radio button next to the ring when it appears in your Magic Items list.

What is this editor you speak of good sir?

Tools menu...Launch Editor

 

[chiefweasel]

if you go to the tools menu and select editor, it will launch a program that lets you make edits, or add anything you want for use within HL. for instance you can make magic items, spells, minions, really anything. its how all the user content is created.

That is awesome! I will have to read the help file on this.

That is awesome! I will have to read the help file on this.

For learning the Editor and the scripting language the most useful tool is the ability to do a New(Copy) of other things. So in this case their are other Cursed Items already in HL you can look at their scripts.

Their are Adjustments that can change an ability score value up/down. So using New(Copy) from within the editor will let you look at how existing things are created and done.

Much easier when first learning to just copy/paste and make some changes then write from scratch. Also the search Forum feature on this board is VERY good and lots and lots of scripts/examples has Mathias put on these boards. So that is another great place to learn from.

I digged that post, but I have a basic question about ring. How come I can't Add a custom ring as for the Potion, the scrolls, the wands.
I would like to give a +5 or +10 UMD to my familiar, but it seem we can't do that without using the editor. I am wrong?,

I found my answer... The only Costum magic item are the one we can add spell on them.
I then new (copy) the ring of climbing and change clmibic for Use magic devices.


if (field[gIsEquip].value <> 0) then
#competencebonus[hero.childfound[skUseMagic], 5]
endif

I have used this thread to help me a lot. But now I am stuck.

I have made the ring but every time at select it for my charactor it ask me to choose which equipment slot to use?

How do I set it up so it automaticly is a ring slot and not for the charactor to choose ?
