I am planning to add an underwater area to my module, however I am having some problems making potions of water breathing. I made the potions, and then I gave them the property: cast spell: unique power self only. I made some tag based scripts to run when the potions were activated. The tag script I made is an on activate script. It uses variables to determine when to run the damage script.
The damage script I made is an on enter script that does damage if the player has not drank a potion. However the potions did not work at all. There were no visual effects, and I took damage when entering the area trigger. I tried making a new item that wasn't a potion, and it worked fine.
My question is: How do I get an activate item script to work with a potion?
These are the scripts I used. I know using two scripts for activate item is not very efficient, but that is the way I know for now.
The event script:
#include "x2_inc_switches"
void main()
{
int nEvent =GetUserDefinedItemEventNumber();
switch (nEvent)
{
case X2_ITEM_EVENT_ACTIVATE:
ExecuteScript("ac_"+GetTag(GetItemActivated()),
OBJECT_SELF); break;
case X2_ITEM_EVENT_EQUIP:
ExecuteScript("eq_"+GetTag(GetPCItemLastEquipped()),
OBJECT_SELF); break;
case X2_ITEM_EVENT_UNEQUIP:
ExecuteScript("ue_"+GetTag(GetPCItemLastUnequipped())
, OBJECT_SELF); break;
case X2_ITEM_EVENT_ACQUIRE:
ExecuteScript("aq_"+GetTag(GetModuleItemAcquired()),
OBJECT_SELF); break;
case X2_ITEM_EVENT_UNACQUIRE:
ExecuteScript("ua_"+GetTag(GetModuleItemLost()),
OBJECT_SELF); break;
case X2_ITEM_EVENT_SPELLCAST_AT:
ExecuteScript("sp_"+GetTag(GetModuleItemLost()),
OBJECT_SELF); break;
case X2_ITEM_EVENT_ONHITCAST:
ExecuteScript("on_"+GetTag(GetSpellCastItem()),
OBJECT_SELF); break;
}
}
This is my potion script. It adds a spell immunity so that it will show an icon to show that the potion effects are still active.
void main()
{
object oPC;
oPC = GetItemActivator();
int nInt;
nInt = GetLocalInt(oPC, "sot_waterbreath");
nInt += 1;
SetLocalInt(oPC, "sot_waterbreath", nInt);
object oTarget;
oTarget = oPC;
effect eEffect;
eEffect = EffectSpellImmunity(SPELL_COMBUST);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eEffect, oTarget, 180.0f);
//Visual effects can't be applied to waypoints, so if it is a WP
//the VFX will be applied to the WP's location instead
nInt = GetObjectType(oTarget);
if (nInt != OBJECT_TYPE_WAYPOINT) ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_SMOKE_PUFF), oTarget);
else ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_SMOKE_PUFF), GetLocation(oTarget));
nInt = GetLocalInt(oPC, "sot_waterbreath");
nInt -= 1;
DelayCommand(180.0, SetLocalInt(oPC, "sot_waterbreath", nInt));
}
This is the script I used to cause damage to the player when not drinking a potion. There is a helm of water breathing too, which works fine, but it is a quest item and will not always be available. I made this script as an on enter script to test the items, however I think a heartbeat script for the area would be a better idea.
void main()
{
object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;
if (GetTag(GetItemInSlot(INVENTORY_SLOT_HEAD, oPC)) == "sot_WaterBreathHelm")
return;
if (GetLocalInt(oPC, "sot_waterbreath")!= 0)
return;
effect eEffect;
eEffect = EffectDamage(100, DAMAGE_TYPE_DIVINE, DAMAGE_POWER_ENERGY);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, oPC);
object oTarget;
oTarget = oPC;
//Visual effects can't be applied to waypoints, so if it is a WP
//the VFX will be applied to the WP's location instead
int nInt;
nInt = GetObjectType(oTarget);
if (nInt != OBJECT_TYPE_WAYPOINT) ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_PULSE_WATER), oTarget);
else ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_PULSE_WATER), GetLocation(oTarget));
FloatingTextStringOnCreature("You are drowning!", oPC);
}
I made these scripts with the script generator, so there is probably some things that are not needed. Will these scripts work with potions, or should I just use items instead? I could not make an area heartbeat script with the script generator, so I could use some help with that.
I also encountered a problem with them not working in combat. Is it possible to modify the scripts to bypass the module on activate item script?
I looked at some of the script tutorials, but none of them mentioned potions or area heartbeat scripts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
