Arcane Wizard

[Legacy_Master Jax]

               So, I've asked this to some builders, modders and contributors, and I certainly opened topics on the matter, but I want to be 100% sure it isn't possible, so, here it goes again:

Is there a way for any other class (besides the Arcane Archer) to have a functional Hail of Arrows Feat?

One may add the feat via console or Leto, but it just won't work, the same as many other feats specific to a class. So, is there a chance that I may "activate" such feats with any other classes? Maybe by doing some .2da editing or something like that?

               Have you checked the PRC, to see if they have done something with this?

               As far as I know PRC didn't modified Hail of Arrow ability.

Sure, but you'll have to modify x1_s2_hailarrow.nss script - it searches specifically for Arcane Archer levels so it won't work for other classes, but that's easy to change '>

               Hmmm...the Archer doesn't have hail of arrows?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Alex Warren]

               You mean PRC base class Archer? It's no longer in PRC - there is a Bowman class now '>

Can't find x1_s2_hailarrow.nss file in PRC haks, so it's using default (and default works only for AA).

It is? What part should I change? I thought it would have a class_TYPE_ config, similar to other scripts I've modified via the toolset, but there isn't. Should I just change every "ArcaneArcher" instance? Could you elaborate a bit on that, Alex? You may have just nailed the issue!

               Changing

int nLevel = GetLevelByclass(class_TYPE_ARCANE_ARCHER, OBJECT_SELF);

to

int nLevel = GetLevelByclass(class_TYPE_ARCANE_ARCHER, OBJECT_SELF)
                       + GetLevelByclass(class_TYPE_SORCERER, OBJECT_SELF)
                       + GetLevelByclass(class_TYPE_WIZARD, OBJECT_SELF);

should enable wizards and sorcerers to use hail of arrows (you'll have to modify cls_feat_*.2da files for those classes and add the feat there with OnMenu set to 1)

               I think the problem with this feat used by other class is that it doesnt show up in radial menu. To do this you must modify each class' cls_feat_*.2da and allow it there.

EDIT: Right just found out Alex also told you this... Now at least you know why.

               Actually, Hail of arrows is supposed to be a passive feat, right? So there should be no problem. I mean, it is, right?

On the other hand, Wow Wow Wow, Alex... slow down a minute... there are no class_TYPE instances in my x1_s2_hailarrow.nss script! Are the changes you mentioned supposed to go in the cls_feat.2da?

               No, Hail of Arrows is active feat.

This is how my x1_s2_hailarrow.nss look like (NWN Diamond, 1.69, SoU, HotU)

               This is really embarrassing, Alex, but, if you check your SOU scripts via the NWN Explorer, I swear to you the script has no class_TYPE instances. And then, I checked the HOTU scripts, and there it is! See, I'm not mad! I'M NOT MAD! Thanks for helping!
