               Hello! I'm trying to script warlocks for my module. What I wanted to do was just use the bard class, as warlock. Just as the server Arelith does. I am not sure how to script the eldritch abilities though. Heres what I know...

The warlock powers come off a item that the warlock is given when choosing a pact. They are then able to shoot beams out of the staff from casting the spell Ray of Frost from the staff. What I need to know is how I get the Ray of Frost to behave like warlock eldritch rays, doing the 1d6 more damage on odd levels.

Eventually I would like to have it like Arelith has, on a certain level get a chain beam where you can hit multiple enemies with one blast. Thanks!

               I've figured out some of this. I was able to script for when warlock's level up they get the spells. (discplacement, ray of frost, etc.) But now I just need to have it so when they use the warlock ray of frost from the staff, it will do the damage (1d6/2 levels from level 1) and that only ray of frost from warlock staffs will do it. Along with the nice beam vfx instead of the cold one.

               You need to edit nw_s0_rayfrost.nss script. Example here:
http://pastebin.com/QqT3frRw
When you compile the script and cast ray of frost from item with "warlock_staff" tag it will trigger "eldritch blast". It's just a sample - you should tweak it the way you like.

               Worked fantastic! I tried the same thing with two other scripts and am having some trouble though..

My script for call lightning overriden.. Trying to get it to do d8 damage/2 levels and do fire strike animations on all the enemies, it compiles but just does regular spell.

               You said it compiled but still calls the regular spell? Did you compile it under a different name? Did you have the call ingame call the new name?

Legacy_Kingdom_Of_Hearts · « **Reply #5 on:** June 13, 2012, 02:48:45 pm »

The names are the same.. Though I don't understand your last quesiton. Thanks! '<img

               Could you check if this script works for you?
http://pastebin.com/uZRDtZhr
it's for summon creature I - when cast from item with 'warlock_staff' tag it will summon creature with 'WARLOCKMIN1' resref.

Legacy_Alex Warren · « **Reply #9 on:** June 15, 2012, 04:47:33 pm »

               yes, it should be
effect eSummon = EffectSummonCreature("WARLOCKMIN1");
instead of
eSummon = EffectSummonCreature("WARLOCKMIN1");
sorry

Change Line   39 to :

eSummon = EffectSummonCreature("NW_S_badgerdire");

On line 29 add :
effect eSummon;

Problem is, it's hitting all the time no matter what. I'm trying to get the beam only hit on ranged touch attacks. Help please?

Legacy_ffbj · « **Reply #13 on:** March 15, 2013, 04:03:27 am »

               What is the ranged touch and ac of the target?
What is the value of:
int nTouch = TouchAttackRanged(oTarget);
?

you could add the true parameter and see if you get any feedback:
// The caller will perform a Ranged Touch Attack on oTarget
// * Returns 0 on a miss, 1 on a hit and 2 on a critical hit
int TouchAttackRanged(object oTarget, int bDisplayFeedback=TRUE)

Legacy_WhenTheNightComes · « **Reply #14 on:** March 15, 2013, 02:06:18 pm »

               Still didn't work, and somehow the beam has switched to the original ray of frost. Help, anyone?
