Increase Epic spells per/day, how to?

[Legacy_Devling]

               Is it possible to increase the Number of Epic spells that can be cast per day?
If so, can anybody tell me how?

               I think such stuff is hardcoded.
If someone more knowledgeable comes by, they might provide some better solution, but if I wanted more epic spells per day, I'd create unique power items that would do exactly the same things as the spells (just copy the spell scripts) and would be usable only by those who know the given spell.
To prevent any player from getting more spells per day (by having more than one spell-item) than you want them to have, instead of making the items themselves usable X times per time, use variables to check if the player has reached his daily limit. And make them reset upon resting.

It's only a workaround, but if nothing better is suggested, guess it's better than nothing.

               It is. I can't post the code here, but it's simple enough in principle. We track uses with variables, and the allowed number of uses with variables. When cast, if the variable indicates they have more uses remaining, you IncrementRemainingFeatUses, and send a floaty up to know how many they actually have remaining (the icon will just show the one). The variables are cleared on rest. Will post the code when I get home, if I remember.

Hm. Time to test the new forum code posting capabilities...

}

And here is the section of our rest script that handles the ruin variables:

    int nAddES;

    if (GetKnowsFeat(FEAT_EPIC_SPELL_RUIN, oPC)) {



        if (GetSkillRank(SKILL_SPELLCRAFT, oPC, TRUE) >= 50)

            nAddES++;



        if (nSub == SUBRACE_KAORTI && GetHitDiceIncludingLLs(oPC) >= 40)

            nAddES++;



        if (nAddES)

            SetLocalInt(oPC, "FeatLimit_" + IntToString(FEAT_EPIC_SPELL_RUIN), nAddES+1);

    }



    DeleteLocalInt(oPC, "FeatUsed_" + IntToString(FEAT_EPIC_SPELL_RUIN));

 

Pretty simple, once you look past the other code.

 

Also, WOOOOT for the return of real codeboxing on the bioboards! My days of passive-agressive griping about them are finally at and end. =D
