Fading spell
|
I currently have a spell trigger that kicks off when a spell fades. It's a very simple trigger, but it seems to work. What I would like is a trigger that will recast the same spell if the first attempt fails.
Sample output:
You feel your grip on the magic disappear.
What I have:
Trigger - cast 'mana shield'
If it fails I get:
You lost your concentration!
I tried this, but it doesn't work:
cast '@lastspell' @lastsay
This obvously only works for the last person who actually asks for me to spell them up.
Can anyone help me out on this issue. I took a year off from mudding and now I'm trying to get back into it.

Well, you are in the correct direction. In the trigger that casts 'mana shield', set a variable to equal that:
#VAR currspell "mana shield"
Now, create a trigger for the fail message and have it do this:
cast '@currspell'

What if I had multiple spells that I needed recast? I couldn't use a #VAR or currspell with only mana shield. What if I had multiplel spells that I might want to recast on myself after they fade. The failure message is the same for all of them, 'You lost your concentration!', but the fade messages are all different.
For example:
Your magic shield dissipates. - cast 'shield' rezo
You feel less righteous. - cast 'bless' rezo;cast 'improved bless' rezo
You feel less protected as the magical vestment vanishes. - cast 'magical vest' rezo
Can I give one variable for all these? and a repeat if fail?

Go to Carabas's website. He has a trigger system for recasting fading spells for Medievia that you may be able to change for your mud.

In this case you set up a queue by using a stringlist. You add the name of each spell that need recasting to the stringlist using the #ADDITEM command and then trigger of the fail message to cast the first spell on the stringlist and then delete the first item on the stringlist. Once the stringlist is empty, you have finished re-casting spells.

I just checked the URL I put above and he doesn't have it up. You may want to just email [url]carabas@bealenet.com[/url] and see if he can send you the script I was talking about
