Casting with staffs...

Post by Poi »

Hey how do you set it so mages can cast spells with staffs in thier hand? I checked out pkg>systems>combat>itemdesk and added "blockcastingwhileinhand 0" (or whatever its called) to all the staffs, and it didnt work, so i tried 1, it didnt work, and ive tried without the lkine.. didnt work, any ideas?

Look at spellRestrictions.inc in \pol\scripts\include

Look for this function:

Code: Select all

function can_cast(who)
  var hand1 := (GetEquipmentByLayer(who, 1));
  var hand2 := (GetEquipmentByLayer(who, 2));
  if(hand1)
    if(hand1.graphic != 0x0efa)
      SendSysMessage(who,"You can't cast spells with things in your hands.", 3, 40);
      return 0;
    endif
  endif
  if(hand2)
    if(hand2.graphic != 0x0efa)
      SendSysMessage(who,"You can't cast spells with things in your hands.", 3, 40);
      return 0;
    endif
  endif
  return 1;
endfunction
The way I made casting with staves in hand was just to insert a return 1; after the function definition. So basically the function does nothing but return with a "yes" value. To be more proper you can search the entire file for all calls to can_cast and comment them out. But I cheated.
