Special Weapon Scripts + [ASSETS] weapons/armour/acc/herbs

akroma222 · Post by **akroma222** » Sat Nov 10, 2012 2:17 pm

Hey folks!
I have changed the name of this thread from Game Effects - life leech etc..... to Special / Magic Weapon Scripts Thread
... and now it has changed again... to include things and stuff.
I have made a few weapons scripts that will replicate the game effect of life leech (and energy leech) as well as included a script for weapons that have burst spell effects (LG's work)
Any Further weapon scripts will be added here.... and anyone else is welcome, of course, to improve/correct/add their own weapon scripts

NOTE - these scripts may well be outdated soon, if not already, by additions to asset definitions, Jkos Framework and Diarmuid's EXSP spell system.
These scripts do not utilize EXSP or Jkos Framework, but I will hopefully convert them over/make them simpler some stage soon

LIFE/ENERGY LEECH + BURST SPELL WEAPONS
This is the set up I have for life leech and burst spell weapons-

I place this in init.lua....

cloneObject{
	name = "party",
	baseObject = "party",
	onAttack = function(champion, weapon)
		return attackingWeaponScripts.specialWeaponAttacks(champion, weapon, skill) 
			
	end
}

And place this into a script entity (attackingWeaponScripts) in your dungeon
(The specialWeaponAttacks function will "sort" which weapon is being used to attack and then call other functions based on that....)

These scripts are based from Grimwold's old burn monster script (which monster/isInTable functions) and also with LordGarths script for the burst spell weapons.
Thank you again guys for your help here!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if RACE/SKILL then BUFF STAT/TRAIT WEAPONS
Marble Mouth has provided us with a code that will not allow your guy to equip the weapon if they do not have the required skill (in maces here) - this will ensure that your guy is not penalised if they remove the mace after reaching the required skill for triggering effects. Further, Marble Mouth has used some tables here to also ensure that if your guy has a trait (like tough) to begin with, equips and unequips the mace, the trait they already had will not disappear!! Good times

This is a script for a weapon that will increase strength and add the 'tough' trait if held in hand (slot 7,8) by a Minotaur-
The idea for this weapon is credited to Drakkan and the tricky scripting work was kindly provided by Marble Mouth...

This in items.lua-

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
	name = "drakkan_minotaur_mace",
	baseObject = "knoffer",
	uiName = "Drakkan_Minotaur_Mace",

	requiredLevel = 0,
	attackPower = 30,
	weight = 2.2,
	onEquipItem = function(champion, slot)
		return specialWeaponScripts.drakkanMaceEquip(champion, slot)
	end,
	onUnequipItem = function(champion, slot)
		return specialWeaponScripts.drakkanMaceUnequip(champion, slot)
	end,
	description = "A mace forged by the greatly feared drakkan minotaurs of old.",
}

And this in a a script entity ("specialWeaponScripts") in dungeon-
**although you can just as well add it to the script entity ("specialWeaponAttacks") provided above, just change it in the above item definition

EDIT^^ a couple of slight adjustments made so that if your champ is not "race" they can still equip it if they have sufficient skill

ONLY "...NAME..." ITEMS
With just a slight alteration to the above script - an item/weapon that can only be equipped by a champion
with a specified name. Credits go to Drakkan for this very useful idea...
(Name set to 'Contar Stoneskull' for ease of testing)

For items.lua:

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
		name = "stoneskull_staff",
		baseObject = "whitewood_wand",
		uiName = "Contar Stoneskull's Staff",
		model = "assets/models/items/whitewood_wand.fbx",
		description = "A staff belonging to the dazzling and dangerous Contar Stoneskull.",
		gfxIndex = 56,
		energy = 20,
		coolDownTime = 4,
		attackMethod = "meleeAttack",
                attackSwipe = "vertical",
                attackSound = "swipe_heavy",
                impactSound = "impact_blade",
		weight = 3.5,
		onEquipItem = function(champion, slot)
      			return specialNameScripts.contarstaffEquip(champion, slot)
   		end,
	}

And this paste this into a script entity ("specialNameScripts") in your dungeon:

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

function contarstaffEquip(champion, slot)
   local ordinal = champion:getOrdinal()
   local name1 = champion:getName()
   if slot == 7 or slot == 8 then
      if name1 == "Contar Stoneskull" then
         hudPrint(""..name1..":Ahh this does indeed belong to me!")
      else
      champion:removeItem(slot)
      spawn( "stoneskull_staff" , party.level , party.x , party.y , party.facing )
      playSound("item_drop")
	  hudPrint("Only Contar Stoneskull may weild this magical staff...")
     end
   end
end

CURSED ITEMS - cannot be removed
I am just providing a link here to Diarmuid's thread for items that cannot be removed (cursed if you will)
There is a version using the Jkos Framework and a version that does not.

UNARMED COMBAT WEAPONS
This is a solution for folks wanting to include custom equipment/weapons for the unarmed combat skill AND would like those items to be seen in hand and not just through the inventory.
These items actually serve as shields that you can attack with - granting an evasion bonus, an attack power bonus and also utilise the special moves learned through the unarmed combat skill.
An items.lua definition:

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

defineObject{
		name = "brass_knuckles",
		class = "Item",
		uiName = "Brass Knuckles",
		model = "assets/models/items/pit_gauntlets.fbx",
		gfxIndex = 55,
		skill = "unarmed_combat",
		requiredLevel = 5,
		attackPower = 10,
		accuracy = 0,
		evasion = 2,
		coolDownTime = 4.0,
		attackMethod = "meleeAttack",
		attackSwipe = "horizontal",
		attackSound = "swipe_heavy",
		impactSound = "impact_blunt",
		weight = 1.5,
		description = "........................................",
		shield = true,
}

These items can be given certain conditional bonuses and also be given burstspell affects etc (as seen in the above weapon scripts).
**Even though you are attacking with unarmed skill, an onAttack hook that calls a function in your dungeon will still pass the item as a weapon (whereas attacking with nothing in hand passes weapon == nil)

The nagging issue remains that - if you create a spikey gauntlet you will still be able to have equipped another real gauntlet... which may not seem too possible...

WEAPONS/ARMOUR/ITEMS - MODELS/TEXTURES/ICONS

So here are a few of the custom items from the currently available half of Labyrinth of Lies.
Some of these will match up with the above weapon scripts. There are also pieces of armour, herbs and more....
There is a pic of all the available items here in inventory (follow the link for models and textrures). In game models are fairly accurate (except for katana

)
Also available are both my current icon atlases... there are item icons here that are not yet included anywhere - feel free to use them at will
If anyone would like to make up some models for icons that have no models - I am all for it (just have not gotten around to it yet)

NOTE** - for the amulets, I have spells stuck on them as they are (with their empty amulet definitions) - you will need to find the appropriate spells, or put some other spell on them, or alter the item definition so they do not have spells attached. Same for boots of speed.

Let me know if there are any dramas here, enjoy!!

The gameEffect parameter is only for adding text to the tooltip of the item (seen when you mouse-over the item in your inventory). It does not actually add the effect to the item.
As far as I know, unfortunately, all these effects (except for tomes) are hard-coded in the game and cannot be modified in the lua script. You should probably be able to cloneObject from the assassin_dagger, however, to keep that hard-coded effect. Something like:

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
	baseObject = "assassin_dagger",
	name = "my_axe",
	class = "Item",
	uiName = "Akroma222's Axe",
	model = "assets/models/items/battle_axe.fbx",
	description = "A custom axe with leach life!",
	skill = "axes",
	requiredLevel = 10,
	gfxIndex = 86,
	attackPower = 20,
	accuracy = 0,
	coolDownTime = 5.2,
	attackMethod = "meleeAttack",
	attackSwipe = "horizontal",
	attackSound = "swipe",
	impactSound = "impact_blade",
	gameEffect = "Life Leech: Successful hit drains life from target and heals you",
	weight = 4.0,
}

Use defineObject instead of cloneObject. define the dagger, but replace the UI name and the model/icon with the axe you want,and I THINK it will replace the assassins dagger in the game with your axe, and have the leech on it, but you won't have the dagger anymore.

The only thing I managed to make is simulating Earthbound and Intense Fire for my custom spells...
I don't think something else can be be simulated for now.

Ah thanks for the pointers guys...

Unfortunately Edsploration, cloning the assassin dagger with new models/icon etc did not work (but thanks for your idea - seems like you should be able to that way right?), however, re defining the assassin dagger with different model/icon did work.... but you are right msyblade, I lost the assassin dagger (which I wish to keep) - but still handy to know!

Crisman, how did you manage to replicate the enhanced realm effects for your spells? curious....

Some of it you could hack with onAttack or maybe onUseItem, detect whether the weapon is the special one you created, then script in the effects you want. For leech life, you could script a certain percentage chance of doing some extra damage to the enemy and adding some hp to the player. It would be somewhat of a complex script, but I believe it is possible at least.

akroma222 · Post by **akroma222** » Mon Nov 12, 2012 1:22 pm

Ahh Komag!! Yes yes, I could probably adapt LordGarth's script that fires off spells if a certain weapon is being attacked with.... let me try....

akroma222 · Post by **akroma222** » Mon Nov 12, 2012 2:20 pm

OK, complex indeed... probably deluding myself if I thought I could manage this one solo..
What I have done so far (based from other scripts) is incomplete and bits I do not know how to do are [--like this--]

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
	name = "party",
	baseObject = "party",
	onAttack = function(champ, weapon)
		local heal_amount = math.random(2,4) /2	
		local character_to_heal = [--check for which champ has reaper axe--]	
		if (weapon ~= nil) and (weapon.name == "reaper_axe") and [--attack is successful--] then
			party:getChampion(character_to_heal):modifyStat("health", heal_amount)
		end
	end
}

Am I on the right track here? Really not sure on [--these--] bits..

Ok, so I have finally got a 'vampric (life leeching) weapon' script up and running!
EDIT - new script that will not drain/leech when there is no monster in front has been added - pls update

I place this in init.lua....

SpoilerShow

cloneObject{
name = "party",
baseObject = "party",
onAttack = function(champion, weapon)
return attackingWeaponScripts.specialWeaponAttacks(champion, weapon, skill)

end
}

}

And place this into a script entity (vampricScript) in your dungeon....

SpoilerShow

function specialWeaponAttacks(champion, weapon, skill)

if (weapon ~= nil) and (weapon.name == "psionic_blade") then
return attackingWeaponScripts.PsionicBlade(champion, weapon, skill)
end
if (weapon ~= nil) and (weapon.name == "reaper_axe_empty") then
return attackingWeaponScripts.ReaperAxe(champion,weapon,skill)
end
return true
end

monstersList = {"amber_slime","ancient_horde","ancient_warrior","bone_slime","crab","crowern","cube","dark_elf_temple_skeleton_archer","dark_elf_temple_skeleton_archer_patrol","exotic_crab_purple","dark_elf_temple_skeleton_warrior","dark_elf_temple_skeleton_patrol","goromorg","green_lizard","green_slime","herder","herder_big","herder_small","herder_swarm","high_elf_temple_skeleton_archer","high_elf_temple_skeleton_archer_patrol","high_elf_temple_skeleton_warrior","high_elf_temple_skeleton_patrol","ice_slime","isgardian","laguardian","liche","maggot_slime","ogre","red_slime","scavenger","scavenger_swarm","shrakk_torr","skeleton_archer","skeleton_archer_patrol","skeleton_patrol","skeleton_warrior","slug","snail","spider","spider_dark_orange","spider_red","stone_slime05","stone_slime06","stone_slime10","stone_slime11","tentacles","trash_slime","uggardian","urgardian","venom_wyvern","warden","warden_exploding","water_slime","wyvern"}

----You will need to alter your monstersList to reflect only the monsters you are running in your mod-----

vamp_monster = ""

function isInMonsterTable(table, element)
for _,value in pairs(table) do
if value == element then
return true
end
end
return false
end

function whichMonster(level,eggs,why)
for i in entitiesAt(level,eggs,why) do
if isInMonsterTable(monstersList,i.name) then
return i.id
end
end
return ""
end

----------------------Vampric weapons------------------------------------------------
function ReaperAxe(champion,weapon,skill)
local dx,dy = getForward(party.facing)
vamp_champ = champion
vamp_monster = whichMonster(party.level,party.x+dx,party.y+dy)
if vamp_monster == "" then
hudPrint("There's no monster here to drain...")
return true
end
local skill = champion:getSkillLevel("axes")
party:playScreenEffect("damage_screen")
vamp_champ:modifyStat("health", (skill/3))
return true
end

--------------------Syphon weapons---------------------------
function PsionicBlade(champion,weapon,skill)
local dx,dy = getForward(party.facing)
syph_champ = champion
vamp_monster = whichMonster(party.level,party.x+dx,party.y+dy)
if vamp_monster == "" then
hudPrint("There's no monster here to drain...")
return true
end
local skill = champion:getSkillLevel("swords")
party:playScreenEffect("damage_screen_blue")
syph_champ:modifyStat("energy", (skill/2))
return true
end

---------------------------------------------------------------

This script is largely based from Grimwold's burn monster/(and Akroma's) smite undead/recharge item spell scripts...
Thank you again Grimwold... altering your script examples keeps me feeling like I'm half way descent at this

EDIT - script changed (old version gained you health/energy regardless of whether you hit a monster) - new version works fine now (I hope)

Nice to see you got this to work, congrats!
