New page

"Spells" may be many things, from an ability, an item property, to an actual [[Spell]].

Creating a spell typically starts with adding a new row to the relevant [[2DA]] file. See the [[spells.2da]] information for specifics for each column.

== Impact Script ==
The value of the ''ImpactScript'' column is the name of the script that will fire when this spell is triggered. The [[acr_spells_i.nss]] library contains many useful functions for defining spells.

A typical impact script will follow this shell:
<pre>// Required includes.
#include "acr_spells_i"

// The entry point for our spell impact script.
void main() {
// Precast event. Required to return TRUE to proceed.
if ( !ACR_PrecastEvent() ) return;

// Get who is casting the spell.
object oCaster = OBJECT_SELF;

// Get who or what they are casting the spell at.
object oTarget = GetSpellTargetObject();

// Get the caster level for the spell.
int iCasterLevel = ACR_GetCorrectCasterLevel( oCaster );

// Our spell will last 1 hour per caster level.
float fDuration = ACR_GetSpellDuration( oCaster, ACR_DURATION_TYPE_PER_CL, ACR_DURATION_1H );

// Do our fancy spell effects...
[...]

// Post-cast event. Cleans up spell data.
ACR_PostcastEvent();
}</pre>
