Spell System in Progress

[CarrionMan19]

Hey guys, I'm working on a spell system for my heroes. This is how it'll work:

4 basic spells, 2 ultimate spells and 1 legendary spell (kind of... stronger than ultimate anyway). I'm not going to have any unit abilities

The basic spells will have 7 levels and can be leveled at levels 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, the ultimate spells have 3 levels and can be leveled at levels 9, 17, 25 and the legendary or whatever spell will have 1 level and will be leveled at 25

How can I make this work?

Make your own hero skill learning system; the default won't cooperate well with you.

(A spellbook with other abilities inside it that detect cast..)

I got that much, but how do I make the actual spell book?

 

[PurplePoot]

Erm, what part of it do you need help with?

Adding the spells to it? Making a Spell Book in general?

 

[CarrionMan19]

Adding the spells... I've already made the spellbook

 

[PurplePoot]

Well then, just add all 7 spells to the spellbook by putting its Spell List to include those 7 spells, then set both the Minimum Spells and the Maximum Spells to 7.

I was meant to say that I made the spellbook as an item, i still need to make it an actual spellbook. I should've made that clearer first

 

[PurplePoot]

Add the ability itself to a unit?

 

[CarrionMan19]

That's what I wanted to do, but there's one problem. There's no spellbook ability... how do I make a spellbook ability?

 

[PurplePoot]

It's called Spell Book...

It's under Item Abilities.

 

[CarrionMan19]

Found it. Just me being blind. Now to set the resrtiction levels...

it would be cool if you made the hero just get the legendary spell at lvl 25 rather than seeing a grayed out box saying "required level 25"

It is? I guess it's just a matter of taste because that's something I personally would find rather annoying and "uncool"...

 

[CarrionMan19]

Same here. Anyway, I want my heroes to actually "learn" spells from the spell book rather than just casting them. How do I do that?

 

[PurplePoot]

Having them cast a dummy ability in the spellbook with the proper tooltip, description, etc, would suffice.

 

[CarrionMan19]

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try
