Tree chain lightning

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Well! I tried to make a nizzle chain lightning spell - but it won't do as i want it to. i basically want it to strike trees, but it won't let me, even though it does say 'must target a tree'

Try targeting Debris, if that doesn't succeed, then Destructible.

I have, but there's no destructible. i've tried alive dead invulnerable vulnerable tree debris.

Is it only set to tree and nothing else? (Sometimes spells can misbehave if there are some other targets enabled)

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

I have tried that, i tried it with mixes of the options.

Well then it is spell problem. Many spells are heavily coded, which means modifying could be hard or impossible. Looks like chain lightning is coded that it just doesn't work on trees. One idea what I thought is that it is because debris, tree's and all that stuff doesn't have attachment points and maybe that's why lightning can't strike it. But that's just my thought. You can, however, achieve this with triggers.

I know, and i've done it before. I just love using the object editor cleverly, ya know? I actually got it to work on a gate, but no lightning, no damage, just spell used :/
