Reply to Stackable summon spells - how to balance it? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Guys does anyone know if there is any way to have a summoning spell summon a party/group or whatever instead of a single unit..... without changing the unit definition? So for example... create spell that summons a Party of Shadow Wargs, without touching the UnitType definition for the Shadow Warg. I know it's possible to do the skeleton hoard thing and summon multiple in different tiles... but I also wouldn't mind having spells that summon a group (once you have the "

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="12" id="3353291"]In order for this approach not to be completely abusive, I highly recommend that any unit summoned on the stategic map have a casting time and a mana upkeep. Thereby, any of these units can be cast in tactical for a balanced casting time, cost no upkeep, and automatically unsummon at combat's end.[/quote] I tend to agree that casting times for strategic might be a good idea. What would be neat would be (late tree) abi

Just been testing, and as far as I can tell, the TotalPopulation trigger isn't firing for the AI in LH either. Dang it! [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

Reply to Does the AI get random events? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I could be wrong but seems that the TotalPopulation quest is a bit bugged in LH. I can get a quest to fire using it but then when you get the treasure GiveUnit treasure doesn't seem to work. If I use the TurnNumber it works fine. I guess possibly it was the same in FE. Shame the turn number trigger doesn't fire for the AI.

Hmmm, wow.. thats amazing thanks. However.... not sure it works anymore. It displays the required minimum unitstat in the spellbook, and doesn't stop the spell display (awesome). But unfortunately it doesn't seem to prevent casting the spell :-( Bummer. Kinda suprising that it doesn't work now.... guess it must have been removed from the code somewhere alone the line. Thanks for the input. Might try it out with a global resource and

Reply to Stackable summon spells - how to balance it? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

I'm weighing up whether going for a global resource might be a better option. So having Dominion as a global resource, probably make it not stored so it would work in the same way as the unitstat but shared across all champions. There are some advantages: - the dominion cost and maintenance of summon spells would be displayed in the spellbook (it's not for unitstats) - it wouldn't hide spells in the spellbook if you don't have enough dominion to c

Reply to Stackable summon spells - how to balance it? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

I've actually just spent the last hour doing some tests with the unitstat, exactly the way you just described. I found most of it worked really well.... when you add the unitstat and cast a few summons, you can open the characters Unit Details hover over their "Dominion" and it lists all the summons you have on the go... all the +1 and -1 modifiers etc. That's actually really great. And like you said opens up options for abiltiies and items to enhance it. W

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="4" id="3353089"] that made it so we couldn't drain a unitstat due to the limited nature of randomization. [/quote] ok yep can see that would have been a problem if you wanted random stuff. How far did you get with modelling the use of "Dominion".... did you get as far as crunching some numbers on the design? So you were thinking of having an upfront Dominion cost to cast the summons, then a (lesser) ongoing

Stackable summon spells - how to balance it? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Hi guys, I've been thinking about trying to mod in some additional summon stuff, specifically stackable summons. Curious to see how it would play out Thing is, I can't quite come up with a way to have it balance. Hoping for some discussion from the clever people here. The basic thing I'm shooting for is to have 1 *stackable* summon spell for each element. So lets say for Earth, you get: Earth 1 - Summon Earth Shrill (10 mana) <p

Reply to Will we be able to mod champion paths? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

@parrot - yeah forgot that, I found level prereqs worked in that they stop you selecting the ability... but I found you can't just have an ability that only shows if you have a faction trait. You can toggle abilities to display on/off with allegiance (like the summon lightbringer, and the necromancy spell abilities)... but you can't do the same thing with a faction trait. An yeah buggered if I can get a Path to hide based on a prereq.

Reply to Will we be able to mod champion paths? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I think it must to do with the way the Path screen is coded.... because they have that new ability type "Unit_Level_Path". I would guess that the way that choose path popup works is... it just grabs all the abilities that have that type set... and doesn't bother checking for anything else (prereqs), You'd think it would be relatively easy to tweak it so that as the system builds the list of path abilities, runs the "standard" ability prereq checks on them. Same as unit l

Reply to Global spell effects in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Well spell damage, yes I believe that's what the Evoker abilities do have a look at them. Mana cost for tactical spells.. yes... look at Ironeer blood and the Path of the Mage for examples. Not sure about Strategic spells, probably no. Mana per turn, not easily as far as I know. Per Shard effects, you'd have to elaborate on what you mean.. or what you'd like to do.
