i was wondering if anyone could give me a script to apply to a book thats similer to Spell Tomes book scripts but with some extras. checks to see if you already have the spells provided by the script. and for it to loop so it initiates every time you opent he book

still looking for a fix for it?

LTD might know if he is around

Col John Sheppard

right if anyone can help me with that fix the main post is actually about a page down

I never downloaded Spell Tomes, but basically you open a book and a spell is given, right? Any particular reason why you want a check for if the player already has the spell, or just clean scripting? AddSpell doesn't actually do anything if the player already has the spell.

yeah i just want the powers added to the player whenever he reads the book. i'm just looking for a way to fix the bug of the vanishing spells in the older Toaster Says Share and Recruit

In that case, the script should go...



OnActivate runs when the book is activated in the world, and OnEquip when you select the book in your inventory.

ok thanks a bunch but how do i attatch the script to the book? and does addspell work on powers too?

EDIT: Oh and do i use the spells Base or Ref ID?

EDIT: i tried it and it said nested sotmhign blocks arnt allowd what did i do wrong?

you use the spell Ref ID.
you find the book you want in the CS and then open up its properties and click drop down menu and select the script.


there is the window that should pop up.
what do you mean by powers ?
cus if you mean skills then yes

and this will boost your skill.

so in theory you will have something like this.

no by powers i mean greater and Lesser powers that are also present int he spellbook but not considerd spells

EDIT still what did they mean "Nested Begin/end blocks are not allowd"?

just make shore there is a gap between begin and wat follows and between end and whatever is b4 it.

Make sure that the structure of the Begin/End blocks goes...

Begin
Do Stuff
End

Begin
Do Stuff
End, instead of something like...

Begin
Do Stuff
Begin
Do Stuff
End
End. AddSpell does work on Greater and Lesser powers, and incidentally Abilities and Diseases. In fact, they're all (including actual spells) subtypes of the Spell. To attach the script to your book, open up the book in the Object window and select your script from the drop-down box labeled "Script", just below the ID.

does that include the two begins that exist in the two diffrent parts of the script? its listed above

Yup. You have to end the first before beginning the next.

ok now i'm confused. how do i add powers? i'm tryign to have the book add some lesser powers

You add powers as if they were spells. AddSpell VampDisease, (Porphyric Hemophilia) AddSpell BSMage, (Mage Birthsign Attributes) AddSpell lpRaceKhajiitNighteye (Eye of Night Lesser Power), and AddSpell StandardFireDamageTarget1Novice (Flare Spell) are all equally valid.

ok i'll see how this works

ok this script isnt working. I keep getting this messege



line 9 Nested Begin/end blocks are not allowd

Can you copy the exact script you use? The example doesn't turn up any errors in my CS...

scn ToasterSpellBookScript

Begin OnActivate
AddSpell 1toastcrybattle.
AddSpell 1toastmenuspell
AddSpell 1toastpowerofhate
AddSpell 1toastpowerofsharing

Begin OnEquip
AddSpell 1toastcrybattle
AddSpell 1toastmenuspell
AddSpell 1toastpowerofhate
AddSpell 1toastpowerofsharing

end

Yup. You're missing an "end". As is, it goes Begin Begin End. Add another end a line above Begin OnEquip and you should be golden.

thanks but i give up i cant get this fix working

And I held so much faith in you...
