Yo,

 

Im building a vampire kit. And it will turn stuff into custom vampires as well.

The main character with relevant kit and race vampire will die by a custom spell if exsposed to sunlight, if he is not wielding a nerfing ring called Daywalker Ring. And the vampire he turns will be the same.

 

But how do i determine if they are exsposed to sunlight?

 

I know hide in shadow dont work in sunlight. But it does not work if spotted by enemy as well.

I know there are many weather conditions.... Dusk to dawn, dawn to dusk, city, rainy forest, dungeon, etc? How do it see difference if the creature is in a tavern/house contra outside in the city during daylight?

Maby there is something in the scripts for vampire NPC's already in the game?

There are drow items who turn to dust if exsposed to sunlight? How is this set up? Just by leaving underdark? Or does it has actual sunlight code?

Is there sunlight factors? Such as Sunlight Sensitivity, sunlight exsposure in the game already?

How do i uncompile a script? Cause i cant read scripts already compiled^^

Any pointers?

If someone wants to help, i have used chatGPT to create scripts for, maby there are faults which im to incompetent to find:
Spell (Bat Swarm)
Spell (Vampire orignator, custom one so far used for draining "The First Vampire blood to become "Vampire Orginator", it will summon a genie who promts you and ask if u want to summon the first vampire so u can steal his powers)

 

I use AI to help script as i dont know the programming language.

GelVa00.baf (dialog script for genie who summons the first vampire)
GelVa00.bcs (script for same genie)

GelVa01.spl (spell that summons "The First Vampire)
GelVa01.cre (The First Vampire)
GelVa01.baf (Dialog script to the first vampire)
GelVa01.bcs (Script for the first vampire)
GelVa02.spl (Custom Blood Drain spell that triggers scripts, and simulate draining blood from the first vampire)

GelVa03.spl (Bat Swarm, Spell to trigger script and set global value)
GelVa03.bcs (Creature scripts for bats)

I assume i have to nerf the damage of those bats in Bat Swarm spell as each bat deal damage twice, and each enemy get attacked by 3 bats. And that is 30*2*3 = 180 damage. So i guess i nerf it to 15 piercing damage. 15*2*3 = 90 piercing damage(it's an endgame HLA albility)

I figured it would be nice to have a Bat Swarm Single Target spell as well.

So i will make creature: GelVa08.cre
with creature script: GelVa08.bcs
It will basicly work such that i cast a spell on a target, which force him to summon 20 bats on me with delay of 50ms between each bat summon. 
I can ofc splitt this in to level progression spell with less bats for lower levels, and possible more bats for super high levels, simply by changing the number of times enemy summons bats on me in the spell itself.
Bats will then do random walk for a period(to provoke randomness in motion), then move to LastSummonerOfMyself and deal 2 piercing damage, then randomwalk again for 500ms and destroy self to dissapear.

So 20 x 2piercing damage = 40 damage. So i guess this is nice around level 10-12 or smt, and i could half number of bats for level 5-7, and double ammount of bats for level 22+ or smt. And maby just 3-4 bats at level 1 if i want spell early(6 or 8 damage)

GelVa08.spl i will make in NearInfinity, this is basicly just a description of the spell as I have to make it when i get home xD

// GelVa08.spl Bat Swarm Target Spell
// Actions:
// Play animation over caster
// Play animation over target
// Play sounds for bats and wingstrokes
// Force Target to cast uninterupted GelVa09.spl
// Force Target to cast uninterupted GelVa09.spl (delay 50ms)

// Force Target to cast uninterupted GelVa09.spl (delay 900ms)
// Force Target to cast uninterupted GelVa09.spl (delay 950ms)

 

GelVa09.spl will just be a summoning spell, dno if i want any animations or sounds yet. Its the spell enemy are forced to cast several times. So should be instant etc.

 

GelVa09.spl Summon Bat Swarm Single Target spell


// SummonCreature 'GelVa08.cre' on player1.
