Talk:Magic effect scripts

Is it possible to stick a script-effect spell as an ability on someone? And if so, will the scripteffectupdate spell function more or less as a gamemode block? It seems a handy way of jamming scripts onto people who already have one...Talkie Toaster 14:21, 20 April 2006 (EDT)

Yes, I use this method extensively. It works exactly like a normal spell script. ScriptEffectStart and Update process as soon as you add the ability, and scriptEffectFinish runs when you call removeSpell. It's not just useful for magic effects, but is also probably the closest thing to MW-style targeted scripts that we have. Scruggs 16:04, 29 May 2006 (EDT)
