Effect Item
Revision as of 02:21, 2 June 2017 by imported>DavidJCobb (→Notes: some weird optimizations on concentration spells; I really don't get why they're needed, and they're definitely really difficult to work around)
Spells, Enchantments, Potions, and Scrolls all have an Effects List, which is made up of a series of Effect Items. Double click an entry in the Effects List to open the selected Effect Item and edit its details.
Effect Item Dialog
The Effect Item Form consists of:
- Casting Type and Delivery are determined by the parent object's settings. These restrict the type of Magic Effect you can select.
- Effect: The Effect Item's Magic Effect.
- Magnitude: When applicable, the 'strength' of the effect.
- Area: When applicable, the radius of the effect in feet.
- Duration: When applicable, the duration of the effect. Duration is never applied to Constant Effects.
- Based on these values and the properties of the Magic Effect, the other values in this section will be automatically calculated.
- Conditions: The effect will only function if these conditions are true. Note that excessive conditions can cause performance issues.
Notes
- Conditions are usually checked every second of gameplay. However, concentration spells only appear to check their effects' conditions once, when the spell is first cast.
- Consider the case of two cloak effects that both trigger the same concentration spell. If an actor makes an uninterrupted switch from using one cloak effect to using the other, the concentration spell will only check its conditions once (at the start of the first cloak).
