Although thank you, that's certainly progress.
Of course, this also means the problem is deeper rooted than I thought...

 

Code:

<spell name="Materialize Vodka" type="self" downtime="240" consumeItem="0" icon="skills/alcohol_poisoning32.png" >
    <description text="Oh, Vodka, how sweet you are!"/>
    <effect type="spawnitemfromlist">
        <option name="Vodka"/>
    </effect>
  <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/psionic_generic/psionic_generic" frames="5" framerate="70" sfx="ping"/>
  </spell>

 

im imagining slashing and crushing for professional bear wrestler, since bears have claws, which they swipe with, and are heavy.

 

Derp. I never would have thought of using the option tag.
Thanks, this worked like a charm. Uploaded new version.

The piercing is the claws as well.
I don't know. I was tempted to make it aethereal just so it's useful against dredmor.
I suppose it could be crushing/piercing/slashing, with +3 instead of +4.

 

Would making vodka brew into aqua vitae be a little overpowered considering a dedicated space bar spammer would then have infinite aqua vitae?

 

On a 240 turn timer? Probably not that big of a danger, mind you they might get a fairly large stock just playing normally. Up to you, but there are better skills to pick if you want lots of aqua vitae(dire gourmand and fungal arts spring to mind).

 

-Update-
Version 0.3:
Added Ability to "Professional Bear Wrestler"- "I've Fought Bears That Hit Harder Than That!"
Added still recipe to make Vodka into Aqua Vitae
Tried to fix the boulder animation and ended up back where I started

 

Ok, this boulder animation is bugging the crap out of me.
Is there a widely accepted method of making the game play animations in order? I want it to go like this:
Boulder is thrown -> ~1 second wait -> boulder drops, cracks -> template effect goes off

I was trying to do it like this: (pseudocode)

Code:

<spell name="From Russia With Love" type="targetfloor" >
    <effect type="trigger" spell="animation for throwing" />
    <effect type="trigger" spell="animation for dropping" />
    <effect type="trigger" spell="Template Spell" />

Because that seemed to be how dragon's breath did it in the original game's spellDB. It didn't work.
I'm guessing I'm going about this wrong?

 

dragons breath uses 3 templates, so you may just want to steal it then modify it.
good old bit of ctrl+F in the original spellDB really works when looking how to make spells

 

Like I said, I tried copy pasting dragon breath, it didn't seem to work. I think it has something to do with the difference between targetFloor and target spells?
I can try again, although at the moment I'm really sleepy, and bored of coding XML.

 

Bawwwwww.

Code:

<spell name="From Russia With Love" type="targetfloor" icon="skills/spells/boulderization32.png" downtime="56">
<effect type="trigger" spell="BThrow" amount="0" />
<effect type="trigger" spell="BDrop" amount="0" />
  </spell>
<spell name="BThrow" type="self">
<effect type="damage" crushing="0"/>
<anim sprite="sprites/sfx/boulder_throw/boulder_throw" frames="3" firstframe="0" framerate="70" sfx="earth"/>
  </spell>
<spell name="BDrop" type="target">
<effect type="damage" crushing="20" crushingf="0.30"/>
<anim sprite="sprites/sfx/boulder_drop/boulder_drop" frames="6" firstframe="0" framerate="100" sfx="earth" />
<effect type="trigger" spell="BField" />
  </spell>
<spell name="BField" type="template" templateid="99">
  <effect type="damage" blasting="10" crushing="10" crushingf="0.40" primaryscale="0"/>
  <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/impactA/impactA" frames="6" framerate="60" centerEffect="1" sfx="earth"/>
</spell>

It's exactly the same as dragon's breath, but I changed what I needed to. I had to screw with the spell types to get it to work at all. I kept the damage on throw/drop in case that was it.
And it does the same thing as it did before.
I honestly have to wonder if dragon's breath is hard-coded to work like that. :/

 

You must be missing something because dragon's breath uses a series of templates, each triggering the next.
Try adding after="1" to the triggers for BDrop and BField. Also you don't need the damage line in the BThrow(unless you intend to change it from 0). Amount="0" I don't think does anything either and can safely be removed. (it means trigger them with a 0 turn delay).

If that doesn't work, create a custom 1x1 template with just the player position noted and affectsplayer="1", and use that for the spells you want leading up to the aoe at the end. Each triggering eachother in turn, this will basically do what dragon's breath does.

 

That's the problem, though. I can't use templates like that without changing the spell's effect by setting where it lands manually. I can't make BThrow a template because the caster would be the targeted floor, so that would be where the animation would play, even if I made the template 1x1. I honestly have no idea why BDrop didn't work as a 1x1 template, but it stopped the ability entirely. The one thing that I didn't even bother with was BField as a mine, so I should probably try that, but I can't imagine how that would change anything. But the triggers play exactly how dragon's breath does it.
And yeah, most of those tags are there because dragon's breath does it like that.
Maybe I could change it so that it has a 1-turn delay between throwing the boulder and it landing?

I also tried after="1", and it didn't work. Thanks though, between this and "materialize vodka" you've been a big help.

What I have:

Code:

<spell name="From Russia With Love" type="targetfloor" icon="skills/spells/boulderization32.png" downtime="15">
    <effect type="trigger" spell="BThrow" />
    <effect type="trigger" spell="BDrop" after="1" />
  </spell>
 
<spell name="BThrow" type="self">
    <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/boulder_throw/boulder_throw" frames="3" firstframe="0" framerate="70" sfx="earth"/>
  </spell>
 
<spell name="BDrop" type="target">
    <effect type="damage" crushing="20" crushingf="0.30"/>
    <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/boulder_drop/boulder_drop" frames="6" firstframe="0" framerate="100" sfx="earth" />
    <effect type="trigger" spell="BField" after="1"/>
  </spell>
 
<spell name="BField" type="template" templateid="99">
  <effect type="damage" blasting="10" crushing="10" crushingf="0.40" primaryscale="0"/>
  <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/impactA/impactA" frames="6" framerate="60" centerEffect="1" sfx="earth"/>
</spell>

 

Ok try this for BDrop.

Code:

<templatedb>
 
  <template width="3" height="3" name="11111" affectsPlayer="1">
  <row text="..."/>
  <row text=".#."/>
  <row text="..."/>
  </template>
 
</templatedb>

Code:

<spell name="BDrop" type="template" templateID="11111">
    <effect type="damage" crushing="20" crushingf="0.30"/>
    <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/boulder_drop/boulder_drop" frames="6" firstframe="0" framerate="100" sfx="earth" />
    <effect type="trigger" spell="BField" after="1"/>
  </spell>

 

Progress!
The throwing and dropping animations still play at the same time, but it at least waits until the boulder drops before pulling the effect.
I tried just giving the BDrop trigger a delay through amount="1", but that didn't work. Would I need to make BDrop a mine for that to work?

 

It MIGHT help to add an animation to From Russia With Love that lasts the same length as the BThrow animation. (It wouldn't need to actually show anything, just having the same number of frames, and same framerate, on a completely blank sprite).

You can test this idea easily by just copying the animation from BThrow to From Russia With Love, and see if it waits for that animation to play through before going on to the BDrop animation.

 

Cool- I can't test this right now since I'm in a car, but I'll do it right when I get home.
Thanks, again. You've been really helpful.

Edit: So this didn't work, but I did, eventually, get it working.
This probably isn't exactly a good solution, but I just added a bunch of blank frames to the front of BDrop so that it syncs with BThrow.
I know that's kind of cheap, but hey, it worked.
