Add Item Effect, specific (IWDII)

[Callirgos]

Hi. I'm trying to add an AC bonus. But the bonus must be shield type. How do I specify that?

 

Parameter 1 = the AC bonus

Parameter 2 = 3 ( for shield ) ??

 

Also when removing AC bonus opcode 0 in a patch, it will remove all types regardless of different values in parameter 2, correct?

According to the IESDP, p2 would be 3, yes.

Yes, DELETE_ITEM_EFFECT does not discriminate more than that. It'd be pretty straightforward to add, however.

Great. Thanks for your help. I've got a handle on the simple things now

I'm trying something a little more complicated. How can I add an equip effect for (206) orotection from spell?

With the ADD_ITEM_EQEFFECT function.

Okay, I'm a little confused about how to write the "resource" line and reference a specific spell.

somefile.itm is given on-equip immunity to Chromatic Orb:

COPY_EXISITING somefile.itm override
 LPF ADD_ITEM_EQEFFECT
   INT_VAR
     opcode = 206
     target = 1
     timing = 2
   STR_VAR
     resource = spwi118
 END
BUT_ONLY

Ah.... That makes sense. What is BUT_ONLY for? I'm not using this and my files are patching fine. I'm interested because I've seen it more than a few times but I don't use it.

WeiDU Readme.

 

It prevents WeiDU from copying the file if you made no changes to it, which is especially important when you conditionally apply changes (e.g. copy all items and add an effect to the ones that are necklaces).
