Scripting UseItem (IWDII)

[Callirgos]

Hi. I've got this test script below, and I'm not sure why the item is only being used once. Is it the case that items may only be used once? This item is a wand, and this test script should use it once every 7 seconds. Any thoughts?

 

IF
!TimerActive(5)
HasItem("KCWebSP1",Myself) // No such index
!CreatureHidden(Myself)
See(NearestEnemyOf(Myself),0)
Range(LastSeenBy(Myself),20,LESS_THAN)
THEN
RESPONSE #1000
 StartTimer(5,7)
 UseItem("KCWebSP1",LastMarkedObject) // No such index
 WaitAnimation(Myself,WALK)
 WaitAnimation(Myself,CONJURE)
 WaitAnimation(Myself,CAST)
 Continue()
END

I've done some extensive testing on this and it looks like UseItem will only fire once. Can someone confirm or deny this?

Just an uninformed guess, but do the animations fire anyway? I don't know in what all circumstances LastMarkedObject gets (re)set.

It is totally unresponsive.

 

Next question is about GREATER_THAN and LESS_THAN. Does 6, GREATER_THAN mean 7+ or 6+?

 

SAY I Wanted to cover a different behavior at 6.... let's just call it 6 "proximity". Which of the following would be appropriate?

 

Range(NearestEnemyOf(Myself),7,GREATER_THAN)

Range(LastSeenBy(Myself),6,LESS_THAN)

 

OR

 

Range(NearestEnemyOf(Myself),6,GREATER_THAN)

Range(LastSeenBy(Myself),7,LESS_THAN)

6 greater than means seven or greater (i think).

Translated to code it is 'range > 6'

Your second 2 triggers cover the whole domain, while the first two will leave some unhandled ranges (6 and 7).
