How to copy a new installed spell

[deratiseur]

question: if I use ADD_SPELL to add a spell to the game with this instruction :

Quote

ADD_SPELL ~Derats_Magasin_2/Sorts/pxl2so2u.spl~ 2 8 WIZARD_PX_BREATH_OF_PORPHATYS    SPRINT current_spell_res "%DEST_RES%"    SAY NAME1 @6087    SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC @6088

How can I copy THIS installed spell for a variation? like :

Quote

COPY_EXISTING %DEST_RES% spell"    ~override/pxl2shi3.spl~     WRITE_BYTE 0x34 3

Something like this:

ADD_SPELL ~mymod/nuspl.spl~ 2 1 WIZARD_SPELL_NEW
    SAY NAME1 ~name~
    SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC ~desc~
LAF RES_NUM_OF_SPELL_NAME
    STR_VAR spell_name = ~WIZARD_SPELL_NEW~
    RET spell_res
END
COPY_EXISTING ~%spell_res%.spl~ ~override~
 …etc

Thanks But that's don't work.

I've tried this :

ADD_SPELL ~Derats_Magasin_2/Objets/Coffre/Dilp/pxl2prag.spl~ 2 4 WIZARD_PX_DEADLY_RAGE SAY NAME1 @130911    SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC @130912
LAF RES_NUM_OF_SPELL_NAME
STR_VAR spell_name = ~WIZARD_SPELL_NEW~
RET spell_res
END
COPY_EXISTING ~%spell_res%.spl~ ~override/pxl2test.spl~    WRITE_BYTE 0x34 1

That don't work. The debug file say :

You need to use the same spell name you just added, i.e. WIZARD_PX_DEADLY_RAGE should appear in place of WIZARD_SPELL_NEW. Then it will work.

Ok, that's work, thanks a lot

I use this for non-simple spell installations such as :

	ADD_SPELL ~Override/pxl2achi.spl~ 2 7 WIZARD_PX_HACHITOZAS_TROOP_IMPROVEMENT    SPRINT current_spell_res "%DEST_RES%"    SAY NAME1 @60729    SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC @607309    WRITE_ASCIIE 0x34e   "%DEST_RES%" #8    WRITE_SHORT 0x98 ~%pxl2achi%~    SET ZF_inc_duree = 6    LPF MULTI_LEVELS END (custom macro)
