Making a item of knock

[Question]

How do i make an item cast knock at will? I cant seem to find the parameters to do that.

[Question]

BUMP.

1) Find an item that can cast a spell (e.g. a wand of something)

2) Change the number of charges so it's infinite.

3) Change the filename of the spell that gets the cast to that of knock.

[Question]

I meant cast the spell from the special ability button, not putting it into the quick slot.

[Grim Squeaker]

Oh. Well, this should work: Give the item a 'while equipped' grant special ability, and as a parameter that should have the name of a new knock spell (so while its equipped it gives the special ability). This new knock spell will be a copy of the original knock spell except when its cast, it grants special ability itself (i.e. when you cast it, it adds itself again).

 

I think that'll work but its when you do strange shit like this that you uncover little quirks in the engine that don't do exactly what you expect.

 

Edit: Oh and for the record, that's an obscenely overpowered item.

[Question]

Why is it strange? The improved cloak of protection allows you to cast improved haste on yourself.

The one from ToB? That allows you to cast it once per day. I just described how to make an item that grants you the ability to cast knock at will.

[Question]

Doing this via DLTCEP's extended header area.

 

Does this look correct?

 

[Question]

Apparently not.....i dont get the icon to show up at all.

[igi]

You have the icon set to SPWI207 - this image does not exist (which is probably a major factor in why no image shows up)

Try setting it to SPWI207A.

 

On a side note - the Check function in DLTCEP will tell you about this error, and lots of others. So use it please.

[Question]

Changed it to SPWI207A....still doesnt show up in the special abilities area. I must be setting some things wrongly, but the checker is only picking up something about tooltip.2da.....

[Grim Squeaker]

Is there any reason why you want this to appear in the special abilities section rather than the item abilities section? Because if you want the latter, once again I recommend copying an existing item and changing paramters one by one. That way when/if it stops working, you know the exact step that caused the problem.
