I'm a bit tired of making my mod for the moment, and my favorite thing to do is make spells. I just made a spell that makes people gigantic, that was pretty fun. Anyone have any other funny ideas?

Spell that forces then to do the funky chicken

Lol. Anyhow, I've started working on a black hole spell (think Mass Effect) and it seems like it should work. It doesn't. Not throwing any errors, and I have my properties properly filled, but nothing doing. I'm gonna start a thread for it.

How about a spell that teleports you behind the targeted enemy? That combined with silent casting would be a lethal combination for a Mage assassin

Scriptname AssLeapScript extends activemagiceffect Event OnEffectStart(Actor Target, Actor Caster)float TrigAngleZfloat GameAngleZ = Target.GetAngleZ()if ( GameAngleZ < 90 )  TrigAngleZ = 90 - GameAngleZelse  TrigAngleZ = 450 - GameAngleZendifCaster.MoveTo(Target, (Math.cos(TrigAngleZ) * 60) * -1, 0 , (Math.sin(TrigAngleZ) * 60)*-1)endEvent

This moves you a few feet behind the target. Unfortunately it doesn't always match rotation perfectly, and also sometimes it sends you through the floor for whatever reason.

Not following your math there. What is the purpose of the if statement?

Also, how were you thinking of doing a black hole?

I had thought of this before, using little applyhavokimpulses rapidly after setting the actors mass to something small. Not sure if it would work, havent tried it.

The if statement converts the GetAngleZ from a weird nonsense value to an actual mathematical value. Also, my black hole kind of svcked, and I can't get it to be visible.

That must mean its working perfectly, not even light can escape remember

Lol, true.
I think the problem is actually that SoultTrapHandFX or whatever its called can't be rendered without being attached to a hand. At least, I can't get it to render.
