Area or Script Enchantment

Post » Sat Nov 17, 2012 5:58 am

Hi,

I'm trying to make an enchantment that has an area effect. Though for some reason the area is set to 0 when I attach my magic effect to an enchantment. Is it possible to make an enchantment with an area effect?
Alternatively, can I make an enchantment with a script as effect. That way I can make the script cast a spell (which can have an area) and attach that script to the enchantment.

Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot,
-Pablo

Ok, after some playing around I fixed it myself!
For the ones looking for something similar, here's how I did it:
1) Make your magic effect (with a wanted area)
2) Make a spell for this magic effect, give it a proper duration (I used 2seconds)
3) Make another magic effect, this is going to be a scriptWrapper
4) Add a script on the wrapper magic effect. In this script you put a loop and call the spelle every 2 seconds
5) Make an enchantment with the wrapper as effect

Voila, you're done. You now have an enchantment that has an area of effect! (You or course can do something similar to get an enchantment with a script)

Hope this can also help someone else
