Hey!

I'm really bad at editing spells (trust me, I've tried a lot), so I thought I would gather up some spell ideas and ask the people here how to create each one. Since these are very basic "templates", I would learn myself that way.

So, the general types of spells I want to create:

• Morph spell - simple spell (aura) which, when used,would perform the same function as the .morph command. Then, when the aura is removed (by rclicking on it's icon, for example), it would demorph your character. It would also be much much better if this aura would not be removed on logoff. Of course I understand that I will have to create a spell like that for every model I want to use.
• Scale spells - four spells which would 1)Increase your characters size by 1; 2)Decrease your characters size by 1; 3)Increase your characters size by 0.1; 4)Decrease your characters size by 0.1
• Flying spell - same as .gm fly on (*off on unaura). Possibly with flying speed increase. Also, I'd like this spell to use the flying, not swimming animation kit, so it could be used on dragon models.
• Attach spell - attaches a certain model on your character. For example, an item, or a spell (e.g. eye glow). Would be nice if it used attach points instead of coordinates.
• Faction spell - makes you friendly/hostile with a certain faction. There are two good examples called "Faction override - {Alliance/Horde}".

I'd be very thankful if someone explained how to create at least one of the listed spells.

 

Additional question: I'm replacing destro warlock spell models with their fel versions (basically, by changing the ids in SpellVisualKit), but I can't find how the casting effect (one that appears on your characters hands) is set. Could someone tell me?

Anyone?

Morph spell - такие спеллы делаются с помощью: / such spells can be done by using:

effect 6 (SPELL_EFFECT_APPLY_AURA)

aura id 56 (SPELL_AURA_TRANSFORM)

target - 1 (self)

misc value = айди моба, в которого ты хочешь морфануть / creature's id

 

Scale spells :

effect 6 (SPELL_EFFECT_APPLY_AURA)

aura id 239 (SPELL_AURA_MOD_SCALE)

base points = % увеличения/уменьшения размера / scale %

target - 1 (self)

 

Flying spell - такого рода спеллы сделать нельзя; Нужно скриптовать через ядро. / cant be done via dbc, you must script it in core

 

Attach spell:

effect 6 (SPELL_EFFECT_APPLY_AURA)

aura id 4 (Dummy) (используется, как пустышка, не нужно скриптовать)

target - 1 (self)

spell visual = айди визуального эффекта, который ты заранее создал / id of visual effect

 

Faction spell:

effect 6 (SPELL_EFFECT_APPLY_AURA)

aura id 139 (SPELL_AURA_FORCE_REACTION)

target - 1 (self)

base points - 4

misc value = айди фракции / faction id

Ok, this is more about gameobjects than spells, but:

I'm trying to make a gameobject which would prevent players who stand on it from casting spells. I made it a "trap" object and then tried two things:

• Set the spell to be a permanent spell silence aura. This is not good because the aura stays on the character when he walks away from the object, which it shouldn't.
• Set the spell to a timed spell silence aura and set the cooldown to it's duration. This also does not work, because of that stupid pvp thing where if you apply a silence spell multiple times, it's duration will halve every time.

What should I do?

I can't find any of those fields in my Spell.dbc. Are you sure it works in Cata?

It works in LK, you didnt mention that you want to do it in cata.

And yeah, it should work in cata too, cuz spell.dbc in cata looks like spell.dbc in LK, but spell effects are in another dbc. So yeah, you must edit 2 dbc in cata to do spells.

I did, in the tag

So you put the spell id into SpellEffects.dbc, not the other way around?

https://wowdev.wiki/DB/SpellEffect

[Grindi]

In spell.dbc you must create new entry, put in all params that you want to use and than you must open spelleffects.dbc and create one line with effect for your spell. (You link those 2 dbc via SpellID in spelleffect.dbc (25column))

Is this gonna make the faction friendly or hostile? How to make it opposite?

But what about a mount spell with no mount? Kinda like Vial of Sands?

 

And another spell I haven't added in the list:

Animation spell - makes your character show a certain animation. Also, is it possible to make a spell that would replace animations? E.g. if you morph into a dragon and use .gm fly on, he will appear as walking on air or swimming. If you aplly the spell, those animations will be replaced with flying animations.

Vial of Sands works exactly like any other mount, but it have one effect more - morph effect.

Any dmg can drop you from this "mount" and you cant use it indoor, so its not the solution.

Its not possible on 3.3.5, but it is possible on 4.3.4. You should look at how Running Wild works. http://www.wowhead.com/spell=87840/running-wild

What about http://www.wowhead.com/spell=58806? I've seen many other let's say "technical" spells, which make you use an animation.

P.S.How did you make the link to the spell look like that?

This type of spells only force player or creature to use animation, they dont REPLACE animations.

For example, running wild spell replace worgen's move and jump animation.

Ok, thanks, I'll look into it.

Oh, and another one, if you don't mind:

Sheath spell - makes your character permanently sheathe/unsheathe his weapon, and it won't be affected by any of his actions (casting, animations, etc.)

You can do it by using disarm, but it will affect attack animations. Attack animations linked to weapons.

This is Running Wild in SpellEffect.dbc:

As I understand, 6 is the effect and 358 is the aura id, but where do they link to? How do I know what these two numbers mean?

Disarm just hides your weapon, doesn't it?

Nope, you also cant use spells which requires weapon. (But ofc you can use all of this spells as triggered spells)

These numbers are scripted in Core.

But what I need is for the weapon to be permanently sheathed or unsheathed. So, for example, while using the /talk animation, the character wouldn't automatically sheathe it, but would continue to hold it in his hand, swinging it around while talking.

You should look open SpellEffects.cpp in src folder in your core.

In AnimationData.dbc there are flags that are responsible for, whether to sheathe weapon or hide it.

But it work only with animations. (any sort of animations)

Maybe the spell could hide the actual weapon your character has equipped, and attach the same model into his hand?

Ah, it's SpellAuraEffects.cpp

...what? You want to hide weapon and put same weapon in the hand?

Yes, if it's not possible to just force the weapon to be unsheathed.

Actually, there already is a spell like that (though it still uses the stupid swimming animation):

Hey!

I made a little edit to SpellEffect.dbc and I get a worldserver crash with the following error:

./dbc/SpellEffect.dbc exists, and has 27 field(s) (expected 27). Extracted file might be from wrong client version or a database-update has been forgotten.
