Spell Reflection

A Happy New Year to everyone on the Vault!

I saw that a similar project called Gaze Reflection Spell has been uploaded to the vault today and it reminded me of my recent work trying to create a similar effect to all spells in the game.

This is very much a work in progress, aimed at module developers. In short, this script grabs the last spell that was cast at the NPC and fires it back to the player. It can be done as an action que, instantly, or even assigned to other objects. Such an effect was achieved in a surprisingly small amount of coding. The script also deals with the level of the spell. I'm also planning to add MetaMagic compatibility in a future update.

Installation

Download, unzip, import the ERF into module of choice. Script should be placed on OnSpellCastAt (Link goes to Lexicon)

Getting it to work on the PC

Getting it to work on the PC, as Gaze Reflection Spell does, will require a lot of work. Since there appears to be no Event related to the PC casting a spell, the only feasible way to implement this, would be to change the entire database of spell scripts, adding temporary variables and checking them against more scripts, as is the underlying mechanics of Gaze Reflection Spell. Anyone else who can beat me to it, you're welcome, though it would be fun to try and suss out a solution.

There's a quick DEMO module installed, it's strongly recommended you use a Spell Casting Class to test it!

Have fun!
