Can it be done, without altering the MAXIMUM vitality?

cant you just use the editor to do that? or a code?

No, I need a script to make a character wounded, down to like 1vp, in-convo.

You mean like EffectHeal and EffectDamage?

void main() {
object oTarget2Heal=GetObjectByTag("somebody");
object oTarget2Hurt=GetObjectByTag("somebody_else");

effect eHeal=EffectHeal(10); // heal 10 VP
effect eHurt=EffectDamage(10); // damage 10 VP

ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eHeal, oTarget2Heal);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eHurt, oTarget2Hurt);
}

perfect, thanks. :D

So ... how can I script for a poisoning effect on my PC and let's say Atton for 10 seconds?? with 10 VP loss?

thanks :)

First you'd need a custom poison that behaves in that particular way. You can add one by adding a new line in the poison.2da file.

Then you can apply it with a script like:


void main() {
object oPC = GetFirstPC();
object oAR = GetObjectByTag("Atton");

effect ePoison = EffectPoison(999);

ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, ePoison, oPC);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, ePoison, oAR);
}


Replace 999 with the line number from the poison.2da file that contains your new poison type. (Note that poison effects should generally be applied with a Permanent duration since the poison types have their own built-in duration that's set in the poison.2da file.)

Duration was one of my doubts :) ... plus the poisoning animation but it fires right there ...

thanks again Stoffe ... :D
