It is a bug (not related to spells). Stack should not try to move if it have zero speed.

This is my first attempt to revive forgotten Fear spell in H3/VCMI
www101.zippyshare.com/v/F1YFKP8V/file.html


Please note, that Fear spell was planned diffirent than Azure’s Dragon ability. I try to configure it using these informations:
heroes.thelazy.net/wiki/Fear_(spell
heroescommunity.com/viewthread.p … 6509#focus

I created new summon spell summonGenie

It’s not good how currently number of summoned creatures is checked.
If my hero has 12 spellpower, and power=1 for expert level, it summons 12 genies.
It would be good enough, if it took power=120, for example, 120/40 genie hit points=3, and summoned 3 genies.
Currenlty I could not create summon devils, for example, 1 devil or another 7th level creature for each spell power is cheating.

PS It looks like power=30 in root of spell config is ignored, and only n level power is used. As I remember, in old configuration root power * spell power of herp + level power bonus gave full damage of spell.

Cathedral and 3 towns released!
#64

Implemented. Added bool flag summonByHealth. F.e. 12 SP, 10 Level power, 40 HP => 3 creatures

Only standard h3 creaures can be summoned?
When I type

console says failed to resolve identifier…

#66

Try full identifier (with mod id).

#67

“id”:“hota.pirate”,
or
“id”:“hota.cove.pirate” doesn’t work either ;[

#68

shoud be hota.cove:pirate

#69

it works, thank you! But mod id must not contains capital letters.
For example:
“id”:“doomMod.lostsoul” - is bad
“id”:“doommod.lostsoul” - is good
Maybe it’s obvious…

#70

It is not obvious and very confusing actually. VCMI converts mod id to lower case, but for entity identifiers lowerCamelCase is recommended.

#71

What exactly means this summonByHealth. We should type for example in spell json?:
“flags” : {
“indifferent”: true
“summonByHealth” : true
},

#72

No it is not generic “flag”, it is boolean option of the effect.

#73 
		"battleEffects" : {
			"summon" : {
				"exclusive" : true,
				"id" : "waterElemental",
				"permanent" : false,
				"type" : "core:summon",
				"summonByHealth" : true
			}
		},
#74

Thanks, I’ll test!

#75

Is there any way to summon only one creature regardless of hero’s spell power?

Summons only 1 creature
#76

No it`s not.

#77

Can someone helps me for the “id” fill for the summon spell? I tried plenty of times to get this right but I can’t figure what I need to put in the “id” section. I tried “rfggoldgolem”, “rfgGoldGolem”, “refugee.rfggoldgolem”, “refugee.rfgGoldGolem”, “refugeetown.rfggoldgolem”, “refugeetown:rfggoldgolem”, etc.

@misiokles says its “id”:“doommod.lostsoul” - Lostsoul is the creature’s id but what is exactly doommod? folder name, town name, etc.?
@AVS says it’s “id”:“hota.cove:pirate” - and here there’s hota.cove and then “:” followed by the creature id. I’m lost.

I have a spell localized in: (spell id = “rfgSummon”)
RefugeeTown/content/config/refugee/spells/spell.json

and I’d like to summon this creature: (creature id = “rfgGoldGolem”)
RefugeeTown/content/config/refugee/creatures/REFGL5L

What am I missing? Thanks for your answers

#78

This should work if spell and creature are in same mod.

“battleEffects” : { “summon” : { “exclusive” : true, “id” : “rfgGoldGolem”, “permanent” : false, “type” : “core:summon”, “summonByHealth” : true } },

This should work anywhere

“battleEffects” : { “summon” : { “exclusive” : true, “id” : " refugeetown:rfgGoldGolem", “permanent” : false, “type” : “core:summon”, “summonByHealth” : true } },

This still doesn’t work (after the spell is launched, hero do spell animation and then game soft-freeze until I check an error dialog box outside the game. When I comeback to the game I’m back at the main menu).

“battleEffects” : { “summon” : { “exclusive” : true, “id” : “rfgGoldGolem”, “permanent” : false, “type” : “core:summon”, “summonByHealth” : true } },

Game crashed with this one.

“battleEffects” : { “summon” : { “exclusive” : true, “id” : " refugeetown:rfgGoldGolem", “permanent” : false, “type” : “core:summon”, “summonByHealth” : true } },

If I remove the uppercases (refugeetown:rfggoldgolem), then the game soft-freeze like previously.

Logs_txt.rar (111,5 Ko)

The spell
rfgSummon.json (2,5 Ko)

The creature
REFGL5L.json (1,3 Ko)

Any idea why it still doesn’t want to work?

#80

This should be correct one, but there a space right after ", remove it. And post new logs if it crash again.
