Magic Wall

Description

Magic walls fire spells in a given direction, in regular intervals. Magic walls can contain any spell. However, some spells do not operate very successfully in them. The only way to know is to test the spell you want to use with a wall.

Several types of magical walls are predefined for you in the archetypes, and can be found on the "connected" Pickmap.

Type defined by:

• object::type = 62

Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
armor class	liv::ac	A magic wall of high <armor class> is less likely to get hit from an opponent. <armor class> can be considered the "counterpiece" to <weapon class>.
block view	FLAG_BLOCKSVIEW	If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot see beyond it unless they cross it or manage to stand on top.
blocked movement	obj::move_block	If set, the object cannot be passed by players nor monsters.
casting speed	obj::speed	The <casting speed> defines the spellcasting speed of the wall. You can fine-tune how long the duration between two casts shall be. If you want to create a wall that can be activated (cast per trigger) via connected lever/button/etc, you must set "speed 0".
connection	connection value	Every time the <connection> value is triggered, the wall will cast it's spell. You should set <casting speed> to zero, or this won't have much visible effect.
direction	liv::sp	The magic wall will cast it's spells always in the specified <direction>. A magic wall with direction set to <none> will always fire in a random direction.
elevation	obj::elevation	The elevation (height above sea level) of this tile. It is used for weather calculations and should be in the range -32000..32000. The elevation of a tile must be set in the bottom-most game object; elevation values for non-bottom-most game objects are ignored by the Crossfire server.
glow radius	obj::glow_radius	If <glow radius> is set to a value greater zero, the object appears lit up on dark maps. <glow radius> can be a value between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
hitpoints	liv::hp	The more <hitpoints> the wall has, the longer it takes to be destroyed.
identified	FLAG_IDENTIFIED	If an item is identified, the player has full knowledge about it.
image	obj::face	The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible	obj::invisible	Generally makes the object invisible. Depending on the object-type, some can be made visible by the show_invisible spell. If in doubt, test it. Putting an invisible object under the floor always prevents it from being shown.
is destroyable	FLAG_ALIVE	Walls with <is destroyable> enabled can be attacked and (eventually) destroyed by the player. If disabled, all other attributes on this tab, as well as resistances, are meaningless.
material	obj::material	This bitmask-value informs the player of which material(s) the object consists. Material does also affect how likely the object can be destroyed by hazardous spell-effects.
max hitpoints	liv::maxhp	<max hitpoints> are the maximum amount of hitpoints the wall can have. This only makes sense if the wall can regain health.
name	obj::name	This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
no damage	FLAG_NO_DAMAGE	If set to non-zero, the wall cannot be destroyed by attacking it.
non-pickable	FLAG_NO_PICK	If set, the object cannot be picked up (Neither by players nor monsters).
number	obj::nrof	This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example: 100 gold coins => "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
plural name	obj::name_pl	This is the plural name of the object. A plural name must be set for all items that can be picked up and collected by the player.

smooth level	obj::smoothlevel	If <smooth level> is set to a value greater zero, the object will be drawn partially over adjacent squares having a lower <smooth level> value. The value must be between 0 and 255 (inclusive); 0 means "never overlap adjacent squares".
spell level	obj::level	The wall will cast it's spells at level <spell level>. "level 1" walls cast spells at minimal strength. "level 100" walls cast deadly spells. Arch default is level 1 - you should always set this value to meet the overall difficulty of your map.
title	obj::title	This is the object's title. Once an object is identified the title is attached to the name. Typical titles are "of Mostrai", "of xray vision" etc.
unpaid	FLAG_UNPAID	An <unpaid> item cannot be used unless a player carried it over a shop mat, paying the demanded price. Setting this flag makes sense only for pickable items inside shops.
value	obj::value	Adds a certain value to the object: It will be worth that many times the default value from it's archetype (E.g. "value = 3" means three times worth the default value). Value for buying/selling will be further modified by various factors. Hence, testing values in-game is usually inevitable.
weight	obj::weight	This value defines the object's weight in grams (1000g is 1kg). Objects with zero weight are not pickable for players. Still, set the "non-pickable"-flag for explicitly non-pickable objects (hey, this is opensource.. you never know ;) ).
