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	living::ac	A magic wall of high <armor class> is less likely to get hit from an opponent. <armor class> can be considered the "counter piece" to <weapon class>.
artifact	object::artifact	If defined, refers to an artifact to get values from.
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	object::move_block	If set, the object cannot be passed by players nor monsters.
blocks prayers	blocks_prayer	Similar to damned, but does not appear in detect curse.
casting speed	object::speed	The <casting speed> defines the spell-casting 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".
changing	FLAG_CHANGING	A <changing> object converts to <food> <other_arch> objects; when it's animation is done. For non-living objects <food> is checked: if it is zero, the change happens; otherwise <food> is decreased by one. I suggest you don't mess with this value - leave the default in place.
client-sided randomized animation?	FLAG_CLIENT_ANIM_RANDOM	If defined, then the object's animation is client-sided. Similar objects are animated independently.
client-sided synchronized animation?	FLAG_CLIENT_ANIM_SYNC	If defined, then the object's animation is client-sided. Similar objects are animated synchronized.
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	object::direction	The magic wall will always cast its spells in the specified <direction>. A magic wall with direction set to <none> will always fire in a random direction.
elevation	elevation	The elevation (height above sea level) of this square. 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	object::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	living::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.
identified animation	identified_animation	If defined, then the object will take this animation when identified.
identified animation speed	identified_anim_speed	If defined, then the object will have this animation speed when identified.
identified image	identified_face	If defined, then the object will take this appareance when identified.
identified random animation?	identified_anim_random	If defined, then the object's animation is in a random sequence when identified.
identified_name	identified_name	If defined, then the object will take this name when identified.
identified_name_pl	identified_name_pl	If defined, then the object will take this plural name when identified.
image	object::face	The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible	object::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.
is used up	FLAG_IS_USED_UP	If set, decrement the <food> field at <speed>. When <food> reaches zero, remove the object.
material	object::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	living::maxhp	<max hitpoints> are the maximum amount of hitpoints the wall can have. This only makes sense if the wall can regain health.
name	object::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	object::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	object::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.
price adjustment	price_adjustment	If set, this is the buy and sell price adjustment ratio for the item.
price adjustment for buying	price_adjustment_buy	If set, this is the adjustment ratio when buying the item. Ignored if <price> adjustment is set.
price adjustment for selling	price_adjustment_sell	If set, this is the adjustment ratio when selling the item. Ignored if <price> adjustment is set.
resist acid %	object::resist	(no description)
resist blinding %	object::resist	(no description)
resist chaos %	object::resist	(no description)

resist turn undead %	object::resist	(no description)
resist weaponmagic %	object::resist	(no description)
smooth level	object::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	object::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.
splitting	FLAG_SPLITTING	A <splitting> object converts to <food> <other_arch> objects; when it is hit physically. For non-living objects <food> is checked: if it is zero, the change happens; otherwise <food> is decreased by one. I suggest you don't mess with this value - leave the default in place.
title	object::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	object::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	object::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 open source... you never know ;) ).
