onebatlespell-minor glitch?

[Xietor]

I used #onebattlespell "summon spectral infantry"

And it does work in battle but too well.

Not only do 5 smoulderghosts appear at the start, they appear each round of combat as well. Sort of cool, but regrettably a bit overpowered. Sort of like a mini MOD.

Is this what happens when you use a summoning spell instead of a battle spell?

As an aside, I did a search of subject onebattlespell and read several posts, but saw none on this particular issue.

I don't think anyone's been crazy enough to onebattlespell a ritual before :]

I am afraid KO beat me to it. /grin.

The Mother of Serpents uses the #onebattlespell to summon serpents at the start of combat. While it may not be exactly
the same command, it does show that it can be done.


And in fact #onebattlespell does work with summoned spells, it just needs to stop after one cast. Would that be hard to code? I have no clue.

And I am not really crazy-i just test the boundaries of the game mechanics!

No, mother of serpents has #onebattlespell of a battlefield summon, not a ritual. It isn't a battlefield summon you can find in the spellbook, but it is in the game and I believe it's been indentified in the forums before.

There are plenty of battlefield summons you can try it with and they'll all work fine.

Perhaps the ritual is handled as if it was a cloud-type spell? I think those were created by adding large numbers to the effect.

And yeah, the difference here is between ritual and battle spells. Ritual summon spell is effect number 10001, battlefield summon spell is effect number 1.
