Hey Thanks, I'm actually looking for the scripts already made instead of having to copy/paste to a new script, Do you have the Scripts for this that you could send me?

The original system was 5 scripts which is why copy and paste was valid as a release method aka known as zero hosting potential issues.

Version 2.x is 52 scripts with extensive documentation and example spells scenes etc and will be released as a unity package shortly (undergoing final testing tonight)

As a teaser the current feature list includes:

Full pooling system, automatic or pre-warmed
• Centralized spawn class linked to the pooler, including spawns on birth, death, body removal, spell hits & explosions, trapped objects, proximity triggers, and more
• Player and AI magic enabled character creation wizards for easy setup
• vInventory integration for spells, including custom AI item manager
• Leveling system with data abstraction layer, modifiable attributes, resistances & formula’s
• Main menu system linked to the data abstraction layer
• SQLLite/EasySave2 abstract data layer implementation (easy to clone for other data formats)
• Character information screen
• Attribute System with Point Spending
• Magic weapons and armour with damage and resist types linked to the levelling system
• New Damage System with Damage Over Time, and various Damage Types
• Damage Mitigation System including resist types
• Weapon trails effects
• Custom animation on AI instantiation
• Status effects aka burning, poisoned, frozen etc
• Generic AI without modifying the Invector core (Experimental)
• Ranged AI for Invector Core AI capable of spell casting or arrow shooting.
• Feed vWaypoints into the animator and trigger actions
• 600 free gems unique to this asset (uses the Unity Gem Shader)
• Merge LOD levels from simplygon output onto singular bone structure
• Character equipment material changer (across multiple LOD levels
• Generic ragdoll builder which works from bone chains
• Archery and Thrown weapon System
• Complete custom-made spells and Skills Examples, free for commercial use
• Custom Emissions Shader
• Shield Bash System
• Custom inputs for spells
• Magic Projectile Script with homing and advanced targeting systems
• Custom hand effect’s
• Animator based multi-layered spell casting system
• Custom Spell Sounds
• Physics Based Spells
• Gold and Object Collection System that shows in the Character Screen
• Custom Scripts to do everything from Raise the Dead to Heal.
• Basic Character Creation System (Name, Axis, Class, Race and Alignment)
• Damage Mitigation System

Just a fun thing of note, if you add a Magic Attack Behavior to the Shield Bash states in Full Body - > Attacks (the bash state should have vMeleeAttackControl) You can have it spawn Physic's force (have it go AFTER vMeleeAttackControls Start time) and it will not only ragdoll the enemy, but use physic's to push him back. You can totally do a super power bash that knocks the enemy 100 kph into a wall, or just knock the enemy 5 feet up in the air)

I got it going once i enter play mode, I think everything is fine.

I'm on step 9 now but I really don't see the script "MagicInput" I imported all the project , I did delete easy save script cause i have another Menu and save system but this should not be this problem right?

I don't think the script "MagicInput" is in the package here is a screenshot, 

I found the script it is Actually called "MagicSettings" a little error in the docs, No Biggie.

Why does this error occur?

Hey Shades of Insomnia,

I dont know if it might just be me, but do you guys except contributing?

Like if you guys created a github project of this. It sounds open source. It could mitigate their being many "spell systems". And you guys would have control on what goes on, but mostly it would be flexible.

Just a idea @insomnia shadex , but I hope it helps!

Thank you!

Hi Mate

that has actually been discussed previously, i need to ask invector as one of the scripts AI Item Manager is basically the vItemManager but with all of the player specific code removed, its only purpose is to provide a mini spell inventory for the AI. 

I will have a word with them

thanks

Thank you very much for your help and sorry for late reply, I've been using the demo file to get the spell working in my scene :D now just have one question, is it possible to get the items equiped and ready to use without going to the inventory screen and asign? thank you very much for your help :D

Hi Gus, are you planning to use the inventory? you can just add the spells to the item managers initial items and they will auto assign to the slots on game start.

or you could copy the code from the loadstate in the database class and use the same method to assign via a script.  If you do dont forget to share your script.

or you could manually set the MagicID property in the MagicSettings on the player vBOT

hope this helps
