Hi everyone,
I posted on Discord but it is always a hit and miss for me when I ask questions there. Also, people comment on other things and my question gets lost…
So here I hope I can get an answer to a couple of questions.
First, I have all my dragon breaths for the basic dragon disciples working except the acid breath. Why I can’t figure out. It crashes the game. The others (Lightning, Cold, Gas, Fire…all work).
Here is the script for the acid…now why won’t it work like the others? The cls_feat points to the right line on the feat and also on the spell 2das.
See script below:
//:: Breath Weapon for Dragon Disciple Class
//:: x2_s2_discbreath
//:: Copyright (c) 2003Bioware Corp.
//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
/*
Damage Type is Fire

---------------------------
3 2d10 19
7 4d10 19
10 6d10 19
after 10:

savedc: increasing by 1 every 4 levels after 10

oTarget = GetNextObjectInShape(SHAPE_SPELLCONE, 10.0, lFinalTarget, TRUE, OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE | OBJECT_TYPE_DOOR | OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE);
}
}
Also, I have a weird thing going on too. The Dragon Disciples can’t level past level 8. Although on my class 2da it says it can go to level 40. It gives me this weird message in the window in game: “character has applied invalid number of skill points”. But I do assign all the skill points.
Sometimes I can trick it by taking another level or two in Sorcerer (usually when I get to level 10 Sor) then it allows me to take levels above 8 in that other DD.
