Custom Spells! (for a Custom Class!)

[Cholo71796]

Okay. I've read Xcynic's guide on how to make a custom class trainer. Now I want to make custom spells, to put in my custom class trainer. Or so I can make belts that turn you into cows (yay)! Overall, I want to create a function and put it into a SpellID. Now I know you can't make custom classes that appear on character creation page, but I do have a great idea on how to do it indirectly. My solution is the following:

• Delete all current class trainers then add 2-X amount of trainers, and add a quest that:

A) Lets you 'perceive' (I don't know if that would work since there is stealth perception) one of the two given trainers.
or
B) Gives you a teleportation spell to a room with the trainer- and portals in the room of course.

After-thoughts: I started dragging on there, but it all DOES fit the topic. Once I get the knowledge of spells, I can make the portals, rooms, trainers, etc. So please help!

This idea has been thought of DIRECTLY by me. You can use it, just don't take credit for it.

ALSO: I'm looking for work as a GM on a server. I can make items and help fix errors. [My routers, firewalls, computers, networks- even webcams are against me on private servers, so I can't make my own, however I have fixed/helped on many. Don't ask.] So please consider me before taking the-next-guy.

Idea sounds great - but you cannot make spells. =/ Its impossible without editing the DBC files of the ser4ver, and then making all your players download that, and then redownloading it every time there is a chance, which I guess is possible, but it would be a hassle.

I heard that you have to make a new entry in spells112 and then script the actual spell in C++ and compile...But thats just what i heard :P Way to complicated even if its true

Well I'd like to know which is true. Then I can get to work.

I really think that's incorrect. I'm not sure, but if you can do it with custom mobs and custom quests then custom spells shouldn't be a problem either!

What an epic bump.
You can create custom spells by editing the DBC. It's a pain though, you'd better mod existing spells.

You can edit WHAT IT DOES, you can't edit the spell or add any new ones.
Lots of people say you can do that with C++ but most of them cant do a "printf()"

[TheSpidey]

You can add new spells in the DBC.
You can edit existing spells in C++.
