[Question] Custom Spells?

[gotiefan]

Hello,

Is it possible, to create some sort of Custom spell with Aspire (hearthstone)?

I know it's impossible to create it like a actual spell, that it has an own icon and it appears in spell book. (Maybe through client editing, but no thx)

But maybe it's possible to create some sort of item, if pressed. It'll execute a C++ script and do what it says?

I dunno if you have already looked on the Aspire forums but I'd suggest looking there first. I'll look around today and see what I can come up with for you.

It is.. Get a DBC editor, and edit the DBC file called spells..
Sorta hard..

Not quite sure about wheter it works for players or not

It is possible. However, you'll require a clientside patch. That patch would have to get installed. If they do not have it installed, they'll crash every time they get in contact with it.

OP: You could just hack the Gossip functionality for this

You could probably make an item that casts a visual spell visual - Wowhead Search since useable items can be placed on the action bar aswell;
And make it execute a script at the same time that'll remove an x ammount of HP of the casters target not too hard; but to have it consider damage reductions and such aswell...... I dunno

I will look into couple things.

The problem about really custom stuff on a private server is that you will have to fiddle with the patch files in your World of Warcraft Data folder. It really isn't that hard, as you can edit the DBC and just look with something like...MyWarcraftStudio or something. But the really hard part about this is that, you would create a custom patch.

To distribute those custom-made patches out to people (if it's live) is near to impossible, as most private server people are of either Russian or Romanian countries, and their english skills are rather...let's say limited.
And the technical skills aren't that good either!

And whenever a new Revision of the core was out and you updated, then you would have to remake all your patch-edits so that they fit the new Revision, which in all honesty would be a pain right?

However do you plan on just having it for fun on your own little server with just you, then it's not really a problem. Just save a copy of the patch-file you edit so you always have the original one in store! (And be prepared for not updating your Revision :b)

Being blunt- Did you people even read the damn post? He said he wants to do it via scripting, as in "fake" spells (code it, attach it to an item via gossip functionality).

Exactly lol.

True, but.

Could you explain me what you mean with 'Hack the Gossip functionality'

Create a gossip item, but instead of creating a menu, put whatever code you want it to do when the player uses the item.
There are plenty of guides and examples of gossip items, just have to look
