Separately: as you know, opcode #172 (Remove Spell) and opcode #171 (Give Innate Ability) allow you to create infinite SPLs.
However, if a character is killed when one of these SPLs is active, then that SPL is lost forever (due to the timing mode of opcode #172 being set to 9.....) Is there a way to avoid this issue?

Opcodes 171 and 172 do not use timing mode 9. They have only 3 functional timing modes: 1/4/7. Instant, Delayed(seconds), Delayed(ticks). All others effectively convert to one of these. Any delayed opcode 171 effect will be removed by death, and has nothing to do with opcode 172. As for workarounds, no, I don't know of any safeguard to delaying opcode 171.
As useful as the IESDP is, I have to agree with @subtledoctor , here's some missing information for just the first 15 opcodes EE behavior.
Opcode 0: Each modifier type to AC from this opcode is capped to the range [-20, 20]. Each AC type total is capped to the range [-32768,32767].
Opcode 1: -1 = -1, -2 = -2, -3 = -3, -4 = -4, -5 = -5, -6 = -1/2, -7 = -3/2, -8 = -5/2, -9 = -7/2, -10 = -9/2. Number of attacks are cumulative, not key values.
Opcode 2: Removes opcode 39 effects and STATE_SLEEPING. Can remove opcode 177 effects targeting an EFF with opcode 39. Does not always work when delayed.
Opcode 3: Missing "Type" information. In Combat(0) = Only berserk while in combat. Constant(1) = always berserk, sets SPELLSTATE 39. Usable against party members and non-party members. Forces creature to use a melee weapon if possible. (*) Can set base STATE.
Opcode 4: Removes opcode 3 effects and STATE_BERSERK. Does not remove opcode 246, 247, or 248 effects. Can remove opcode 177 effects targeting an EFF with opcode 3.
Opcode 5: Charm types are woefully undetailed.
(Parameter2)[LONG]: Charm Type 0 : Neutral Charm
Does not alter targets allegiance stat.
Maintains EA[7][REALLYCHARMED] on the target if the caster is EA[30][GOODCUTOFF].
Maintains EA[254][EVILBYCHARM] on the target if the caster is EA[31][NOTGOOD].
Maintains Portrait Icon STATDESC[0]['Charm'] on the target.
Effect ends if the creature is attacked by EA[30][GOODCUTOFF].
Same as 5, but target does not display any string.

If this effect turns a party member hostile, it will disable all of their scripts.
Opcode 6: (*) Can modify base stat.
Opcode 10: (*) Can modify base stat.
Opcode 11: Remove opcode 25 effects and STATE_POISON. Can remove opcode 177 effects targeting an EFF with opcode 25.
Opcode 12: Damage types "Magic Fire" and "Magic Cold" do not crash. Damage type "Poison" automatically uses save flag "Bypass Mirror Image". BIT3 flag: Drain HP to caster's Maximum HP, applying Opcode[#18], HP: Maximum HP Modifier to caster equal to damage dealt, inheriting the specified duration. BIT4 flag: Drain HP to caster's Maximum HP, applying Opcode[#18], HP: Maximum HP Modifier to caster equal to damage dealt, inheriting the specified duration. BIT5 flag: Suppress combat log feedback string. If effect reduces target to -20(PC) or -9(other) hit points, it also applies opcode 13 of the specified type:
Crushing/Slashing/Piercing: Exploding Death
Acid/Unlisted: Acid Death
Cold/Magic Cold: Frozen Death
Fire/Magic Fire: Burning Death
Electricity: Electrified Death
Magic/Missile/Poison: (normal)
Dice Number capped to the range [0,255]. Final values for damage are capped to the range [-32767, 32768].

Opcode 14: Restores creature to 1 HP. Does not affect creatures without STATE_FROZEN_DEATH. Opcode 15: (*) Can modify base stat. (*) Several: Used with timing modes 1/4/7 results in modifying a creatures base stat when it triggers, rather than attaching a removable effect.

Try delaying the 172 effect by the exact same amount as the 171 effect.
Yeah, I guess this is the only possibility. I set their timing modes to 1: as soon as you activate your ability, this will be removed forever and will be given to you at the same time.....
If you think about it, there's no need to delay opcode #171 (I did that because I didn't want to be able to spam my ability.....): there's opcode #206 for that......
Inspired by @Ardanis CREATE_SPELL/CREATE_EFFECT, I made CREATE_ITEM, CREATE_STORE, CREATE_CREATURE and CREATE_AREA. Could someone check if everything is OK? Thanks in advance...
EDIT: CREATE_CREATURE and CREATE_AREA don't work (something is missing.......)
EDIT2: Nevermind, there's already a TP2 action (namely CREATE) for that.........
How do I get a script to cast a spell at an object's location but not target the object?
Using ReallyForceSpellRES or any of those script actions will cast the spell with the object as a target, even if the spell itself has "Any Point" or something else set as target parameter.
I tried using 'SaveObjectLocation' with 'ForceSpellPointRES' but it seems the later will not accept a token as its target coordinates, so that doesn't work?
To elaborate on what I need the script to do: I want it to cast a spell at the target's current location but not have the spell actually follow if the target moves away.
*Edit* I'm currently trying to work around that by having helper creatrures jump to the target locations and cast the spells on themselves but somehow I'm having trouble getting the creatures to jump right into the targets (so they jump right next to it.) MoveGlobalObject puts the object right on the target but JumpToObject seems to put it next to the target. The helpers all have null_animation and have their personal space set to 0 for good measure but that doesn't help with the displacement...
Nevermind, got the helper workaround working, had just set the wrong timing mode for the personal space removal opcode.
Would still be interested in knowing if it is possible to do this via script only...
*edit2* Nope, the invisible creature doesn't work either. It works most of the time but sometimes it will still shove either the target or other nearby characters aside, which isn't acceptable.
@Ulb: The only way I've found to do this is via opcode #148 (Cast spell at point). You need an instant-cast spell that contains the opcode, with the real spell to be cast in the resource field. You can then use the "container" spell to cast the real spell at a target's point...
Sadly, the downside to doing it this way is that the opcode always invokes ForceSpell, so the spell can never be disrupted. Looks like you wanted to force the spell anyways, so this method might actually work for you.
Opcode 3: Missing "Type" information. In Combat(0) = Only berserk while in combat. Constant(1) = always berserk, sets SPELLSTATE 39. Usable against party members and non-party members. Forces creature to use a melee weapon if possible. (*) Can set base STATE.
[Berserk Type] What is the difference between constant(1) and blood rage(2)? I guess the answer holds for opcode #247 too, right (i.e., param2 has the same functionality)? Moreover:
Does opcode #3 (or #247) alter the allegiance stat?
Can I charm (via opcode #5) a CRE affected by opcode #3 or (#247)?
Can I charm (via opcode #5) a CRE affected by opcode #3 or (#247)?
They will still be uncontrollable while the berserk state is active. You can technically still charm them, and if they are using the "in-combat" mode of berserk then charming them can end combat and snap them out of it, at least until the charm expires. For example, if you Charm Brage once he goes hostile and avoid getting hit by him for a round then combat and his berserk will end. (It doesn't make a difference for the plot, as he's not scripted to handle this situation, but it can be done.)

STATE_REALLY_DEAD isn't an actual state, it's a pseudo-state, I believe originally added by mods. It just checks against any of the actual death STATES, so those two script checks are functionally the same. STATE_REALLY_DEAD is 0xFC0
Quick Question: what file sets the number of APR bonuses granted for weapon proficiencies? I know it is separate from the the one that delineates damage and to-hit bonuses.
@Luke93: The style parameter is indeed not currently implemented. Any action that primes the trigger will always set the field to 0.
I've looked at the engine, and while AttackedBy() receives an Object, it only tests against object selectors.
So, for example, AttackedBy([ANYONE],DEFAULT) will work, because the object is passed as a set of selectors. AttackedBy(NearestEnemyOf(Myself),DEFAULT) does not work, as you have not passed the object in selector format.
It looks like most triggers that are primed, then checked later, (like AttackedBy), are prone to this behavior. Weird stuff.

Most of these triggers don't evaluate alongside a script - they instead set a flag on the target creature when what they test for is true. These flags are always set, regardless if any scripts are actually using the trigger. It seems that these types of triggers go through a different processing structure, which evaluate objects differently than the rest.
Hey, does anyone know how to script a dialogue to occur just before resting when the player decides to rest? (For example like in the romances). Preferably also need to way to make a dialogue occur after the rest is finished too. For context, I'm trying to make a dialogue for a custom npc in which they have drinks and chat when you rest at a tavern. When the rest is finished, the next bit of dialogue gives the impression they have been chatting all night.
Quick Question: what file sets the number of APR bonuses granted for weapon proficiencies? I know it is separate from the the one that delineates damage and to-hit bonuses.
@Reddbane "CLSWPBON.2DA", columns: KITNAME '0/1' 'rate' 'penalty' '0/1' = false/true gets proficiency APR 'rate' = levels per unarmed 1/2APR increase (meant for monks, but affects everyone). 'penalty' = non-proficient THAC0 penalty (the 0-proficiency row of "WSPECIAL.2da" isn't actually used)
However, single-class kit's can only get proficiency APR if their base class also gets proficiency APR. Improper Multi-class kit's can only get proficiency APR if the base Multi-class and at least one of it's respective base classes gets proficiency APR. Proper Multi-class kit's can only get proficiency APR if at least one of their separate base classes also gets proficiency APR (the multi-class listing in CLSWPBON is not required for proper multi-class kits.)
Unfortunately CLSWPBON.2DA is currently bugged such that C/T, M/T, and C/M cannot get the APR benefits of WSPATCK.2DA, no matter what you do. I've filed a bug report with Beamdog about this a year or two ago... it was not fixed for 2.5 but maybe, hopefully, it might be fixed for 2.6.
They can, just not without also granting it to at least one of their base classes (which will determine which class level determines their APR). You have to set one of the base classes APR column to '1', and the Multi-classes's APR column to '1'. If using a multi-class kit, you also have to set it's APR column to '1'.
There is a bug with the record display - it does not always update to correct values upon loading until an equipment change occurs.

Most of these triggers don't evaluate alongside a script - they instead set a flag on the target creature when what they test for is true. These flags are always set, regardless if any scripts are actually using the trigger. It seems that these types of triggers go through a different processing structure, which evaluate objects differently than the rest.
Level (Horizontal)
Proficiency (Vertical)
0 = 0
1 = +1
2 = +2
3 = +3
-1 = +1/2
-2 = +3/2
-3 = +5/2
Am I correct in assuming it is -4 ( +7/2) and 4?
KITNAME '0/1' 'rate' 'penalty'
'0/1' = false/true gets proficiency APR
'rate' = levels per unarmed 1/2APR increase (meant for monks, but affects everyone).
'penalty' = non-proficient THAC0 penalty (the 0-proficiency row of "WSPECIAL.2da" isn't actually used)
However, single-class kit's can only get proficiency APR if their base class also gets proficiency APR.
Improper Multi-class kit's can only get proficiency APR if the base Multi-class and at least one of it's respective base classes gets proficiency APR.
Proper Multi-class kit's can only get proficiency APR if at least one of their separate base classes also gets proficiency APR (the multi-class listing in CLSWPBON is not required for proper multi-class kits.)
You have to set one of the base classes APR column to '1', and the Multi-classes's APR column to '1'.
If using a multi-class kit, you also have to set it's APR column to '1'.
There is a bug with the record display - it does not always update to correct values upon loading until an equipment change occurs.
