[MOD] EEex (v0.10.2-alpha)

Tenhkux

@Bubb , first of all, thank you very much for this amazing development!! To give some context, I built a mod (for myself, several years ago) that reworks the entire magic system thanks to it (something I had always wanted to do).

Now, I am trying to migrate it from 2.5. to 2.6 (I know, but I had not had the time till now) and have some ideas and questions.

1. Ideas:
   • Could we add back the casting mode "0x6" as we had in the 2.5 version and was used by the CheatMode in the Spells Menu Extended mod?
   • Could a hook for hide in shadows (similar to the one for thieving skills) be added so more classes/kits can hide in plain sight?
   • Would it be possible to increase the max visual range? (op262 won't go beyond a limit)
   • Could we have a function or something that let's us clear the fog of war (like farsight but we have a radius parameter so we can clear bigger areas if we want) and that can be cast on the map (not the menu map)?
   • Is there a way to cast spell on the minimap directly (again, like farsight)?
   • Is there a way to make summoned creatures go through exits/doors? Right now, I limit the number of creatures that can do that and use a hacky way with make global override, it would be great if we could either:
     • Give them the capability without make them globals
     • Have a way to delete globals so we can attach an effect on death that deletes the global
     • Allow backstab (or sneak attack) with ranged weapons
2. Questions (so far):
   • In my mod, I use functions like (the three versions: wizard, cleric and innate):

     EEex_LearnInnateSpell, EEex_UnlearnInnateSpell, EEex_GetMaximumMemorizableInnateSpells, EEex_MemorizeInnateSpell, EEex_UnmemorizeInnateSpell and EEex_ProcessInnateMemorization
     

     I understand that

     EEex_ProcessInnateMemorization
     

     could be replaced with

     (EEex_Utility_IterateCPtrList(CGameSprite.m_memorizedSpellsInnate function(spell)...
     

     but I find difficult to replace the others (I know I am supposed to use CGameSprite:Function, but I do not know what to use as arguments to that method. How could I rebuild them?
   • I have a spell that unlocks doors and another that disarms traps, I am worried especially about the one that disarms traps (I use a snippet you provided):

     function TKWI303(effectData, object)
     	
     	local sourceID = EEex_ReadDword(effectData + 0x10C)
     	local objectID = EEex_GetActorIDShare(object)
     
         local isSprite = EEex_IsSprite(objectID, true)
         local isActive = EEex_IsTrapActive(objectID)
         local isDetectable = (not EEex_IsTrapFlaggedNondetectable(objectID)) and EEex_GetTrapDetectDifficulty(objectID) ~= 100
         local isDetected = EEex_IsTrapDetected(objectID)
     	local disarmDifficulty = EEex_GetTrapDisarmDifficulty(objectID)
         local isDisarmable = disarmDifficulty ~= 100
     	local parameter1 = EEex_ReadDword(effectData + 0x18)
     
         if isSprite then
     		TK_DisplayString(sourceID, "TK_STR", "Tis' but a scratch!", tk_feedback_strref)
             return
         end
     
         if not isActive then
     		TK_DisplayString(sourceID, "TK_STR", "Object not trapped", tk_feedback_strref)
             return
         end
     
         if not isDetectable then
     		TK_DisplayString(sourceID, "TK_STR", "Trap warded against scrying", tk_feedback_strref)
             return
         end
     
         if not isDetected then
     		TK_DisplayString(sourceID, "TK_STR", "Trap concealed", tk_feedback_strref)
             return
         end
     
         if not isDisarmable then
     		TK_DisplayString(sourceID, "TK_STR", "Trap warded against spells", tk_feedback_strref)
             return
         end
     
     	if parameter1 >= disarmDifficulty then
     		EEex_DisarmTrap(objectID)
     		TK_DisplayString(sourceID, "TK_STR", "Your spell successfully disarmed the trap!", tk_feedback_strref)
     	end
     end
     

     Most of the functions I use here, can be replicated using sprite methods or properties (e.g., share.m_objectType, share.m_trapActivated). What about EEex_DisarmTrap? It again makes use of EEex_Call and EEex_Label and I am not sure how to replicate it.

It would be great if you could help me with this

Thank you again, I truly think this is awesome!
