Creating a true heal effect

Dragonfolk2000

So I'm recreating an old mechanic from Rogue where when the player can pick up potions but not know what effects they will have until they've drunk them. I have my own list of effects and so far I've managed to make them work. I've been able to polymorph the drinker, blind them, and create a bunch of useless visual effects so far.

What I'm struggling with is the effect of the Heal spell. Simply put: one of the possible random effects I want to have happen is the effect of the Heal spell. Fully heal the target and remove all debuffs. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I can dispel stuff but I can't make it target debuffs. And I can heal the target using EffectHeal but I need to indicate an amount of heal (which isn't terrible but seems unnecessary).

How would I accomplish this?

That's how the spell does it.

	//Figure out how much to heal
        nHeal = GetMaxHitPoints(oTarget);
        //Set the heal effect
        eHeal = EffectHeal(nHeal);

That doesn't do it. Yeah, it'll heal the hit points but it won't remove things like disease, poison, or other negative status effects.

You're looking for greater restoration: NW_S0_GrRestore.
Just copy what's in that script.

What I was hoping for was that there would already be a thing that wouldn't have to require me to go through every negative effect in the game. It appears I'll need to do that if I want this though. Something like a full heal function that just does it instead of me listing everything bad that can possibly happen.

Here's the code for that from the Neverwinter Nights Newbie FAQ #2 (see Just The FAQs, ma'am) -

    effect eBad = GetFirstEffect(oPlayer);
    
    //Search for negative effects

    while(GetIsEffectValid(eBad))
    {
        if (GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_ABILITY_DECREASE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_AC_DECREASE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_ATTACK_DECREASE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_DAMAGE_DECREASE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_DAMAGE_IMMUNITY_DECREASE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_SAVING_THROW_DECREASE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_SPELL_RESISTANCE_DECREASE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_SKILL_DECREASE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_BLINDNESS ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_DEAF ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_PARALYZE ||
        GetEffectType(eBad) == EFFECT_TYPE_NEGATIVELEVEL)
        {
            //Remove effect if it is negative.

            RemoveEffect(oPlayer, eBad);
        }
        eBad = GetNextEffect(oPlayer);
    }

and combine it with the other code you've already been given (copy and paste it).

Sorry, you said heal spell... Yeah, restoration and friends go through the effects and remove the bad ones. Not sure why that's a problem. That's sort of what scripting is for. You get some basic building blocks and can then assemble whatever you want.

I think this will do it. I can combine this with the aforementioned healing effect to make this work. Against my better judgement I won't be tested each and every one of these.

Open any module and edit any script. Go to open a new script and select All and open "nw_d1_templeheal". It should do exactly what you want, or at least be easy to modify to do what you want.
