Any way to make a potion to Force Rest?

  Clone an existing potion to cast a new spell. In the spell script, the ForceRest() command will do exactly what you want.

  I can't figure out how to apply the ForceRest thing. This is the script I made with Lilac Soul's Script Generator:
  

  /*   Script generated by

  void main()
  {
  object oPC;
  
  if (!GetIsPC(GetItemActivatedTarget())
  ){
  
  SendMessageToPC(GetItemActivator(), "Improper use of item!");
  return;}
  
  oPC = GetItemActivator();
  
  object oTarget;
  oTarget = oPC;
  
  
  }
  

  I put the void ForceRest (object oCreature) all over the script but couldn't get it to work. Also, I used UniquePower: Self Only on the potion itself.

  Create a potion with unique use.
  
  The tag needs to match the script name. So for example, put tag: force_rest_pot
  
  Then in script: force_rest_pot [.nss] try this:
  

  #include "x2_inc_switches"
  
  void main()
  {
      int nEvent = GetUserDefinedItemEventNumber();
  
      if (nEvent == X2_ITEM_EVENT_ACTIVATE) 
      {
          object oPlayer = GetItemActivator();
          //object oItem = GetItemActivated();
          ForceRest(oPlayer);
      }
  
  
  SetExecutedScriptReturnValue(X2_EXECUTE_SCRIPT_END);
  }
  
  

  
  
  
  
  edit:
  
  You also need this switch enabled (typically OnModuleLoad event) :
  

  SetModuleSwitch(MODULE_SWITCH_ENABLE_TAGBASED_SCRIPTS, TRUE);

  It worked! Thank you so much. I'm trying to learn scripting, but it's hard for me and I suck so thanks again!

  I decided to use a Misc. Small item for this instead of a potion, and it still works great. My reasoning behind this is casters should be able to pump out their spells the same way a fighter class pumps out melee attacks.
  
  It is quite a step away from official D&D rules, but it's gonna be fun!

  It may be because you're using a potion rather than an item to execute it. Potion use might not be firing and setting variables the way you're expecting for an item script. When I did this I used an item script with an item that had a potion-like appearance, and a regular "use unique" (so that it could be used to target anyone the player wanted).
