This one is I think interesting and expandable. BTW I use Bramage as my IMM. This is not just a new summon spell but a variable summon spell. You can set multiple mobs and randomize the summons.
Code:
In spells.h at the bottom of your spells list add
#define SPELL_SUMMON_ALLY 70 /* Summon random ally for caster Bramage */
Next in spell_parser.c
/* Summon Ally Spell Bramage */
spello(SPELL_SUMMON_ALLY, "summon ally", 80, 65, 5, POS_STANDING,
TAR_IGNORE, FALSE, MAG_SUMMONS, "A glowing portal appears, what will come out?");
Finally in magic.c in the summon section.
#define MOB_ALLY_WOLF 631 /**< vnum for Summon Ally Spell */
#define MOB_ALLY_RAVEN 632 /**< vnum for Summon Ally Spell */
#define MOB_ALLY_IMP 633 /**< vnum for Summon Ally Spell */
A little further down
/* Summon Ally spell, randomly returns a mob */
case SPELL_SUMMON_ALLY:
msg = 4; /* Whatever floats your boat */
fmsg = rand_number(2, 6); /* Random failure message */
switch (rand_number(1, 3)) {
case 1:
mob_num = MOB_ALLY_WOLF;
break;
case 2:
mob_num = MOB_ALLY_RAVEN;
break;
case 3:
mob_num = MOB_ALLY_IMP;
break;
default:
mob_num = MOB_ALLY_WOLF; /* Fallback */
}
pfail = 0; /* Spell always succeeds, no materials needed */
break;
I am not a fan of materials to summon. Just me. You can look at summon clone and see where to add in materials.
Finally at the bottom of the summoning
#undef MOB_ALLY_WOLF
#undef MOB_ALLY_RAVEN
#undef MOB_ALLY_IMP
Don't forget to make 3 new MOBs for this. You can obviously change the names and adjust the starts to your hearts content. I think that is everything
As normal No disclaimers or claims of it working on your MUD.
Peace Love and Pizza!
