Mages…

[Hex]

Are mages supposed to be able to attack each other?
On my game mages can only heal each other, and can only attack NPCs. Even when targeting other players, it just says cannot cast spell or something like that….

Is this normal? Is there a script I need? Is it impossible? Or is my game just strange?

Sorry what I meant is, they can only heal other players. Mages can do anything to NPCs.

Also, can you make NPCs use magic? Or arrows?

How do you attach spells to characters at the start of the game? I'm using a mage class as well.

Make sure your maps aren't safe zone. On Safe Zone maps attack spells won't work on players.

This should work automatically. You are using the default spell system and not scripted, right?

[Mellico]

default as in the spell editor in the client?

[Hex]

Well…
I am using the default magic, I am using the attacking spells in a No death penalty area, and there isn't anything else un-normal...

I think players can attack other players on the "arena" tiles right? I'm not sure though, and you can items (e.g. swords, arrows, armor) for certain classes, I think. So if you make a mage class, you could make the equips for the specific class, right? I'm not sure though.

Yes you can make the equips for the class. But I want the class to have a set of starting spells. So how can I assign a spell for right when they start playing without picking the spell book up?

Are your mages lower than level 10 (or the minPK level)?
Is the mage trying to attack an owner/admin/moderator/mapper or someone with access>0?

[Mellico]

They attack fine once they get the skill but I want them to start with the skill not have to get the spellbook.

Set the map Alignment to None instead of No Death Penalty and see if that helps. I think No Death Penalty is basically the same as Safe Zone for an odd reason.

He's wanting Start-up Items.

Not start up items I want to class to start with the spell without having to make the items.Such as mage starts with fire, warrior starts with rage. ETC without using items at start up.

So right when you make your character you and go out and fire ball something. so to speak.

Call SetPlayerSpell(index, SLOT, Number)

No Death Penalty means you can kill, but no EXP or item loss.

I haven't tried this yet so I will.

And it does not work when the map is on "None".

What file do i have to edit with that line of code?

[Ruins of Hell]

OnNewChar. You have to change SLOT to a free slot (1 probably) and Number to the spell's number.

Ok, Mellico wants starting itmes, but I want to know why my mages can't attack each other.
