A summon that heals it´s summoner

[dhrsantan]

So I had this idea of making a summonable monster that would heal the player that has summoned it.
i.e like the exura sio spell for druids.

any thoughts on how this would be doable?

Mhmm I'm no scripter, but I'd say you should create a healing spell in mass like mas sio, then set an amount of mana for your summon, if it's possible, then a chance to cast this spell.

There is a problem on this thing, that the monster you're attacking will be healed aswell.

You could also create a healing spell that would work like an exori vis (I'm talking about 7.x verisons, so that the spell will be cast at the direction your summon is looking at), and as long as you stay there you'll be healed.

Notice that there is also a problem on this one, since the monster will walk with you, standing always 1 sqm away from you, if there isn't something blocking its way. The normal formulas will only keep your summon locked when you use the follow option.

Well, It has to be possible but I don't have much time left atm

This is how far I'm now:

(Most of the scripts are made by Shadowsong)

Edit:

Works now.

What Tfs version did you test this on?
I think I'll try to make it work tonight when I've got some time to setup a development server

Thanks for the amazing work on it so far. It will give me more than just a headstart on this

 

[LordVissie]

I tested it on 0.3.6, and no problem.

 

[dhrsantan]

Alright, I'll test tonight
