SetSpellTargetingData(object, int, int, float, float, int)

Note: This article documents Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition new content or changes/updates/fixes to 1.69 functions. These are all listed under the category and patches pages.

Sets the spell targeting data manually for the player. This data is usually specified in spells.2da.

void SetSpellTargetingData(
    object oPlayer,
    int nSpell,
    int nShape,
    float fSizeX,
    float fSizeY,
    int nFlags
);

Parameters

oPlayer

The player to whom spell targeting data is applied.

nSpell

The spell id for which targeting data is specified, typically a SPELL_* constant.

nShape

A SPELL_TARGETING_SHAPE_* constant.

fSizeX

A dimension related to the specified SPELL_TARGETING_SHAPE_* constant, see description for uses

fSizeY

A dimension related to the specified SPELL_TARGETING_SHAPE_* constant, see description for uses

nFlags

One or more SPELL_TARGETING_FLAGS_* constants. These are bitwise flags, eg for a spell that harms allies, except yourself, use SPELL_TARGETING_FLAGS_HARMS_ALLIES | SPELL_TARGETING_FLAGS_IGNORES_SELF

Description

Sets the spell targeting data manually for the player. This data is usually specified in spells.2da. This data persists through spell casts; you're overwriting the entry in spells.2da for this session. In multiplayer, these need to be reapplied when a player rejoins.

For fSizeX the value should be:

• Cone - length
• hsphere - hollowed radius
• rectangle - length
• sphere - radius

For fSizeY the value should be:

• Cone - unused
• hsphere - end radius
• rectangle - width
• sphere - unused

NB: hsphere is "hollow sphere" or a donut, mainly used for Meteor Swarm.

Remarks

This is useful for altering some of the parameters based on Metamagic, Feats or Abilities a PC has. For instance maybe your Fireball that would be cast has Sculpt Metamagic so doesn't affect allies, thus alter SPELL_TARGETING_FLAGS
