VersusAlignmentEffect

VersusAlignmentEffect(effect, int, int)

Set eEffect to be versus a specific alignment.

effect VersusAlignmentEffect(
    effect eEffect,
    ALIGNMENT_ALL,
    ALIGNMENT_ALL
);

Parameters

eEffect

nLawChaos

ALIGNMENT_LAWFUL/ALIGNMENT_CHAOTIC/ALIGNMENT_ALL (Default: ALIGNMENT_ALL )

nGoodEvil

ALIGNMENT_GOOD/ALIGNMENT_EVIL/ALIGNMENT_ALL (Default: ALIGNMENT_ALL )

Description

Returns an effect modified in such a way as to be versus a specific alignment only. Uses the ALIGNMENT_ constants to define which scales to use.

Remarks

This is a pretty handy function when creating spell effects or special items to be used against (or by) a certain alignment or group of alignments. Notice that it expects two ALIGNMENT_ constants as parameters. If you wanted it to affect Chaotic Evil alignments only, you would set the first alignment parameter to ALIGNMENT_CHAOTIC and the second parameter to ALIGNMENT_EVIL. If you wanted it to affect all GOOD aligned creatures, you set the first parameter to ALIGNMENT_ALL (since it does not matter if they are chaotic or lawful for this effect) and the second parameter to ALIGNMENT_GOOD.

Known Bugs

This function do not work with several effects. There is no change if an effect from list below is put into this function:
EffectDamageShield
EffectEthereal
EffectSanctuary
EffectSeeInvisible
EffectTrueSeeing
EffectUltravision
and possibly others...

Version

1.22

Example

// Give the target of the spell an armor class increase of 1 by
// boosting his Dodge ability against all types of attacks only if 
// the target is Chaotic Evil in alignment
 
void main(){
    effect eBonusToApply = EffectACIncrease(1, AC_DODGE_BONUS, AC_VS_DAMAGE_TYPE_ALL);
    eBonusToApply = VersusAlignmentEffect(eBonusToApply, ALIGNMENT_CHAOTIC, ALIGNMENT_EVIL);
    object oTargetOfSpell = GetSpellTargetObject();
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eBonusToApply, oTargetOfSpell, 60.0);
}
