Stacking slows

<< < (2/2)

I understood that. The last-5-seconds and every-5-seconds are a hack around needing to remove the slow on unequip.

I still don't understand.

schlumpf:
I'm not an expert in spell hackery. The point is:

If auras can stack if of the same spell ID, create an aura A that adds -10% speed per stack.

Every item Ix applies one stack of aura A on equip. Since I don't know how to remove stacks on unequip, my hack would be that aura A has a duration of 5 seconds, and thus, the on-equip effect of item Ix is periodically reapplying aura A.

That way, it is constantly refreshing a slowing aura, and since multiple items cast that aura, it stacks. As soon as an item is unequipped, it stops applying the aura, thus makes you faster again.

It could totally works of course.

The thing is he'll have to apply the aura to each plate items he want it to be effective.

edit : For the note, you could even make the aura visible to the player but hide the duration for it to not being obnoxious (it's a spell flag) to show the effect of "why I am slowed down", simple QoL addition tho.
