#364 Spell Emitter Arrows

[tituss]

Fire, Ice and Vitriol Arrow .py scripts. Derivatives of Rednexela's Petrification and Firebomb arrows.
For some reason the original firebomb arrow didn't work right so I made a change then created these other two versions.

Included is a test map so you can see how they work and copy over any way you'd like.

I like the idea :) But we'll need to figure where to add those arrows and their price, especially vitriol, which is quite powerful.

I think the Python code could be factorised:
- the spell(s) to cast could be in a key in the arrow itself
- this would allow to have only one script instead of 3, and allow other spells
- using a loop would be better than duplicating lines

I can help you change the scripts/patch, or directly add a new version.

I appreciate it. If you even wanted to offer a small example in the comments here that I could go off I can submit a new version.
Also I'm not sure about controlling the magnitude of the spell, perhaps I have to make specific spell archs for the arrows so they're less intense? idk, whatever you think.

Generic script attached, to be put into maps/python/items.

In the arrows themselves (not the event), add a key like arrow_spell 1:spell_burning_hands;1:spell_hellfire or arrow_spell 3:spell_vitriol_splash (format is "cast times:spell archetype;cast times:spell archetype;...).

Modified version of the script applied as r21599.

Added 3 arrow artifacts, with fire, cold and poison spells, in r21601.
