ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

code from:

newTalent{
name = "Stone Golem",

copied from wild-gift/summon-melee

without changing it (name changed of course).

AND I added in the class code the same code that wilder summoners have:

getStatDesc = function(stat, actor)
if stat == actor.STAT_CUN then
return "Max summons: "..math.floor(actor:getCun()/10)
end
end,

BUT it still breaks the game completely as soon as the level loads, and it fills the log with like 40 pages of:

The line causing the error is the checkmaxsummon from

on_pre_use = function(self, t, silent)
if not self:canBe("summon") and not silent then game.logPlayer(self, "You cannot summon; you are suppressed!") return end
return not checkMaxSummon(self, silent)
end,


So, if the talent is copied, and the code from the class that uses it is copied, what else do I need to do?

The checkMaxSummon function from wilder.lua?

?
yes wilder.lua is where this is from.

getStatDesc = function(stat, actor)
if stat == actor.STAT_CUN then
return "Max summons: "..math.floor(actor:getCun()/10)
end
end,


i dont see another function there, except a locked and a particles.

Oops, I meant gifts.lua.

ah thanks, so it was hidden over there, ok.

seems to work. but probably best to make it summon like the time hounds instead. golem wimp dies in a couple hits on ID 1.
