Hey there ! It's me again.

I take you all have finished the NWN campaign once before. Does any of you remember those pile of corpses getting burned when using a torch at the very beginning of the plague issue ? So my question would be: is that possible to implement that "usable" thing to a PLC item ? I would like to request a pyre to burn heretics. You could say "use that combustion spell on something", but my paladin toon doesn't have UMD.

So, is that possible to implement "usable" PLC things, like clicking to use it would result in combustion visual effect as we we saw in NWN campaign ?

Thank you !

I would like to see a torch item that has a use ability which combusts people.

Well, first I'm trying to find out a PLC pyre. But there is nothing so far even in NWN vault. I have to confess I'm a little bit confused in there. But so far, nothing.

It's called "Plague Victim Pyre" and is under the Battlefield category.

I don't see why you cant request one of those and a flame PLC. You don't need any fancy on-use gizmo, just put the flame PLC down on top of it when you write *Burns the witch!*.

Hmm.... actually it's a great idea ! There is a big flame in the tool set ! You're a genius ! Just a few logs around and a stake. Mhm. I'll post a picture and you guys could tell me what you think.

How about this ? 8 PLCs (3 pilelogs, 4 flames, 1 banner)
Is that possible to "place" the fire after plotting the pyre without compromising the PC and PLC position ?

Putting your own flag on top of a fire is silly.

Sharina will come back and burn you herself if you set aflame her precious banners.

I got the bloody stake now. Behold ! Every necromancer will wish to be there ! (8 PLCs)

But my question would be if it's possible to "cast" the fire after placing the pyre.

Anyway, I'll take this to the Request forum.

This is only possible (for those fire PLCs) if you have someone else do it with fire-only PLCs, or if you have two separate sets of PLCs - one with and one without fire. You'd have to remove the non-fire one and put out the with-fire one afterward. That's quite a bit more pricey, but I'm afraid it's all we have!

Thank you all ! Well, indeed that's what I'm thinking about: two separate sets of PLC. But one with the non-fire on and another one with fire-assembled. If the fire-assembled works as the misty fog, then it could hit the same space as the woodpile.

Hit the same space as the woodpile? I'm not sure what you mean by that! You can only have one set of PLCs from a PLC spawner widget out at a time, per character. That's why you would have to have two sets of the entire set-up, one with fire and one without. If that's what you were referring to then sorry! I just didn't read it right!

(Unless the one-at-a-time thing's been fixed... Wouldn't be the first time I'm outdated!)

Oh, crap... you're right ! Now I remember I can't set the misty fog and the red circle at the same time.

However, I can place a candle produced by a candle maker and the PLC misty fog. Also you can place more then one candle at the same time, if I recall well.
