Question - Shaman shrink group members

[Mythaniel]

This may be easy, but my search fu is not going well.

I'd like the Shaman to shrink the group, currently only have the single target on TLP. Right now it will just chain cast shrink as it's not a "buff". What am I missing :P

The problem is there is no buff to check for in the buffs window or kissbuffs file. So it will keep casting.

Thanks, was just making sure I wasn't missing something obvious. (it's happened in the past!)

i am adding a |once tag to buffs next version so you can do Shrink|Once

How does KA do it with pets? There must be some string of coding that checks for size. Couldn't this be adapted for a downs or maybe in future KA updates as


selfshrinkon=1,0
shrinkspell=aa/disc/spell/item.
groupshrinkon=1,0
shrinkspell=aa/disc/spell/item.

??

I know nothing about coding or scripting or whatnot other than what I've gleaned from these forums, but I have to belive it to be possible.

so it would only cast it once, and only when you start KA? Or only once each buff check cycle ?

With 16 races - male and female plus all the illusions in the game.

NO

lol

just an idea, but would it be worth it to do a MinSize as well? allow players to set their caster to shrink players till they shrunk no more?

and perhaps to not try to shrink players that don't shrink? (gnomes? etc.)

I'm not trying to make KISS not simple, I'm just offering thoughts on player use cases that might be worth including.

Thanks a bunch Maskoi super helpful.

I'm guessing that shrink is a variable based on race/gender/illusions and probably more... where as depending on whch of many possible variables are on you at that moment determines wheather or not you can or will be shrunk (coding for that might be larger than MQ2 itself..lol)

The AutoSize plugin might be you best option vs doing it manually.
