Banishment and code trouble
Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 5:28 pm
Ok, I am trying to modify a few spells to banish a player/monsters to a demiplane if they are effected by it. Here is my code, modified from the psionic code.
My trouble is coming from this.. When cast against a single creature (pc or npc) it will banish the creature to the demiplane. If the spell is cast against a group of pc's(hostile or attacking) they will all be banished to the demiplane and each in their seperate 'cage'. If the spell is cast on a group of NPC's(hostile but not attacking) then they will all be banished to the demiplane.
The problem comes here:
If the spell is cast against a group of NPC's(hostile but attacking) then none of them will be banished, not even those that fail the save. If the spell is cast against a group of NPC's with PC's (both hostile and attacking), the PC's will all be banished, but if the NPC count is over 1, then none of the NPC's are banished.
Any ideas?
