FS#2035 - buffs applied to characters
it would be nice to be able to apply buffs and debuffs to a player during gm events
/buff [name]area: #] [time to last] [skill buffed/debuffed] [-+ amount]

I like this. The ability to set the (de)buff name would come in handy too (e.g. "Talad's Blessing", "Poison", "Vladovic's potion", etc.). Also, 'all' as a parameter would be good to have (as in with /setskill) and if group parameters like "magic", "combat", "jobs", "stats", etc. are possible then it would be much better.
ok lets redo the command one more time
/buff [name|area: #] [time to last] [skill buffed/debuffed] [-+amount] [name of buff to appear in active magic window]
if not too hard would be nice to add the existing magic buffs to the list.
New.
Buffs/Debuffs are specified in a mathscript AFAIK. From what I understand Dajoji is thinking of a command that actually sets the buff instead only triggers, which also might be possible but would require a different command.
Right now the only debuff I am aware of is the death curse.
It's possible to add to that list, but that's tricky right now.
The syntax I have in mind for this feature is
/buff [target|name] [time] [name of buff] [additional set of variables]
About the parameters:
name is clear, target is not only selecting but also can be used via area function which now GM4 also have access to.
time is also trivial to understand, since all buffs are time based.
name of buff is what is being called from the list of available ones (as said, they are fixed).
It might be that a specific buff requires more than two parameters (time and target), which would be provided here.
So what you're saying is we wouldn't have event specific (de)buffs? I.e. with names based on the event script? From what I understand from Kerol's post is that we would have to pick from a limited list, which at the moment cannot be modified (so basically we could only use the existing buffs/debuffs). Is that right?
that is what kerol is saying that is _not_ what i proposed, though i think we should get input from talad on how he thinks it should be done.
Regarding
FS#2111I think the area:: function should be enhanced to not only work with a range but also with a map argument to apply the specified command to a whole map and instance .Additionally I am thinking of a time:: function which could be used to apply the specified command over a given amount of time, every second (if not applied already).
As example:
/buff area:map taver_de_kadel:players time:600:1 antimagic 10
would apply the command for 600 seconds to everyone in the tavern, every second. The buff would stick 10 seconds, so if they leave, it wears off shortly after.
Both additions may be split into new feature requests if needed.
The point of
FS#2111was to keep things simple. /antimagic [here|target] could be the default and prevent a person from casting spells 30 minutes or so. Additional parameters could be specified but as an optional thing. That would make it easier to control a crowd quickly. Having an overcomplicated command increases chances of screwing up.
