Looking around the forum I saw how thanks to some custom commands now we can "throw" gobs at a long distance with a spell and how we can potentially attach an NPC to another through scripting. But now I have been wondering if as a private server we may ever be able to make items or GOBS into spells like Blizz does.

What I mean by that is letting players cast spells that allows them to use an item as a visual effect like many retail spells do for NPC, below I have some examples, one of a GOB on a player model's back and one of a item (shield) being just a visual effect and not an equitable.

I didn't post this yet in suggestions mostly because I wanna know if this is even possible to achieve with items and gobs of the player's choice or I am just overestimating the power of modding.

Idk what you mean with this "make items or GOBS into spells like Blizz does"

He refers to the command .set missile which allows you to spawn gobjects in a point & click fashion.

He wants to know whether it is possible to create, through a site or game command feature, spells that spawn items visuals attached to the character model; such as a spell that gives you a shield on the back but without you requiring to equip the actual item. Or spells that spawn gobjects, such as the spell that creates a barrel of ale in whatever location you click in whilst casting it.

Only problem with gobject-spawning spells is that they can be easily abused unless there's a countermeasure against it.

[Hey Its Kaza]

bruh that shield is just another visual spell, what you mean?

I mean making more of visual spells like this shield, but with items of our choosing.

You are right...maybe it can just be done with equipable items such as shields and weapons?
