Worship Item

The worship item is an object which has the general properties to it, for example the orintation and position. The worship item is eirther a Stone Head or a Vault of Knowledge.

Triggers

Every worship item uses a trigger. Triggers give the properties of a worship item and what happens when it is worshipped. Triggers are placed on the same position as the worship item.

The trigger holds this information about the worship item. After the general information about the object the trigger information continues.

Trigger Types

00 - Proximity (Stone Head or Totem Pole)
01 - Timed  (Usually reoccurring automatic things)
02 - Player Death
03 - Shaman Proximity (Obelisk)
04 - Library (Vault of Knowledge)
05 - Shaman AOD (Gargoyle)

Trigger Example

UByte 01 - 6   : Model: Trigger
UByte 02 - 6   : Type: General
UByte 03 - 0   : Owner
SWord 04 - 0   : Position-X
SWord 06 - 0   : Position-Y
UByte 08 - 0   : Trigger Type: Types listed above
UByte 09 - 1   : Cell Radius 
UByte 10 - 1   : Random Value
SByte 11 - 1   : Number of Occurrences
UWord 12 - 6   : Trigger Count: Number of followers to worship it (1 if it is an obelisk or gargoyle)
UWord 14 -     : 10 Thing idx
...
UWord 34 - 180 : Pray Time in Game Turns
UByte 36 - 0   : Start Inactive
UByte 37 - 0   : Create Player Owned
SWord 38 - 1   : Inactive Time

These are all the settings a trigger has. From the 14th byte to 33 are 10 words containing the effects or discoveries linked to it. A trigger can hold up to 10 effects, the word contains the idx of the effect.

The idx is the initial object count in the dat file. For example you might have 40 objects in the dat file and the 7th object was the effect, the idx would be 7. Then the effect occurs only when the worship object has been worshipped.

Discoveries

Availability Types

0 - Not Available
1 - Permanent (Needed for Vault of Knowledge)
2 - Level
3 - Once 
4 - Discovery

Triggers can be linked to almost anything from discoveries to followers. A discovery is a spell or building that is obtained.

The discovery holds the information about what it gives you.

Byte  01 -   2 Model: Discovery
Byte  02 -   6 Type: General
Byte  03 - 255 (Owned by nobody)
SWord 05 -      Position-X (should be the same as worship item)
Sword 07 -      Position-Y
Byte  08 -  11 Type
Byte  09 -   4 Model
Byte  10 -   3 Availability Type 
Byte  11 -   1 Trigger Type
Long  12 -     Mana Amount

Effects can also be used, see a list of effects above. If no discovery is linked to a Stone Head it will appear as a Totem Pole in the game.

Rising Stone Heads

On some levels Stone Heads can rise when another Stone Head is worshipped. This is done by making another Stone Head with a trigger etc. and then linking the Worship Object and the Trigger to the Trigger that will making it rise.
