Freeze on Frost Nova

Post by Wyrmheart1343 » Tue Oct 05, 2021 1:49 pm

How do I make it so that Frost Nova freezes enemies like Ice Blast or Glacial Spike?

I added the elemental type "frze" in missiles.txt like Glacial Spike has, but nothing.
I also tried coping the Ice Blast parameters regarding freeze length in skills.txt but also nothing.

Can you please confirm just for clarity in which version of the game you are attempting to change the skill? You have a duplicate post in both Legacy and in D2:R sections.

I'm actually trying to do this in both versions, the process should be similar. If I can get it to work in one, I'll probably be able to transfer it to the other one.

I tend to work first on LOD, then replicate on Resurrected; but sometimes I do it the other way around.

Since I'm new here, I didn't know where it'd be best to post to get a fast response.

Use psrvdmgfunc=4. I strongly recommend Mishy's missile guide (https://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29595), which is easy to use and straight to the point, only describing the most commonly used missile functions. If you want to know about other missile functions, then I recommend my guide (https://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67114), which is rather messy but describes nearly every missile function in detail, including ways in which missiles affect skills and other oddities.
