Pre-AOS Spell Channeling Order/Chaos Sheilds!

Well, on my shard I wanted SC Order/Chaos sheilds (an corp teh parry mages) and it's Pre-AOS, so I thought I'd share how I did that.

1. Open up Scripts/Spells/Base/Spell.cs

2. Find

					TimeSpan castDelay = this.GetCastDelay();

					if ( m_Caster.Body.IsHuman )
					{
						int count = (int)Math.Ceiling( castDelay.TotalSeconds / AnimateDelay.TotalSeconds );

						if ( count != 0 )
						{
							m_AnimTimer = new AnimTimer( this, count );
							m_AnimTimer.Start();
						}

						if ( m_Info.LeftHandEffect > 0 )
							Caster.FixedParticles( 0, 10, 5, m_Info.LeftHandEffect, EffectLayer.LeftHand );

						if ( m_Info.RightHandEffect > 0 )
							Caster.FixedParticles( 0, 10, 5, m_Info.RightHandEffect, EffectLayer.RightHand );
					}

					if ( ClearHandsOnCast )

and right below it add

if( m_Caster.FindItemOnLayer( Layer.TwoHanded ) is ChaosShield || m_Caster.FindItemOnLayer( Layer.TwoHanded ) is OrderShield )
						{
							
						} 
						else 
						{
							m_Caster.ClearHands();
						}

NOTE: Replace your m_Caster.ClearHands(); with this.

3. Find

if ( m_Scroll is BaseWand )
				{
					bool m = m_Scroll.Movable;

					m_Scroll.Movable = false;

					if ( ClearHandsOnCast )

and replace the m_Caster.ClearHands(); with

if( m_Caster.FindItemOnLayer( Layer.TwoHanded ) is ChaosShield || m_Caster.FindItemOnLayer( Layer.TwoHanded ) is OrderShield )
						{
							
						} 
						else 
						{
							m_Caster.ClearHands();
						}

4. A little lower you'll find (like 3 lines down)

			m_Scroll.Movable = m;
				}
				else
				{

replace the m_Caster.ClearHands(); with

						if( m_Caster.FindItemOnLayer( Layer.TwoHanded ) is ChaosShield || m_Caster.FindItemOnLayer( Layer.TwoHanded ) is OrderShield )
						{
							
						} 
						else 
						{
							m_Caster.ClearHands();
						}

5. Save your script, and restart your server, and your Order/Chaos shields are SC!

Hope this helps some people, if you have any questions, just post em here, or PM me.

There is a much saner way of doing this, by editing the item class instead. This avoids exceptionally long if statements, and means you don't have to edit Spell.cs every time.

Simply use the following in your item code.

		public override bool AllowEquipedCast( Mobile from ) 
		{ 
			return true;
		}
