How do I spawn items with a spell?

I try to make a spell which spawns an item. But all I get is a very ugly way to exit Grimrock(Program shuts down if the onCast function is executed). What do I do wrong?
The Idea is to be able to select a hero with this item, so effects can take place.
Code: Select all
defineSpell{
name = "Spawn_it",
uiName = "Shmendrik",
skill = "spellcraft",
level = 1,
runes = "EF",
manaCost = 20,
onCast = function(caster, x, y, direction, skill)
setMouseItem(spawn(healwave_item))
end
}

I haven't played with this myself, but I can at least point out that the spawn function should have a string as its first argument:
Code: Select all
setMouseItem(spawn("healwave_item"))

Keep in mind that any mouse-held item will be overridden if you use setMouseItem.

U need to have quotes around the item you want to spawn in the string.
Example: setMouseItem(spawn("snail_slice"))
end
yer missing those quotes ", otherwise you got it right !
