Would it be because it can't be done? Coldstone doesn't support allies fighting for you. Well, it does if you are creating a turn-based game, but since PoG is not a turn based game and this is the PoG webboard, I assume that that will not be considered.
The bottom line is: Coldstone doesn't support allies fighting for you. It cannot be done.

Work on my spells is going well. I already have Chain Lightning, Andromeda, View, and Armageddon created. W00t!

An idea is simply that: an idea. Giving credit to an idea is, while nice, not in any way necessary.
Why? Because how do you know that he hadn't come up with the same, or similar, idea by himself?
Besides which it is one thing to say, "Hey, I have an idea. How about a fireball spell?" And another thing to actually figure out how, codewise, it would work and then make it work.
Intellectual property is much more than, "I could make this... hey, I just thought of an idea so now no one else can use it! It is all mine!" That's just bogus.
Now, if you sat down, figured out everything on how something will work, and then shared it with a developer who wished to use it, then you might have a case. But in a thread where the developer is asking for ideas to use in his own plug-in, you are simply brainstorming. The ideas you come up with he will then need to deconstruct and build himself. Credit is unnecessary unless he chooses to be gracious.
To use an example, when I was creating Spells Expander I was talking with many people. Some I received tangible products from, like straytoaster who came up with the concept of the timer code and I altered and tweaked to fit my needs. I used code that he had developed so regardless of how much I altered and changed his code I still needed to credit him.
However there were people that gave me ideas for spells, quest ideas, etc. These needed not be credited, and weren't, because I still had to flesh them out myself. Many of them I had already come up with but was letting them simmer in my mind as I worked out how they would work.
If you are really interested in keeping an idea soley in your possession, the best way to do that is to not share it. Otherwise share your ideas and be happy that they are included when a new game is released. You know you had input on it; more credit than that, for a simple idea, is not needed.
My 2 cents.

OK. Can you see it ths would work? Have a spell effect 'Caster' and create an Earth Elemental (Enemy) two squares away. Have the Elemental set to 'Wander round original position but don't give it an attack, just a spell. That spell efects 'Allies' at range 0-1. He casts that defensively. It does damage to the 'Allies'. Instant ally. Set his battle instructions to 'Defensive Caster'. Have his death action display a dialog that says 'You dispel the Elemental and fell some of the magic return to you', or something.

The problem with this is 3 fold:
There's a better way: Create a spell that targets all enemies , and heals them. Then add this spell to your "Allies" spellbook. Now he will heal you, but can't be be killed, except if you kill him, so either make him have low MP or low healing rate.
P.S You can make it attack player, when he has run out of MP.

Hey KJK, I got a question about your Plugins. I downloaded your Super Goblin plug-in windows computer, but it seems to not do anything except make a goblin that is stuck in the middle of a small clump of trees that you cannot reach by any spell or bow. Do i have to have the More Goblins plug-in for this one to work? I'm using a Windows computer.
SlaVitiCkus, you, since you are the major cheat plug-in creator, should make a cheat that gives experience. I think that you could give someone a level up cheat if they press some button, because in the Saphirre(sp) at the end you could get a level up.
------------------ PoG,Starcraft, WarcraftIII and EVNova are awsome games. I M A Kid that is very Krayz. I am also very awesome, while u r not. so haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the middle of small clump of trees? It SHOULD add a super strong goblin somewhere in the map(I don't remember where, it was either near the campfire or random spot in the map), so I guess there's a small hole in the trees, where the engine adds the super goblin.
DON'T USE MORE GOBLINS WITH SUPER GOBLIN, OR THE GAME MIGHT CRASH (Those chest are in same coordinates)!!!

To everyone else: I've stopped work on the spells and such due to OS X Coldstone problems. Maybe I'll have something by the end of the week.

I am going to put this out, before when i have used Coldstone, i have made a bow icon, that was only useable by the conjuror and shot nuns, it was not a cheat, but i never published it, so i am saying that, yes it is possible to make a bow for conjuror.
Ideas no lvls srry. :rolleyes:

I realize I am entering this thread very late, however, I had an idea geared towards the original intent of this topic. Why not try to make a spell that would allow the user to set a coordinate to which they could return.
For example: A player enters a deep dungeon that happens to be very difficult. They cast this particular spell at the entrance (because they have already failed in the dungeon a number of times and fear saving in the dungeon risking being forever trapped). This allows them to complete the dungeon mission and at the press of a button, return to that original set coordinate at the entrance rather than backtracking and fighting every foul beast they encounter on the way out.
I suppose there are plenty of ways around this problem as well such as levelling up etc... But there are also other bountiful creative uses to which this spell could be applied.

This has already been done in Stark Bledfast's Spells Expander. The spell is "Recall," if I recall correctly. Actually it involves two spells. The first is "Mark" in which you record the spot to which you wish to return. Here the memory is a little fuzzy, but I believe you could mark up to three spots you would like to get back to, and "Recall" allowed you to chose which spot you wanted to select.
