Wishmaster Spell HUD

Wishmaster | Table of Contents

Introduction

Wishmaster is a comprehensive spell-casting HUD offering a robust arsenal of magical abilities for both dedicated roleplayers and casual users. Designed from the ground up by professional artists and developers, Wishmaster combines an original API with an intuitive interface, resulting in a tool that is both powerful and easy to use.

This guide covers all major features and functions. Reference it as needed.

Features

  • Easy to Use: Adaptive smart HUD that scales with your screen resolution.
  • Auto-Cleanup: Spell objects and effects are automatically removed when you log out, leave the sim, or after 60 seconds—or on command.
  • Low-Lag, No Bloat: Highly optimized, with average script time of 0.02ms. Wishmaster will not cause lag for you or others in any region.
  • Expandable: Extend your arsenal instantly with 1-click expansion packs.
  • Multiple Casting Options: Target avatars, objects, or use your camera for precise casting.
  • Unlimited Range: Cast from any location within the region.

Roleplay Mode (Safe Mode): Toggle push effects on or off to prevent spells from disturbing other avatars—ideal for RP environments.

Getting Started

You receive a magical lamp containing the powerful Djinn known as the Wishmaster. Upon release, the Wishmaster offers you his grimoire—unlocking a wide range of wizardly powers.

Unpacking

  1. Rez the Wishmaster's Lamp.
  2. Left click to begin the unboxing sequence.
  3. Accept the Wishmaster’s offer.
  4. Attach the HUD to your viewer.

Attachment Points

Wishmaster attaches by default to the TOP-RIGHT corner of your screen, but can be moved to TOP-LEFT, BOTTOM-RIGHT, or BOTTOM-LEFT.

If you try to move the HUD, it will snap back to its corner. This is intentional—Wishmaster dynamically adapts to your viewer's aspect ratio, so moving it is treated as resizing your window.

HUD Navigation

The Index Page

The Index Page functions as your spellbook’s table of contents, listing all available spell chapters.

Click anywhere on the HUD background (not on a button) to return to the Index Page.

Spell Chapters

Wishmaster contains over 60 spells and variants, organized into seven thematic chapters. Each chapter groups spells by type (e.g., Elemental).

Click a chapter name to view the spells within that chapter.

If a chapter has many spells (e.g., Eldritch), both sides of the spellbook will be displayed. Otherwise, only one page is shown.

## Minimizing

From the Index Page, click anywhere on the background (not a button) to hide the HUD and show a small icon. Click the icon to restore the HUD.

Note: You can only minimize Wishmaster from the Index Page. Clicking the background elsewhere will return you to the Index.

## HUD Configuration

Adjusting the Size

Change the HUD size using the following command and size declaration:

Available sizes: small, medium, large
Example: /9 hud size large

Specify a numeric size directly if desired:
Example: /9 hud size 0.2

Default HUD size is medium (approximately 0.35). Adjust as needed—Wishmaster will scale accordingly.

Changing the Command Channel

Wishmaster commands are issued on channel 9 by default (e.g., /9 dispel).

Change the channel with: /9 hud channel #
Example: /9 hud channel 4 allows you to use /4 dispel.

Casting Spells

There are several ways to cast spells with Wishmaster.

From the HUD

  1. Click the name of the spell you want to cast.
  2. Select the target from the dropdown menu.

The Camera

When using the CAMERA option, spells cast directly in front of where your camera is focused.

To aim with your camera, ALT+CLICK on your intended target before casting. A brief targeting reticle will confirm your aim.

Using Commands

All spells (except elementals) can be cast via command. Macro these in gestures or type them manually.

By default, use channel 9; if you’ve changed the channel, use that instead.

Command Format: /9 spell target
Examples:

  • /9 teleport torley — Teleports you to the avatar Torley.
  • /9 bless torley — Casts Bless on Torley.

Some spells only cast on yourself and do not require a target:

  • /9 astral — Casts Astral Projection.

Some spells support additional variations (color, theme, effect):

  • /9 teleport torley shadow
If a spell requires a target but none is specified, you will be prompted to select one. You can type partial names for spells, variants, and targets. Example: `/9 expl dum` casts **Explosion** on a nearby target whose name begins with "dum".

Example: /9 tele tor ener teleports you to "Tor(ley)" using the "energize" variant.

Ending Active Spells

To terminate an active spell, click its name on the HUD or use the command:

/9 dispel

This removes all active magic you’ve cast from the sim.

Spells automatically dispel if:

  • The caster logs out
  • The caster leaves the region
  • The spell is active more than 60 seconds
  • The spell crosses into a parcel where scripts or rezzing are disallowed
