This spell replaces the standard Bioware Time Stop which affects the entire module. This Time Stop will only affect a specified area around the caster in meters. Duration and Area of Affect are easily cusomizable within the script itself. I've included a test module so you can see how it works. Be sure to cast familiars, summons, etc. to get a good feel. Also the rar has an importable .erf file, as well as, the script itself and a readme file. This is the latest version of my popular Time Stop spell. This version is basically a bunch of bug fixes and a visual improvement. This Time Stop version will not affect the caster's summons, animal companions, familiars, or the first henchman. It also will stop creatures with Immunity to Mind affecting. Also changed the look of the spell so it looks nearly exactly like Bioware's with how the creatures look when stopped.

A little jewel! Even now in 2011.
However the visual effect no longer looks appropriate since nwn 1.69
Monsters just froze without any visual effects.
Also was missing the spell hook system, I re-added it.
I modified the visual effect to give monsters a blueish-green aura effect.
Here's my modified version:

How about the situation where another enemie walks into the radius AFTER the effect has been applied?
In other words, any plans to make it a AoE effect in the future?

Did several tests with familiars and summons and server running. Scripts worked fine, no crashes. Scripts did not freeze the familiars as is intended, it only froze the enemies.
Was not able to reproduce your crash... I would check it again and perhaps tell me exactly what you are doing.
The file has been updated. Now includes a test mod, importable erf, the script, & readme.
You can try the test mod and everything now works correctly.

Sorry - been away from NWN for a while and am just getting back.
I just edditted the spell and made it much more efficien. I still have to run test on it tonight, hopefully will post new version Monday.
The new version will not stop Familiars, Animal Companions, 1 Hencman (not setup for multiple henchman), and summons. All other PC's and Monsters will be stopped.
Also - updated the animations - so the creatures won't just stand there like before - they will actually look like they were frozen in time (like how Bioware's Timestop looks).

There are a couple of problems with this script. Creatures with immunity to mind spells are not affected by this. Additionally when the domination wears off, your character will do something random and stupid.
Just a quick suggestion, you should post it as a file not a code or both so they have the option, erfs are easier to import and uncompress than the code, easier is better

Ha, I upped a timestop script same time you did. Now people will have a choice how they want their timestop to work.
