Lua spell does nothing, no error or anything

[xkevinz]

Here is a spell that I am using and completely nothing happens. I don't use mana and it does nothing and I get no error in console eithier, im using this on 0.4 8.6 which is weird, does anyone know the problem? thankyou if u can help

local range = 5
local bounces = 4
local anim = CONST_ANI_CAKE
local effect = CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE
local combat_type = COMBAT_HEALING

function getPlayerDamage(cid, mina, minb, maxa, maxb, minl, maxl, minm, maxm, minc, maxc)
    local min = (getPlayerLevel(cid) / minl + getPlayerMagLevel(cid) * minm) / 100 * mina + minb
    local max = (getPlayerLevel(cid) / maxl + getPlayerMagLevel(cid) * maxm) / 100 * maxa + maxb
    if(minc and math.abs(min) < math.abs(minc)) then
        min = minc
    end
    if(maxc and math.abs(max) < math.abs(maxc)) then
        max = maxc
    end
    return -math.ceil(math.random(max, min))
end

function attackNextTarget(cid, lastPosition, bounces, ignored, dmg)
    local targets = {}
    for i, tmpTarget in pairs(getSpectators(lastPosition, range, range)) do
        if not(isInArray(ignored, tmpTarget)) and isSightClear(lastPosition, getCreaturePosition(tmpTarget), false) and not(getTileInfo(getCreaturePosition(tmpTarget)).protection) and not(getTileInfo(getCreaturePosition(tmpTarget)).nopvp) and (isPlayer(tmpTarget)) then
            table.insert(targets, tmpTarget)
        end
    end
    if(#targets > 0) then
        local target = targets[math.random(1, #targets)]
        table.insert(ignored, target)
        doSendDistanceShoot(lastPosition, getCreaturePosition(target), anim)
        doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, combat_type, dmg, dmg, effect)
        if(bounces > 0) then
            addEvent(attackNextTarget, 150, cid, getCreaturePosition(target), bounces - 1, ignored, dmg)
        end
    end
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    local target = variantToNumber(var)
    if(isPlayer(target)) then
        local dmg = -getPlayerDamage(cid, 5, 5, 10, 14, 1, 1, 1, 1)
        doSendDistanceShoot(getCreaturePosition(cid), getCreaturePosition(target), anim)
        doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, combat_type, dmg, dmg, effect)
        if(bounces > 0) then
            attackNextTarget(cid, getCreaturePosition(target), bounces - 1, {target}, dmg)
        end
        return true
    end
    return false
end

Change

local target = variantToNumber(var)

To

local target = variantToNumber(var)
if not isPlayer(target) then
     target = getTopCreature(variantToPosition(var)).uid
end

 

[xkevinz]

Change

local target = variantToNumber(var)

To

local target = variantToNumber(var)
if not isPlayer(target) then
     target = getTopCreature(variantToPosition(var)).uid
end

Still does nothing

 

[Limos]

Do you target a player with the spell?

this is my .lua

local range = 5
local bounces = 4
local anim = CONST_ANI_CAKE
local effect = CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE
local combat_type = COMBAT_HEALING

function getPlayerDamage(cid, mina, minb, maxa, maxb, minl, maxl, minm, maxm, minc, maxc)
    local min = (getPlayerLevel(cid) / minl + getPlayerMagLevel(cid) * minm) / 100 * mina + minb
    local max = (getPlayerLevel(cid) / maxl + getPlayerMagLevel(cid) * maxm) / 100 * maxa + maxb
    if(minc and math.abs(min) < math.abs(minc)) then
        min = minc
    end
    if(maxc and math.abs(max) < math.abs(maxc)) then
        max = maxc
    end
    return -math.ceil(math.random(max, min))
end

function attackNextTarget(cid, lastPosition, bounces, ignored, dmg)
    local targets = {}
    for i, tmpTarget in pairs(getSpectators(lastPosition, range, range)) do
        if not(isInArray(ignored, tmpTarget)) and isSightClear(lastPosition, getCreaturePosition(tmpTarget), false) and not(getTileInfo(getCreaturePosition(tmpTarget)).protection) and not(getTileInfo(getCreaturePosition(tmpTarget)).nopvp) and (isPlayer(tmpTarget)) then
            table.insert(targets, tmpTarget)
        end
    end
    if(#targets > 0) then
        local target = targets[math.random(1, #targets)]
        table.insert(ignored, target)
        doSendDistanceShoot(lastPosition, getCreaturePosition(target), anim)
        doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, combat_type, dmg, dmg, effect)
        if(bounces > 0) then
            addEvent(attackNextTarget, 150, cid, getCreaturePosition(target), bounces - 1, ignored, dmg)
        end
    end
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
local target = variantToNumber(var)
if not isPlayer(target) then
     target = getTopCreature(variantToPosition(var)).uid
end
    if(isPlayer(target)) then
        local dmg = -getPlayerDamage(cid, 5, 5, 10, 14, 1, 1, 1, 1)
        doSendDistanceShoot(getCreaturePosition(cid), getCreaturePosition(target), anim)
        doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, combat_type, dmg, dmg, effect)
        if(bounces > 0) then
            attackNextTarget(cid, getCreaturePosition(target), bounces - 1, {target}, dmg)
        end
        return true
    end
    return false
end

and my spells.xml is

    <instant name="Chain Healing" words="chain healing" lvl="10" mana="30" prem="0" range="6" casterTargetOrDirection="1" blockwalls="1" exhaustion="2000" needlearn="0" event="script" value="CustomSpells/Chain Healing.lua">
        <vocation id="5"/>
    </instant>

You can also use

local target = getCreatureTarget(cid)

Then in spells.lua, change casterTargetOrDirection="1" to needtarget="1".

        end
        return true
    end
    return false
end

i have changed the spells.xml and now this is the errors i get when i use it now.
