local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_BURSTARROW)
local level = getPlayerLevel(cid)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_DAMAGE, -50-level, 0, -100-(level*2), 0)

Here's the exact error it shows:

PHP: 
local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_BURSTARROW)

function onUseWeapon(cid, var)
local level = getPlayerLevel(cid)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_DAMAGE, -50-level, 0, -100-(level*2), 0)
return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end

CombatObjects are loaded as soon as the server is starting up, you cannot define those objects in functions, instead you have to do it beforehand and THEN execute them via doCombat()
Should look like this:
LUA: 
local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_BURSTARROW)
local level = getPlayerLevel(cid)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_DAMAGE, -50-level, 0, -100-(level*2), 0)

function onUseWeapon(cid, var)
	return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end
But there's still something missing, it won't work either.

Aight,
you'd have to use fixed values for
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_DAMAGE, -500, 0, -1000, 0)
then it'll work, like
LUA: 
local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_BURSTARROW)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_DAMAGE, -500, 0, -1000, 0)
 
function onUseWeapon(cid, var)
	return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end
That'll work, but with fixed values though...
No clue how to involve the playerLevel ...

Try that:
LUA: 
local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_BURSTARROW)

function getCombatFormulas(cid, lv, maglv)
    local formula_min = (lv+50)
    local formula_max = ((lv*2)+100)

    if(formula_max < formula_min) then
        local tmp = formula_max
        formula_max = formula_min
        formula_min = tmp
    end
    return formula_min, formula_max
end 
setCombatCallback(combat, CALLBACK_FORMULA_DAMAGE, "getCombatFormulas")
function onUseWeapon(cid, var)
	return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end
I'm laughing my ass off if that works xD
I suck at spells and such...
