Lua get:defense from shield [TFS 1.2]

[Aeronx]

First of all, Hello! and thanks for your time.

As the tittle says, im trying to get the defense from the item on the right hand, normally a shield.

I've tried something like this.

local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_HITAREA)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_WEAPONTYPE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_USECHARGES, 1)

function onGetFormulaValues(player, itemType, skill, defense, factor)
    local def = itemType:getSlotPosition(SLOTP_RIGHT):getDefense()
    return -def, -def
end

combat:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_SKILLVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")

function onCastSpell(creature, var)

    return combat:execute(creature, var)
end

i get plenty of errors.. been trying many enums, searched everywhere for an answer, but i couldnt solve it.

The base of this spell is that i want to make the damage based on players current armor or defense (from weapon and shield).

Thanks for your time!

So you want to get the weapons defence, and shield's defence.

Talk a look at ItemType metadata.

itemType:getDefence()
itemType:getExtraDefence()

-- Example to get player's shield's defence.

local shield, defence = player:getSlotItem(CONST_SLOT_RIGHT), 0;
if shield then
    defence = ItemType( shield:getId() ):getDefence() + ItemType( shield:getId() ):getExtraDefense()
end

end

small error.. shield will be 0, e.g 0:getId(), just reverse the assignment, local defense, shield
