Ehm..

Yeah, I was wondering if it is possible to tell your summons to perform certain spell attack

For example:

1. Utevo Res "Dragon (DRAGON HAS BEEN SUMMONED)
2. Player executes another spell such as 'Flame Bombs' - this lets the summon know to attack as well
3. Summon will attack target with 'Flame Bombs'

There is no param for getSummons. This is taken from compat.lua
LUA: 
function getCreatureSummons(cid)
    local c = Creature(cid)
    if c == nil then
        return false
    end

    local result = {}
    for _, summon in ipairs(c:getSummons()) do
        result[#result + 1] = summon:getId()

setCombatArea(combat, area)

    local max = (level / 5) + (maglevel * 2) + 12
    return -min, -max
end
setCombatCallback(combat, CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")
function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    if #Player(cid):getSummons() == 0 then
        Player(cid):sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "You do not have any summons.")
        return false
    end

    for i = 1, #Player(cid):getSummons() do
        doCombat(cid, combat, var(Player(cid):getSummons(i)))

    return false -- doCombat(cid, combat, var)

It works.. partially as the summons don't deal any damage nor use spell on target but rather on itself . So I modified that a bit but that doesn't work either

LUA: 
local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, 6)
combat:setFormula(COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -3.2, 1, -5.2, 1)

local area = createCombatArea(AREA_SQUARE1X1)
combat:setArea(area)

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    local player = Player(cid)
    local summons = player:getSummons()

    if #summons == 0 then
        player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "You do not have any summons.")
        return false
    end

    for i = 1, #summons do
        combat:execute(creature, Variant(summons[i]))
    end

    return false
end

not even this

LUA: 
function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    print("refresh")
    local player = Player(cid)
    local summons = player:getSummons()
    local creature = player:getTarget()
   
    if #summons == 0 then
        player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "You do not have any summons.")
        return false
    end
    for i = 1, #summons do
        combat:execute(creature, Variant(summons[i]))
    end
    return false
end

thank you, do you know whether we need to have area specified in order to attack? this:

LUA: 
local area = createCombatArea(AREA_SQUARE1X1)
combat:setArea(area)

without this, I can see the distance effect but the damage does not work :confused:

in regards to your question, instead of createCombatArea(AREA_SQUARE1X1) put createCombatArea({1}) and see what happens
EDIT: sorry for double posting, I thought I was editing the previous one

it works if you do this:

({{1}})

But I just realized the spell only works if the summon is next to target, it doesn't work for distance :confused: in both cases, AREA_SQUARE1X1 and {{1}}

I believe that is a matter of what is in spells.xml but I could be wrong
If not, if all you want is a single target HMM type spell then it can be handled differently

I think this only applies to player, I dunno if I have to change the spell itself, and if so then all the positions will have to be set etc

XML: 
    <instant name="test" words="test" lvl="15" mana="10" prem="0" needtarget="1" range="5" blockwalls="1" exhaustion="2000" needlearn="0" script="test.lua">
       <vocation id="2"/> 
       <vocation id="6"/>
       <vocation id="7"/>
       <vocation id="9"/>
       <vocation id="10"/>
       <vocation id="11"/>
       <vocation id="12"/>
       <vocation id="13"/>
   </instant>

But then again, monsters have their own unique spells:

XML: 
    <instant name="pirate corsair skill reducer" words="###49"  direction="1" aggressive="1" blockwalls="1" needtarget="0" needlearn="1" script="monster/pirate corsair skill reducer.lua"/>
