TFS 1.X+ Spell that can only attack a certain Monster

[kozmo]

Need a Spell that can only be used on a event zombie Monster, no other players or creatures.

 

[Sarah Wesker]

exactly what TFS are you using? 1.2, 1.3 ?

 

[kozmo]

1.3

if variant:getName() ~= "Zombie" then
return false
end

 

[kozmo]

if variant:getName() ~= "Zombie" then
return false
end

Where do you place this inside here?

local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_FIREATTACK)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_FIRE)

function onGetFormulaValues(player, level)
    local min = (level / 5) + (level * 4.4) + 8
    local max = (level / 5) + (level * 8.2) + 14
    return -min, -max
end

combat:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")

function onCastSpell(creature, var)
    return combat:execute(creature, var)
end

Error with that.

 

[oen432]

     local variant = Variant(var)
     if variant:getName() ~= "Zombie" then
          return false
     end

What? That makes no sense, var is already type of Variant and Variant:getName is not a thing.

Either var:getNumber() or creature:getTarget().

function onCastSpell(creature, var)
    local target = Creature(var:getNumber()) -- try to get target from variant
    if not target then
        target = creature:getTarget() -- if no target from variant, get it from caster
        if not target then
            return false
        end
    end
   
    if target:getName() ~= "Zombie" then -- check target name
        return false
    end
   
    return combat:execute(creature, var)
end

Thank you @oen432
This line 6 "retrun false" I removed and then it worked.

What?
Ohh, it's supposed to be return not retrun, edited.

Retrun? What? That makes no sense. retrun is not a thing.
