A function with a param spell

[Siegh]

Ive been trying to script something related to a param spell (such as exura sio, which requires a name between " " to work). The problem is, I cant find a way to reach the target of the spell, since its not by normal targetting (right clicking).

My request is that someone please make this below work, since I will use it as a base to the most variated scripts. Remember, getCreatureTarget won't work.

onCastSpell(cid, var)

doPlayerSendTextMessage(xxx, 22, "Hi")

return true
end

Thanks in advance!

PS: I might have posted this in the wrong section, but Im not sure.

try like:
put that into your spells.xml

params="1"

then do it like:

onCastSpell(cid, var)

doPlayerSendTextMessage(getCreatureByName(var), 22, "Hi")

return true
end

If you set params="1" at spells, then the var in your function will reflect the param.

just looked it up at sources, should be working.


kind regards, Evil Hero.

It isnt working, the console still says ''Player not found''

Thoughts?

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
	return doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 22, "msg")
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
	return doPlayerSendTextMessage(var, 22, "msg")
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
if (isPlayer(cid)) then
 doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 22, "msg")
end
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
if (isPlayer(cid)) then
 doPlayerSendTextMessage(var, 22, "msg")
end
end

Try these.... if they dont work.... You can make it a talkaction, it will work just the same.

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
if (param == "spell words") then
t = string.explode(param,",")

t[1] = target

if (isPlayer(target)) then
   doPlayerSendTextMessage(target, 22, "msg")
else
  doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You must type the name of a player to use this spell!")
return false
end
end
end

If you want a multi worded spell it may have to be configured differently.

The spell forms didnt worked, and yes, Im aware I can do them as talkactions. But since Id implement this on many spells already done, I wouldnt like to change them all into talkactions. Seems like I will have to leave this idea behind.

Thanks for trying though.

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    local target = variantToNumber(var)
    if isCreature(target) then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(target, 22, "Hi")
    end
    -- doCombat?
    return true
end
