Lua attempt to call global 'getPlayerWeapon' (a nil value)

[Black Reaper]

function setDamage(cid, skill, damage)
	local skill = getPlayerSkill(cid, 4)

	local damage = getItemAttack(getPlayerWeapon(cid).uid)
	
	local min = (skill * damage * .09 * 2) * -1
	local max = (skill * damage * .09 * 2) * -1
    return min, max
end

Wrote this for the damage formula of a spell, could anyone help me out?

 

[Zuma Master]

So, if I understood properly,
Your server is printing "attempt to call global 'getPlayerWeapon' (a nil value)"?
In that case, your distribution does NOT have a function that goes by the name "getPlayerWeapon".
It has nothing to do with your damage formula.

 

[Black Reaper]

It does the same thing for my formula using getPlayerMagicLevel(cid). Which I know is there. I'm using TFS 0.2.15. I'm completely mind boggled lol.

Here is an entire spell script.

local combat = createCombatObject()

arr = {
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}






}
local area = createCombatArea(arr)
setCombatArea(combat, area)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_FIREATTACK)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_FIRE)

function setDamage(cid)
	local skill = getPlayerMagicLevel(cid)
	local min = 50 + (skill * 2) * -1
	local max = 50 + (skill * 1.8) * -1
    return min, max
end

setCombatCallback(combat, CALLBACK_PARAM_SKILLVALUE, "setDamage")

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
	return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end

getPlayerMagLevel(cid)

 

[Black Reaper]

Oh my, I'm an idiot. Thanks. Now the spell does no damage but I should be able to hash that out. Guh.

 

[Limos]

Use - in the local min/max, so -50 -(skill * 2).

 

[Black Reaper]

@Limos I got it working thanks

Kind of off-topic but I don't want to make a new thread. I noticed the most recently released subversion is missing some of the functions I've run across. Are these available with w/e is released with donator status? Specifically getItemAttack, getPlayerWeapon?

 

[Zuma Master]

Are you speaking about 0.2.15?
That distribution is a "Stability>Options" type of thing.
You will find much more missing functions than those two.
You may not use mods.
You may not use a "lib" folder.

EDIT: That's AFAIK ofcourse. I do not use 0.2.15, so I may be mislead.

 

[Black Reaper]

Oh, I've haven't been around in a long time so I'm kinda hazy on whats been going on. Which version would you recommend that is "stable" and still has those options, I don't care as long as it's 9.6+

 

[Zuma Master]

You see, that is the problem.
TFS 0.2-based distributions are the only non-premium distributions available that support Tibia 9.0+

 

[Black Reaper]

Ah super lame. Looks like I'm going to have to cough up the dough because my project is pretty much kaput if I can't create formulas that tie in weapon damage. Thanks for the help man.

 

[Zuma Master]

You still can add weapon damage without those functions.
It just won't be as easy.
I can help you if you want, but not here on the forums.
If you have a Skype, PM me it.
If you don't, make one.
