So I searched the forums up and down but with no luck I have to come back to the support board.

Im trying to make haste shoot energy strikes from behind the character. Right now the effects go infront of the player and anyone in the effects that happen get hasted aswell. How can I make it so the effects happen behind the player, and other players dont get effected from the effects?

Also if I add selftarget="1" the spell stops hasting the player and the direction stops working.

Code: 
  <instant name="Haste Test" words="utani test" lvl="14" mana="60" prem="1" aggressive="0" direction="1" exhaustion="1000" needlearn="0" event="script" value="support/hastetest.lua">
     <vocation id="1"/>
     <vocation id="2"/>
     <vocation id="3"/>
     <vocation id="4"/>
     <vocation id="5"/>
     <vocation id="6"/>
     <vocation id="7"/>
     <vocation id="8"/>
   </instant>

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_SOUND_GREEN)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_AGGRESSIVE, false)

local condition = createConditionObject(CONDITION_HASTE)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 33000)
setConditionFormula(condition, 0.3, -24, 0.3, -24)
setCombatCondition(combat, condition)

local area = createCombatArea(AREA_BEAM5, AREADIAGONAL_BEAM5)
setCombatArea(combat, area)

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

Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me with this.

Also, this is the utamo vita script I changed but same effect.. anyone in the effect area gets mana shield as well so I can't use it either.

Code: 
local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_AGGRESSIVE, false)

local area = createCombatArea(AREA_SQUARE1X1)
setCombatArea(combat, area)

local condition = createConditionObject(CONDITION_MANASHIELD)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 200000)
setCombatCondition(combat, condition)

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

Also trying to make utamo vita show in effects all around the character, but players standing in the wave gets magic shield aswell. What do I change the condition to so it wont effect other players when a user casts it for himself.

Code: 
local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_AGGRESSIVE, false)

local area = createCombatArea(AREA_SQUARE1X1)
setCombatArea(combat, area)

local condition = createConditionObject(CONDITION_MANASHIELD)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 200000)
setCombatCondition(combat, condition)

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

@Wiw3K - Could you be so kind as to post an example, you dont have to make the script for me just show me how I would set effects "standard layout" so I can edit it to my needs. Would be much appreciated!

@Limos - Do you know how long I've been waiting for this! It works, thank you so much! What's your paypal, I'm sending you a few bucks. <3

Oh by the way, apparently I am like super newb with spells or they are really hard to edit even if you know the basics + have a layout to work from..

I am trying to make it a distance effect now that shoots diagonally behind the character to give kind of a "push" effect. But I think I am sadly walking myself directly into "fails". Take a look below.

Code: 
local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ANI_ENERGYBALL)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_AGGRESSIVE, false)

local condition = createConditionObject(CONDITION_HASTE)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 33000)
setConditionFormula(condition, 0.3, -24, 0.3, -24)

local area = createCombatArea({
  {0}{2}{0},
  {0}{1}{0},
  {0}{0}{0},
  {0}{0}{0},
  {0}{0}{0},
  {0}{0}{0},
  {1}{0}{1}
})
setCombatArea(combat, area)

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
  doAddCondition(cid, condition)
  doCombat(cid, combat, var)
  return true
end

Btw; if you dont have time to help with this just send your paypal email; what you've given me so far I can work from and it's much appreciated.
