Custom death spell for Sorcerers...

[Rexanilator]

I am trying to create a custom spell for sorocerers that does death damage and does an effect of mort over a large area 5x5 or even 6x6.

The code I was using for tfs 0.3.6 that worked fair was as follows:

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_DEATHDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_MORTAREA)
setAttackFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, 3, 3, 13, 18)

local area = createCombatArea(AREA_CROSS5X5)
setCombatArea(combat, area)

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

I had to do an adjustment on my source code because the spells were not adjusting properly with the new formula. I went into combat.cpp and replaced the following code from 0.3.6 with the code from 0.3.5

0.3.6 code

					min = (int32_t)((player->getLevel() / minl + player->getMagicLevel() * minm) * 1. * mina + minb);
					max = (int32_t)((player->getLevel() / maxl + player->getMagicLevel() * maxm) * 1. * maxa + maxb);

0.3.5 code

					min = (int32_t)((player->getLevel() + player->getMagicLevel() * 4) * 1. * mina + minb);
					max = (int32_t)((player->getLevel() + player->getMagicLevel() * 4) * 1. * maxa + maxb);

All the other spells are now working great and adjust easily - except for this one spell - called exevo gran mas mort.

It does not matter how it is adjusted it hits like 1017 all the time.

Can someone help me revive this spell...my sorcs are unhappy!

Rep given as always!:thumbup:

You should change (I'm not sure ):

setCombatFormula

not

setAttackFormula

i think you have to put a - infront of the numbers D:

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_DEATHDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_MORTAREA)
setAttackFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -3, -3, -13, -18)

local area = createCombatArea(AREA_CROSS5X5)
setCombatArea(combat, area)

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

Yes...I thought so to...and I tried both of those things - change Attack to Combat - same thing.

Put a - in front of the numbers...same thing.

That's why I need help.

do you use it as a mod or spell?

 

[Rexanilator]

its in spells...

It provides the effect and everything...but the damage is always the same no matter what adjustment - what lvl or anything. It's like a hard coded damage that never changes.
