Lua Custom Server

[varhlak]

Hey, i wanted to make a totally custom server, and I'm just wondering..

Is there a way to make a weapon hit SPECIFIC ?

Lets say, 1700 - 1900 WITHOUT making a specific script for this weapon?
I know about 90% about scripting, but haven't really moved to 8.6 that much.
So, is there a way to set up a weapons damage to specific amount, without making a script for it (I know it works for staffs, not sure about meele and distance) ... ?

Thanks.

(asking only because I'd have to make around 45 scripts in total ... )

Staffs value are set up in data/xml/weapons.xml. Their stats are in Items.xml I believe. Everything must be scripted, otherwise it would have no effect...

You might want to learn more about... percentages

Have fun!

I dont think you got me right there. What i mean is, I just wanted to know if theres a different way to get a meele/distance weapon to hit with SPECIFIC damage (lets say 1700-1900) and nothing else WITHOUT making a proper script.

(something like wands)

<wand id="2185" level="19" mana="5" min="27" max="33" type="death" event="function" value="default">

BUT

<melee id="7407" level="30" min="1700" max="1900" unproperly="1" event="function" value="default"> <---- is it possible to do something like this?

I think it needs a script with math.random function ;o

It can't be done in pure xml. Why? Wands are specific weapons, therefore they can only make use from "min" & "max" parameters. So, the only way to ignore calculations that are by default performed in sources for weapons is to create a custom lua script for that purpose. There's no other option.

Hope I answered your question.

@edit
Obviously there is no thing that can't be done in sources Was just referring to the OP question.

I think it can be changed in sources too, im right? ;p, But needs a good programmer ;o

 

[Doggynub]

Doesn't even need a good programmer.

 

[varhlak]

is there a lua fuction for 'min - max' hits? I know theres one for healing. Not sure about damage?

Anybody?

 

[Sweddy]

Then do it for healing but - ? maybe i dont know

like doCreatureAddHealth math.random(-1500, -1800)

Im noob

 

[varhlak]

but then, it'll just.. well, i could try that.. xD

 

[varhlak]

nah, it's not really working..

 

[varhlak]

Tried

doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, type, min, max, effect)

Doesnt work :/ Or i'm just so dumb that i can't set it up

 

[Sweddy]

Sorry, im not so good in these things

 

[Doggynub]

well the function you mentioned should work well

doTargetCombatHealth(0,target,COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE,-100,-500,CONST_ME_DRAWBLOOD)

 

[varhlak]

but wait...

so how would the script look in this situation ? :

function onUseWeapon(cid, var, item)
doCombat(cid, combat, var)
doCombat(cid, combat, var)
return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end

function onUseWeapon(cid, var, item)
doTargetCombatHealth(0,target,COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE,-100,-500,CONST_ME_DRAWBLOOD)
doCombat(cid, combat, var)
doCombat(cid, combat, var)
return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end

Or... like this :

function onUseWeapon(cid, var, item)
doTargetCombatHealth(0,target,COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE,-1700,-1900,CONST_ME_DRAWBLOOD)
doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, type, min, max, effect)
doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, type, min, max, effect)
return doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, type, min, max, effect)
end

just added my damage and actually thought for a second

Hey,

if you are using a 0.4 TFS, there is actually a way to do it in XML. Not purely, but with scripting buffer.
As an example I will take.. your example

<melee id="7407" level="30" unproperly="1" event="buffer"><![CDATA[
	if(var.type == 1) then
		_result = doTargetCombatHealth(cid, var.number, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE, -1700, -1900, CONST_ME_DRAWBLOOD)
	end
]]></melee>

Enjoy! You can use it for any weapon, even distance.

 

[varhlak]

Ha, i was close. Thanks!

I hope this is going to work

<3

 

[varhlak]

Yes, works! But.. with limitations. Works flawless with melee weapons, ALTHOUGH ...

You can use it for any weapon, even distance.

Not really, when you do it as

<distance id ="xxxx" level="xxx" unproperly="x">

It yea, attacks from distance, as nothing, you basically dont throw/attack, the monster just gets hit, by nothing <_<

Is there a change in the script to do it like theres a flying spear or something?

 

[Diath]

doSendDistanceShoot perhaps?

 

[varhlak]

doSendDistanceShoot perhaps?

<melee id="7407" level="30" unproperly="1" event="buffer"><![CDATA[
	if(var.type == 1) then
		_result = doTargetCombatHealth(cid, var.number, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE, -1700, -1900, CONST_ME_DRAWBLOOD)
	end
]]></melee>

for this script? I just want it to attack with spears/arrows, not physical. Well physical, but with a different 'flying' effect.
