Death mob DMG

[Crystals]

TFS 1.4.2:

Hi,

I'm trying to create a spell that causes an explosion when a monster dies. I've tried creating a spell in various ways but I haven't succeeded, maybe someone can help.

The last version I tested is this:

.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<monster name="Erupto" nameDescription="an erupting orc" race="blood" experience="2500" speed="220" manacost="0">
    <health now="100" max="100"/>
    <look type="5" corpse="5966"/>
    <targetchange interval="4000" chance="0"/>
    
    <flags>
        <flag summonable="0"/>
        <flag attackable="1"/>
        <flag hostile="1"/>
        <flag illusionable="0"/>
        <flag convinceable="0"/>
        <flag pushable="0"/>
        <flag canpushitems="0"/>
        <flag canpushcreatures="0"/>
        <flag targetdistance="1"/>
        <flag staticattack="90"/>
        <flag runonhealth="15"/>
        <flag canwalkonenergy="0"/>
        <flag canwalkonfire="1"/>
        <flag canwalkonpoison="0"/>
    </flags>

    <attacks>
        <attack name="melee" interval="2000" min="0" max="-35"/>
        <spell name="Erupto Aura" interval="2000" chance="100" range="0" target="0" script="monster/Tower/erupto_aura.lua"/>
        <spell name="erupto_death" trigger="onDeath" chance="100" range="0" target="0" script="monster/Tower/erupto_death.lua"/>
    </attacks>

    <defenses armor="10" defense="10"/>
    
    <voices interval="5000" chance="10">
        <voice sentence="Feel my wrath!"/>
        <voice sentence="Burn in flames!"/>
    </voices>
    
    <loot>
        <item id="2148" countmax="5" chance="100000"/>
    </loot>
</monster>

spell:

print("[ERUPTO] Death spell script loaded!")

local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
combat:setFormula(COMBAT_FORMULA_DAMAGE, 200, 0, 500, 0)

local area = createCombatArea({
    {1, 1, 1},
    {1, 2, 1},
    {1, 1, 1}
})
combat:setArea(area)

function onCastSpell(creature, var)
    local pos = creature:getPosition()
    
    local params = {
        type = 2,
        value = pos.x,     
        value2 = pos.y,
        value3 = pos.z
    }

    combat:execute(creature, params)
    
    return true
end

there is no trigger like the one you using, better use the onDeath creature event for this

 

[Crystals]

I tried to use it as an event but it doesn't work either :/

 

[StreamSide]

how did you tried? any script to see?

 

[Gesior.pl]

I DID NOT TEST THIS CODE

In monster XML file add:

    <script>
        <event name="CustomMonsterDeath"/>
    </script>

In data/creaturescripts/creaturescripts.xml add:

    <event type="death" name="CustomMonsterDeath" script="custom_monster_death.lua"/>

Create file data/creaturescripts/scripts/custom_monster_death.lua and paste:

local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
combat:setFormula(COMBAT_FORMULA_DAMAGE, 200, 0, 500, 0)

local area = createCombatArea({
    {1, 1, 1},
    {1, 2, 1},
    {1, 1, 1}
})
combat:setArea(area)

function onDeath(creature)
    combat:execute(creature, Variant(creature:getPosition()))

    return true
end

Thanks you!
Solved!

Thanks you!
Solved!

I copied XML files from AI (claude-3-7-sonnet-thinking) - it saved me 30-120 seconds -, but I had to edit/write Lua code manually (cast spell on death).
