direction to instant attack spells ?

[CipsoftStinks]

Hello i want to edit sources or if it's possible from lua

how i can give direction to instant attacks spells such as exori vis flam etc? im using
a server 7.x

i want that if a monster is tarjeted the instant attack spells hit the monsters
to avoid missing/fail when shooting these spells

give direction

How do you mean? Like the spell casts in the direction your character is facing?
Also what type of server? OTHire? Avesta? TFS?

im using tfs in old version the instant /attack spells aren't tarjeted directly to the monster you have to face him
i want that doesn't matter were player is viewing if the player have the monster tarjeted the spell will hit the monster

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -0.4, 0, -0.5, 0)

local distanceCombat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(distanceCombat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(distanceCombat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
setCombatParam(distanceCombat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ENERGY)
setCombatFormula(distanceCombat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -0.4, 0, -0.5, 0)

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    if(variantToNumber(var) ~= 0) then
        return doCombat(cid, distanceCombat, var)
    end
    return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end

Use this. If no monster is targeted, the spell will appear in front of the player (the way your char is facing) If you are targeting a monster, the spell will hit the monster.

Is there an error?
Cuz I have a 7.72 distro based on TFS 1.2 and this is the exact script I use.

no errors in console the spell just keep appearing in front of me i use tfs rev 0.3.7-0.4

 

[Crevasse]

Ahh ok well now I know what rev you are using. One last thing to check, do me a favor and post the .xml for energy strike, and the LUA script you are using.

 

[CipsoftStinks]

im using now the script lua that you gave me
but i was using

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -0.25, -0, -0.55, 0)

local arr = {
{0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0},
{0, 3, 0}
}

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

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

<instant name="Energy Strike" words="exori vis" mana="20" maglv="3" prem="0" direction="1" blockwalls="1" exhaustion="1000" needlearn="0" event="script" value="attack/energy strike.lua">

Hey sorry man I was asleep before you replied last night then had class this morning. Try using my LUA script still, but in your xml change

direction="1"

to

casterTargetOrDirection="1"

yours is set as "direction" meaning that it will only cast in front of the player, no matter what you do (just like e-wave, fire wave, e-beam, etc).

casterTargetOrDirection will let the spell hit whatever you are targeted. The LUA scipt outlines both combat modes for distance combat (with a target) and regular combat (without a target).

Let me know.
