Lua doAreaCombatHealth spell help D:<

[Cornwallis]

Well I've been redoing a lot of my spells this way, honestly idk why, easier to use i suppose. WARNING: if you plan to use this spell file format, it does not work with bonuses such as utito tempo, or equipment bonuses, there's ways around the equipment bonuses. ( check slot item ) But I'm not 100% sure how to use this function, let me know where it's wrong.

function onCastSpell(cid, var) 
local lvl = getPlayerLevel(cid) 
local dmgMax = ((lvl * 5))
local dmgMin = ((dmgMax*0.90))
ret = doAreaCombatHealth(cid, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE, getCreaturePosition(cid), AREA_SMALLSHIELD, -dmgMin, -dmgMax, CONST_ME_GROUNDSHAKER)
return ret
end

if you have the spell working you just need to add more areas, and in the script check for the position of the target...

local areaNorth = {
{0, 3, 0},
{0, 1, 0}
}

local areaSouth = {
{0, 1, 0},
{0, 3, 0}
}
local areaEast = {
{0, 0},
{1, 3},
{0, 0}
}
local areaWest = {
{0, 0},
{3, 1},
{0, 0}
}

local setAreaNorth = createCombatArea(areaNorth)
local setAreaSouth = createCombatArea(areaSouth)
local setAreaEast = createCombatArea(areaEast)
local setAreaWest = createCombatArea(areaWest)

function onCastSpell(creature, var)
local target = creature:getTarget()
local tpos = target:getPosition()
local mpos = creature:getPosition()
local dmgMin = 570
local dmgMax = 750

if tpos.x == mpos.x and tpos.y < mpos.y then
doAreaCombatHealth(creature, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE, mpos, setWestArea, -dmgMin, -dmgMax, CONST_ME_GROUNDSHAKER)
elseif tpos.x == mpos.x and tpos.y > mpos.y then
doAreaCombatHealth(creature, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE, mpos, setEastArea, -dmgMin, -dmgMax, CONST_ME_GROUNDSHAKER)
elseif tpos.y == mpos.y and tpos.x > mpos.x then
doAreaCombatHealth(creature, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE, mpos, setSouthArea, -dmgMin, -dmgMax, CONST_ME_GROUNDSHAKER)
elseif tpos.y == mpos.y and tpos.x < mpos.x then
doAreaCombatHealth(creature, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE, mpos, setNorthArea, -dmgMin, -dmgMax, CONST_ME_GROUNDSHAKER)
end
end

or you could create a direction table with the areas for each direction and check direction oncastspell and execute accordingly
