Spell Explain on spell code

[Captain Orhotek]

I have been editing my spells but they seem a little strong I did not know an exact amount to add so I got code from another spell but I do not understand what each number means.

setCombatFormula(combat1, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -0.5, -50, -0.5, -50)

Anyone mind explaining please?

I just checked the source code. I think this is the formula:

max = (player->getLevel() * 2 + player->getMagicLevel() * 3) * 1. * mina + minb)

min = ((player->getLevel() * 2 + player->getMagicLevel() * 3) * 1. * maxa + maxb)

setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -1.3 (mina), -30(minb), -1.8(maxa), 0(maxb))

Weird, don't see why they would have the max values in the min code, just take the highest amount there as the max .

I'm not 100% but it seems right to me.

I think the -30 means 30 hitpoints more added to the damage.

So what is the maxa and maxb. I am asking because In my spell I have ten different things going on within the spell and each is set to do its dmg by a variation of my first code...but I messed with it some and no luck on changing its dmg.

I think its like that:
first two values are for min damage and its magic power multiplier and modifier(how much more or less it should hit) and the third and fourth values are for max dmg value, working the same.

If I am right it should be sth like ((((lvl-20)*2)+(mlvl*3))*multiplier)+modifier (if the final value is higher than 0 spell will heal target)
I am not sure about the magic power formula, it is only a bit simplified formula from wiki, no idea what formula is used in otservs
