Lua Get target from a Healing rune cast

[tklucas]

Well, i'm currently implementing a sound extension for my server and i just can't get the right target of a healing rune cast.

That should work right?

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_HEALING)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_AGGRESSIVE, false)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TARGETCASTERORTOPMOST, false)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISPEL, CONDITION_PARALYZE)
setHealingFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, 5, 5, 5, 6)

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
	if doCombat(cid, combat, var) then
		local f = variantToNumber(var)

		if f ~= 0 then
			local obj = SoundData:new(HEAL_CH, nil, nil, 1000, 900, false, nil)
			obj:sendToSpectators(getCreaturePosition(f))
		end

	end
end

But, i just the get the right position of the target when i choose they by battlelist. If i heal my self i also don't get my own pos.
Don't mind about my custom code, he works fine. I just can't understand why i can't get the target properly.

PS: I've made a quickly search on the sources and didn't find nothing.

I've just get a tip (getThingFromPos) from a friend. Short solution:

in constants lua:

VARIANT_NONE = 0
VARIANT_NUMBER = 1
VARIANT_POSITION = 2
VARIANT_TARGETPOSITION = 3
VARIANT_STRING = 4

in functions lua:

function variantToTarget(var)
	if var.type == VARIANT_NUMBER then return variantToNumber(var)
	elseif	var.type == VARIANT_POSITION then return getThingFromPos(var.pos).uid
	else return 0
	end
end

then you use in any script:

local f = variantToTarget(var)

I hope it helps more ppl also.
