Lua Healing Others

[Extort]

I have a simple question about doCreatureAddHealth(cid, health)
Is there a way to set it up so when i attack anything it heals the thing i attack? If so can someone give me an example or something? Any help would be great.
I am using TFS 0.3.6pl1

 

[Znote]

damage = 100 -- how much damage shall target loose?
target = getCreatureTarget(cid)
if getCreatureHealth(target) >= damage then
	doCreatureAddHealth(target, -damage)
else
	doCreatureAddHealth(target, -getCreatureHealth(target))
end

Thank you, but if i am not mistaken wont this heal the attacker not the person being attacked? But with this, i can probably make what i need. I thank you

 

[Cykotitan]

it depends on context; spell, statschange creaturescript, action or what?

 

[Extort]

it was a weapon script i wanted, but i think i have it figured out. I just changed his script and made it the way i wanted it. Thank you anyways.

 

[Znote]

To make it heal the target its attacking just do it like this:

heal = 100 -- how much do you want to heal?
target = getCreatureTarget(cid)
mathlol = getCreatureMaxHealth(target) - getCreatureHealth(target)
if mathlol >= heal then
	doCreatureAddHealth(target, heal)
else
	doCreatureAddHealth(target, mathlol)
end

(weaponscript).

variantToNumber(var) ?

 

[Extort]

Yeah Znote that is almost the same as what i have i just took the first script and changed it a bit. I just didn't know how to get the target, don't know what i didn't think about it i guess.

 

[Cykotitan]

variantToNumber(var) is safer than getCreatureTarget(cid)

 

[Extort]

How would i use it? Any different then the getCreatureTarget(cid)?

 

[Cykotitan]

no, usage is same. it's just safer and you're sure to always get the correct creature

 

[Extort]

Okay thank you, i will change the script around and give it a try then.
