[Help] Animated Text OnCastSpell

[MarkSmartRemark]

Yo i was wondering... is there a way to do the animated text thingys that you do in the teleports like "Hunting!" on a spell?

like i cast example ice strike... and when it hits the target it goes "Frozen!" in blue letters over the target? im sure its something simple can anyone help? thanks =]

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ICEDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_ICEATTACK)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_SMALLICE)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -1, -10, -1, -20, 5, 5, 1.4, 2.1)

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
	return doCombat(cid, combat, var)[B][COLOR="Red"] and doSendAnimatedText(variantToPosition(var), "Frozen!", TEXTCOLOR_LIGHTBLUE)[/COLOR][/B]
end

thanks alot guys =), as for spells that have parameters, meaning they hit every X seconds with another combat, can there be a way so it shows the animated text, each time? example
one of those "multi-hit" exori san spells that you see in every ot... is there a way to make each time it hits the target say "Exori Multi San"!

im only using this because i have a wow server and i want to use the parameters thingy as "DoTs" which are damage over time spells =)
like that a player knows which dots he has on him lol

and thanks @ guys up repped ya


EDIT: Hmmm i tried both that u guys gave me and it didnt work =/ maybe its because my spell is weird... ill post my spell and if you guys can tell me where to put it id appreciate it!

@cykotitan : i got it too workk the cast time just that the area takes a while to configure since i need to put the spaces from the target but now i can do animated spells from that and cancel on move either way thanks your script helped understand it =] if i repost ill give you credits and jordan henry since i used his script as base
