local target = 0

local maxChaseDistance = 30
local origPos = 0
local lastAttack = 0
local followTimeout = 10
 
local attacks = {
	min = -50,
	max = -100
}
 
local function isSkulled(cid)
	if(getCreatureSkullType(cid) >= SKULL_RED) then

	end
 
	return false
end

	selfFollow(0)
end
 
local function updateTarget()
	if(not isCreature(target)) then
	elseif(not isSkulled(target)) then
		selfSay("Now, behave in the future.")
	end
 
	if(target == 0) then
		local list = getSpectators(getNpcPos(), 9, 9, false)
		for i = 1, table.getn(list) do
			local _target = list[i]
			if(_target ~= 0) then
				if(isCreature(_target) and isSkulled(_target)) then
					if(not getTilePzInfo(getCreaturePosition(_target))) then
						if(selfFollow(_target)) then
							target = _target
							if(target ~= prevTarget) then
								selfSay("We do not tolerate people like you here!")

bring it up.

 

[Bogart]

doSendDistanceShoot(frompos, topos, type[, player])

 

[tompan]

where should i place this ? =P

 

[Printer]

end of the script you find this

doTargetCombatHealth(getNpcCid(), target, COMBAT_LIFEDRAIN, attacks.min, attacks.max, CONST_ANI_SUDDENDEATH)

change to this

doTargetCombatHealth(getNpcCid(), target, COMBAT_LIFEDRAIN, attacks.min, attacks.max, CONST_ANI_SPEAR)

 

[tompan]

end of the script you find this

doTargetCombatHealth(getNpcCid(), target, COMBAT_LIFEDRAIN, attacks.min, attacks.max, CONST_ANI_SUDDENDEATH)

change to this

doTargetCombatHealth(getNpcCid(), target, COMBAT_LIFEDRAIN, attacks.min, attacks.max, CONST_ANI_SPEAR)

Already tried this and it doesnt work. the sudden death doesnt work propertly either.
Bogart's way should work just dont know how to place it.

Write if it didnt work and any errors!

End of the page add it like i did:

if((math.abs(playerPos.x - myPos.x) <= 10) and (math.abs(playerPos.y - myPos.y) <= 10)) then
		doTargetCombatHealth(getNpcCid(), target, COMBAT_LIFEDRAIN, attacks.min, attacks.max, CONST_ANI_SUDDENDEATH)
                            doSendDistanceShoot(frompos, topos, type[, player]) 
		lastAttack = os.clock()
	end
 
	return true
end

well my distro is fucked so cant copy the error, but its says unexpected symbol near ','
and line 105, wich is doSendDistanceShoot(frompos, topos, type[, player])
so i believe its the thing in red thats bugging it.

 

[tompan]

doSendDistanceShoot(frompos, topos, type, target)
"doSendDistanceShoot" is a nil value.
