How it works? (Spells)

[Exura ATS]

Hey!

Can someone teach me how this parameter works:

setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 1 * 60 * 1000)

I took it from my recovery.lua (spell script):

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_AGGRESSIVE, false)

local condition = createConditionObject(CONDITION_REGENERATION)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_SUBID, 1)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_BUFF, true)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 1 * 60 * 1000)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_HEALTHGAIN, 20)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_HEALTHTICKS, 3000)
setCombatCondition(combat, condition)

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
   return doCombat(cid, combat, var)
end

setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 1 * 60 * 1000)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_HEALTHGAIN, 20)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_HEALTHTICKS, 3000)

looking at those 3 lines what i think (and im pretty sure im right) is

1. calculate the time how long its gonna last, in this case 1 minute
2. how much health you gonna get
3. how many seconds before you get the amount of hp from point 2.

explanation: you get 20 hp every 3 sec, this buff lasts for a minute

Oh. Thanks man. But, why it's "1 * 60 * 1000"?
What does it mean?

 

[sakux323]

its in ticks, 1000 = 1 second and it lasts one minute so 1 * 60 * 1000

 

[Exura ATS]

its in ticks, 1000 = 1 second and it lasts one minute so 1 * 60 * 1000

So I could delete "1 * 60 * 1000" and write "60000" that it would works like it is now?

 

[sakux323]

technically yes, but you should avoid writing insane number and make them as simple as possible, you dont really want to end up writing numbers such as 9000000000 (i didnt even count how many zeros there are but theres many) and that becomes obnoxious in the long run

Should be possible.
1 * 60 * 1000 = 60000
60 * 1000 = 60000
60000 = 60000
