first you'll need a player = Player(cid) variable, then you can do:
Lua:
player:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_TELEPORT)Okay, can you explain what you mean by above? Do you want the effect on top of the character? CTRL-A your entire file. Insert in this post a code block, and label it Lua. I'll modify it for you to work.
Yea on top of character because i create new magic effect something in the style of the admin string and I want to show it on to of my character
like this:
EDIT:
Here is a small code

Lua:
local players = getPlayersOnline()
for _, pid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
if(getPlayerVocation(pid) == 0) then
playerpos = getPlayerPosition(pid)
doSendMagicEffect(playerpos, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)

Okay, what you really mean is you want it to appear to be "above", but positioning wise, it's actually -1 along the Y axis. That is doable, but in order to do that, you will need to edit the Y value of the player position before passing it to your doSendMagicEffect call.
I'm not quite sure if the playerpos variable is in this format, but I'm guessing you can do a playerpos.y -= 1 operation before sending the effect.

Its as easy as this. Stop using 0.X functions.
Lua:
playerpos = player:getPosition()
effectpos = Position(playerpos.x, playerpos.y -1, playerpos.z)
effectpos:sendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
in pre 1.0
or
Lua:
playerpos = getPlayerPosition(pid)
doSendMagicEffect({x=playerpos.x, y=playerpos.y-1, z=playerpos.z}, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
Lua:
pos= getPlayerPosition(pid)
pos.y = pos.y-1
doSendMagicEffect(pos, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
