I want to add DOT to certain weapons in TFS 1.4.2(Solved)

[crispy_256]

I'm wanting to add poison DOT to things like the poison dagger and the serpent sword, along with a fire DOT with the fire sword...things like that. I'm using a pre compiled TFS 1.4.2. I've tried lots of different ways to do it, but does anyone have some advice, or can you at least tell me if it's not possible without compiling my own version of TFS?

Sorry, I'm just not sure where I'm supposed to put that, like which Lua should I edit/create and where should I place it? Sorry, I'm still pretty new at this

you might try starting with a lua script in the weapons folder? If you are not at all going to even try then you are going to get no where as no one will help you... and this is the most basic kind of question you could ask... you didn't even search the forums clearly... like dude... there is an ots guide at the top, a lua guide at the top, a whole tutorials section....

Wow, dude...you don't have to help. I DID try an Lua in my weapons folder, it didn't work, but maybe I messed something up...I might be able to figure it out...but I'd rather know I was working in the right place because i was also trying around in creaturescripts...but like I said...I'm new at all of this...thanks for the advice...I'm sure a lot of it is basic to you, but this is my second week of tinkering around

take a look on how poison arrow works

local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_POISONARROW)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, true)
combat:setFormula(COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 0, 0, 1, 0)

function onUseWeapon(player, variant)
    if not combat:execute(player, variant) then
        return false
    end

    player:addDamageCondition(Creature(variant:getNumber()), CONDITION_POISON, DAMAGELIST_LOGARITHMIC_DAMAGE, 3)
    return true
end

now just add the correct item id on weapons.xml and it should work

<melee id="26806" unproperly="1" level="100" script="weapons/warrior_sword.lua">
    <vocation name="Knight" />
</melee>

The only thing that I had to do differently than what you had was take out the weapons/ before the lua....I really thought I had tried this first like 2 days ago...I must have had a typo somewhere...because now it works just fine. Thanks for your help.

Did you figure it out with the other damage types as well? I was thinking of doing the same. In the same boat as you, tinkering around for a couple of weeks and just learning/absorbing as much as possible
