Lua spell - script that hits twice within a delay and shows some magic effects

[dantexd]

Can someone help me here. I`ve been trying to edit this to understand more from it and to recreate this script on other spells but im stuck.
So basicly its a script that hits twice within a delay and shows some magic effects.

The problem is when hitting only showing the same effect after each hit. (Instead of nr of effects)

local config = {
efecto1 = 64, -- efeito q ira aparacer a cada teleport.
efecto2 = 72, -- efeito q ira aparecer ao hitar no alvo
hits = 2, -- quantos hits vai dar
delay = 1200, -- intervalo de tempo a cada hit
mindmg = 11000,
maxdmg = 12000,
damage = COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE -- tipo do dano
}


spell1 = {
start1 = function (cid, target, markpos, hits)
    if not isCreature(cid) then return true end
    if not isCreature(target) or hits < 1 then
                 return true
    end
    posAv = validPos(getThingPos(target))
    rand = #posAv == 1 and 1 or #posAv - 1

    doAreaCombatHealth(cid, config.damage, getThingPos(target), 0, -config.mindmg, -config.maxdmg, config.efecto1)
    addEvent(spell1.start1, config.delay, cid, target, markpos, hits - 1)
   end
  
}

spell2 = {
start2 = function (cid, target, markpos, hits)
    if not isCreature(cid) then return true end
    if not isCreature(target) or hits < 2 then
                 return true
    end    
    posAv = validPos(getThingPos(target))
    rand = #posAv == 1 and 1 or #posAv - 1
   
    doAreaCombatHealth(cid, config.damage, getThingPos(target), 0, -config.mindmg, -config.maxdmg, config.efecto2)
    addEvent(spell2.start2, 100, cid, target, markpos, hits - 1)        
   end
  
}

function onCastSpell(cid)
local position1 = {x=getThingPosition(getCreatureTarget(cid)).x, y=getThingPosition(getCreatureTarget(cid)).y, z=getThingPosition(getCreatureTarget(cid)).z}
local position2 = {x=getCreaturePosition(cid).x, y=getCreaturePosition(cid).y, z=getCreaturePosition(cid).z}
target = getCreatureTarget(cid)
if target then
  spell1.start1(cid, target, getThingPos(cid), config.hits)
doSendMagicEffect(position1, 180)
doSendMagicEffect(position1, 212)
spell2.start2(cid, target, getThingPos(cid), config.hits)



end
return true
end

I am trying to edit position of the different effects with this.

local position1 = {x=getThingPosition(getCreatureTarget(cid)).x, y=getThingPosition(getCreatureTarget(cid)).y, z=getThingPosition(getCreatureTarget(cid)).z}

I managed to figure it out how it works but still is showing me the 1st sprite twice and I would like to edit the positions of the effects.

Give this a try. Not tested and I rushed making it.

local canUseDistanceEffect = false --You can enable this if your server supports doSendDistanceEffect(pos1, pos2)

local spellHits = {
    [1] = {delay = 0, combat = COMBAT_DEATH_DAMAGE, effect = CONST_ME_POFF, distanceEffect = CONST_ANI_DEATH},
    [2] = {delay = 1000, combat = COMBAT_DEATH_DAMAGE, effect = CONST_ME_POFF, distanceEffect = CONST_ANI_DEATH}
}

[[--
delay = time in miliseconds to delay the spell.
combat = The type of damage. (Death, Fire, Poison, ect.)
effect = The effect that will appear under the player when they are damaged.
distanceEffect = The effect that will go from the caster to the target. (like a wand shooting)

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    local varNumber = variantToNumber(var)
   
    if not varNumber then return false end
   
    local minDmg = -((getPlayerLevel(cid) / 2) * (getPlayerMagLevel(cid) / 10))
    local maxDmg = -((getPlayerLevel(cid) / 1) * (getPlayerMagLevel(cid) / 10))
    local name = getPlayerName(cid)
   
    for i = 1, #spellHits do
        if canUseDistanceEffect then
            local hitAmount = math.floor(math.random(minDmg, maxDmg))
            addEvent(castSpell, spellHits[i].delay, name, varNumber, hitAmount, spellHits[i].combat, spellHits[i].effect, spellHits[i].distanceEffect)
        else
            local hitAmount = math.floor(math.random(minDmg, maxDmg))
            addEvent(castSpell, spellHits[i].delay, name, varNumber, hitAmount, spellHits[i].combat, spellHits[i].effect)
        end
    end
   
    doAreaCombatHealth(cid, )
return true
end

function castSpell(name, targetNumber, damage, combat, effect, distanceEffect)
    local player = getPlayerByNameWildcard(name)
