C++ Modification on Spells

[ninolouco]

Hello, Im using The forgotten server 1.2

Current in my server spells exani hur "up and exiva needs use " " to work

how can i modific these spells to work without " " too?

Current Example:
exani hur "up ( work normally)
exani hur "down ( work normally)
exiva "name" (work normally)
exani hur up (no work)
exani hur down (no work)
exiva name (no work)

Expected Example:
exani hur "up (work)
exani hur "down (work)
exiva "name" (work)
exani hur up (work)
exani hur down (work)
exiva name (work)


I found this function inside spells.cpp

TalkActionResult_t Spells::playerSaySpell(Player* player, std::string& words)
{
    std::string str_words = words;

    //strip trailing spaces
    trimString(str_words);

    std::ostringstream str_instantSpell;
    for (size_t i = 0; i < str_words.length(); i++) {
        if (!isspace(str_words[i]) || (i < str_words.length() - 1 && !isspace(str_words[i + 1]))) {
            str_instantSpell << str_words[i];
        }
    }
    
    str_words = str_instantSpell.str();

    InstantSpell* instantSpell = getInstantSpell(str_words);
    if (!instantSpell) {
        return TALKACTION_CONTINUE;
    }

    std::string param;

    if (instantSpell->getHasParam()) {
        size_t spellLen = instantSpell->getWords().length();
        size_t paramLen = str_words.length() - spellLen;
        std::string paramText = str_words.substr(spellLen, paramLen);
        if (!paramText.empty() && paramText.front() == ' ') {
            size_t loc1 = paramText.find('"', 1);
            if (loc1 != std::string::npos) {
                size_t loc2 = paramText.find('"', loc1 + 1);
                if (loc2 == std::string::npos) {
                    loc2 = paramText.length();
                } else if (paramText.find_last_not_of(' ') != loc2) {
                    return TALKACTION_CONTINUE;
                }

                param = paramText.substr(loc1 + 1, loc2 - loc1 - 1);
            } else {
                trimString(paramText);
                loc1 = paramText.find(' ', 0);
                if (loc1 == std::string::npos) {
                    param = paramText;
                } else {
                    return TALKACTION_CONTINUE;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    if (instantSpell->playerCastInstant(player, param)) {
        return TALKACTION_BREAK;
    }

    return TALKACTION_FAILED;
}

how could it be modified to work?

You can write them in lua and skip the source editing.

Not trying to be dismissive about the issue just think it's better to handle problems like these in a script.

I have no idea how to Lua script these spells.
