Solved Need help with making spells.

[knighters god]

I would like to know the easiest way of making a spell.
I don't really understand how to edit this kinda scripts.

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_BIGCLOUDS)
setAttackFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, 5, 5, 5, 12)

local area = createCombatArea(AREA_CROSS6X6)
setCombatArea(combat, area)

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

And I've seen before that you could edit with numbers where the animation would show like this.

{1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,1
3,0,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,1,0
1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,1}

some help with this kinda stuff, I would be grateful.
Thank you.

local area = createCombatArea(AREA_CROSS6X6)
setCombatArea(combat, area)

AREA_CROSS6X6 is the area, you can use a name here because it is added in spells/lib/spells.lua.

AREA_CROSS6X6 = {
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0},
	{0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0},
	{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1},
	{0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0},
	{0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
}

So you could also do this.

local area = createCombatArea({
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0},
	{0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0},
	{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1},
	{0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0},
	{0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
	{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
})

setCombatArea(combat, area)

Or if the area is smaller, you can just make it smaller too, for example:

local area = createCombatArea({
	{1, 1, 1},
	{1, 3, 1},
	{1, 1, 1}
})

setCombatArea(combat, area)

The 3 is the target place. For example with a selftarget spell like an ue, it's the place where the person who cast the spell stands, or with a target spell, it's the place of the target (you can also use 2 if you want that place not do damage on the target).
The 1 is where the combat should come.

You can also use the SpellCreator
