New TFS burst arrow

[keatoru]

the burst arrow will not hurt anything same for poison arrow.
I think that it might be due to this in the arrow script:
burst

local combat = createCombatObject()
[B]setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKSHIELD, 1)[/B]
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_BURSTARROW)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 1, 0, 1, 0)

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

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

poison

local combat = createCombatObject()
[B]setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)[/B]
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_POISONDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_POISONARROW)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 1, 0, 1, 0)

local condition = createConditionObject(CONDITION_POISON)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_DELAYED, 1)
addDamageCondition(condition, 10, 2000, -1)
setCombatCondition(combat, condition)

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

anyone?

I personally remade the burst arrow and made it into levelmagic for mages...

This is what I'm using (TFS)...

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 0)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKSHIELD, 1)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_FIREAREA)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_BURSTARROW)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -0.2, -30, -0.3, 0)

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

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

And it works right? so i'm guessing mine isn't working becuz of this part on yours:

setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 0)

mine has a 1 at the end.

The problem is at:

setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 1, 0, 1, 0)

That does damage based on your distance skill... As i wanted the burst arrow to be for mages, I made it to damage based on their level and magic level:

setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -0.2, -30, -0.3, 0)

 

[keatoru]

I had a person with lvl 65 dist and the arrow did nothing... so if its judged on distance then why are ppl not doing any damage to anything?

 

[Gut]

Not exactly sure.. I'v seen threads prior to this one talking about this problem. I think what they did was set
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 1, 0, 1, 0)
to
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 1.0, 0, 1.1, 0)

I am not sure if will actually make a difference...but it's worth a shot to see if it will do damage

Also... I'll mess around with it in my server and let you know what I come up with...

 

[keatoru]

ok i'll try that change see what happens.

 

[keatoru]

no didn't work. and i am now noticing that it doesn't add any distance skill. my viper star works tho. it hits them and does poisen damage but doesn't give distance exp. this is the viper_star.lua

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_GREENSTAR)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 0, 0, 1.0, 0)

local xCombat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_EARTHDAMAGE)

local condition = createConditionObject(CONDITION_POISON)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_DELAYED, 1)
addDamageCondition(condition, 4, 2000, -2)
addDamageCondition(condition, 6, 2000, -1)
setCombatCondition(xCombat, condition)

function onUseWeapon(cid, var)
	local ret = doCombat(cid, combat, var)
	if(ret == LUA_ERROR) then
		return LUA_ERROR
	end

	local target = variantToNumber(var)
	if(target ~= 0) then
		-- chance to poison the enemy
		local chance = math.random(0, 100)
		if(chance > 90) then
			ret = doCombat(cid, xCombat, var)
		end
	end
	return ret
end
