[Request] How to make "Conditions" hit in intervals and exact damages

[Narzerus]

This is what I want to do:
I want monsters to be able to cast conditions, (such as FireCondition, EneergyCondition etc...) that hit in exact damage ticks, for example: a monster casts a FireCondition on a player, wich deals -300 damage every 5 seconds for 20 seconds in total.
I was wondering how can I do this?
This is the example of a condition that greendjinns cast:
--------------
<attack name="energycondition" interval="1000" chance="34" range="7" min="-50" max="-90">
<attribute key="shootEffect" value="energy"/>
</attack>
--------------
If you change the min/max damage, and change it to min="-300" max="-300" the spell won't hit -300 in ticks. instead it will hit around -60, and then -59, -58, -57, -56..... and SO on untill it reaches 0. similar to the poison efect.
the same happens to me with all conditions, instead of dealing exact damage, it deals a periodically-reducing damage.
What I want to do is to make them hit in exact periodcial damages, just like fire fields do

nobody knows how?

spells.xml:

	<instant name="Green Djinn Electrify" words="green djinn electrify" enabled="0" needtarget="1" event="script" value="monster/green djinn electrify.lua"/>

the script:

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_ENERGYHIT)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ENERGYBALL)

local condition = createConditionObject(CONDITION_ENERGY)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_DELAYED, true)
setConditionParam(condition, CONDITION_PARAM_FORCEUPDATE, true)
addDamageCondition(condition, 3, 10000, -25)
setCombatCondition(combat, condition)

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

usage in monster file:

	<attack name="Green Djinn Electrify" interval="2000" chance="17" range="7" target="1"/>

Thanks a lot Cyko!
But.. theres a little problem, umm the monster casts the spell on himself, and it deals no damage nor any Dot.
I'm using TFS 0.36, does it have anything to do with it?

I know this is an old post, veeery old...

But I couldn't find any direct topic to give an answer by this kind of question. Here is the solution!

In data/spells/scripts ---> 'poison serpent.lua'

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, 20)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, 14)

local poison = createConditionObject(CONDITION_POISON)
addDamageCondition(poison, 10, 2000, -6)
setCombatCondition(combat, poison)

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

In data/spells ---> 'spells.xml'

<instant name="Poison Serpent" words="blablabla" casterTargetOrDirection="1" range="1" exhaustion="2000" event="script" value="poison serpent.lua">
</instant>

Finally, in data/monster --->'Serpent.xml'

    <attacks>
        <attack name="Poison Serpent" target="1" range="1"/>
    </attacks>

Now this post can die in peace.
