Reverse Damage Mechanic

[azzmckay6]

Hello guys, im looking for some help to create a script that is as in the title. Id like to have a script that reverses usual damage, for example:

When a player attacks said monster, the usual damage infact heals the monster for however much the player hits. The only way for the player to kill the monster is to infact HEAL it, for example using UH/IH or mass healing spell.

many thanks

You should always state what version of server you are using so we know what function we can use. That said if you're using newer server versions, easiest way I can see to do this is to use onHealthChange creaturescript and just reverse the negative to a positive with a function like math.abs and change the damage type.

Try something like this

function onHealthChange(creature, attacker, primaryDamage, primaryType, secondaryDamage, secondaryType, origin)
    
    if creature:getName() == 'Demon' then
        if primaryType == COMBAT_HEALING then
            primaryType = COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE -- choose the damage that you want here
        else
            primaryType = COMBAT_HEALING
            creature:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
            creature:addHealth(primaryDamage)
        end
    end
    
    return primaryDamage, primaryType, secondaryDamage, secondaryType, origin
end

Then add this to creaturescript.xml

<event type="healthchange" name="ReverseDamage" script="ReverseDamage.lua" />

And this inside login.lua

player:registerEvent("ReverseDamage")
