Simple spell but - SPECIFIC ORDER EVERY TIME-

[Exiled Pain]

Hi, I have a special request, I know it may sound noobish or senseless but is what is need. I been trying to make a spell that works a specific way and haven't been able to do it. The spell must apear in the monsters location (not the caster) and it has to be in the exact same order no mater where its cast from, and it must use MAGIC EFFECT not SHOOT EFECT.

it has to be horizontal in this order:

x-x-M-x

(F-I-E-P)
(Fire-Ice-Energy-Poison)

The M meants the monster position.
The closes I've been to have that order an placement is by casting it from one side of screen(lets say from the left part of the screen) but as soon as I cast the spell from the right side of the screen it shifts the spell order backwards...

I know it may sounds ilogical o just a stubborn request, but I really need this, in that exact order every time. Please help me out, I'll rep++ anyone who solves this.

Thanks in advance

nop, actually that is the same script I was using, and when you change from one side of the screen to another it flips the order. Thanks anyway

 

[Lamecun]

that flip side you have to change in spells.xml

 

[Exiled Pain]

What function to use to fix that in spells.xml?
