Spell doing Multihits:

[Derlexy]

Hello guys...
I have this spell, for example:

local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_HITAREA)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ETHEREALSPEAR)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)

function onGetFormulaValues(player, attack, factor)
    local skillTotal = 2 * player:getEffectiveSkillLevel(SKILL_DISTANCE)
    local levelTotal = player:getLevel() / 5
    return -(((skillTotal + attack / 3500) * 0.35) + (levelTotal) + 0), -(((skillTotal + attack / 3125) * 0.5) + (levelTotal) + 5)
end

combat:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_SKILLVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")

function onCastSpell(creature, var)
    return combat:execute(creature, var)
end

And i want that this spell hit the target twice...

    local levelTotal = player:getLevel() / 5
    return -(((skillTotal + attack / 3500) * 0.35) + (levelTotal) + 0), -(((skillTotal + attack / 3125) * 0.5) + (levelTotal) + 5)
end

combat:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_SKILLVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")

function onCastSpell(creature, var)
    combat:execute(creature, var)
    return combat:execute(creature, var)

My bad, I've never got used to spells.
Try this

local combat = Combat()
local combat2 = Combat()
combat2:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
combat2:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_HITAREA)
combat2:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ETHEREALSPEAR)
combat2:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_HITAREA)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ETHEREALSPEAR)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)

function onGetFormulaValues(player, attack, factor)
    local skillTotal = 2 * player:getEffectiveSkillLevel(SKILL_DISTANCE)
    local levelTotal = player:getLevel() / 5
    return -(((skillTotal + attack / 3500) * 0.35) + (levelTotal) + 0), -(((skillTotal + attack / 3125) * 0.5) + (levelTotal) + 5)
end

combat:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_SKILLVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")
combat2:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_SKILLVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")
function onCastSpell(creature, var)
    combat2:execute(creature, var)
    return combat:execute(creature, var)
end

It doesnt work too =///

Hello! I've been trying to modify it by myself to make it hit more than twice, but i've been totally unsuccessfull... Any help please? I really need it! thanks for your time!

 

[whitevo]

My advice is don't use spells.xml for anything.
instead make spells in onSay(), onUse() or onThink()
And to make combat we have a nice function called doTargetCombatHealth()

 

[Aeronx]

I dont really know the difference.. and since i dont have any scripting skills, i cant really change it by myself! But thanks for the advice. Still need help tho..! Thanks for your time!

Tables.. People.. Tables..
Try this

local hits = 2 -- amount of times it will hit
local combat = {} -- an empty table to hold all the combat objects
local time_ = 100 -- time between hits in this case 0.1

for i = 1, hits do
    -- create a new combat object and assign it to the index of i
    combat[i] = Combat()
    -- set each index with its param
    combat[i]:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
    combat[i]:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_HITAREA)
    combat[i]:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ETHEREALSPEAR)
    combat[i]:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)
end

function onGetFormulaValues(player, attack, factor)
    local skillTotal = 2 * player:getEffectiveSkillLevel(SKILL_DISTANCE)
    local levelTotal = player:getLevel() / 5
    return -(((skillTotal + attack / 3500) * 0.35) + (levelTotal) + 0), -(((skillTotal + attack / 3125) * 0.5) + (levelTotal) + 5)
end

for n = 1, hits do
    -- using the same table, set each objects callback at the index of n
    combat[n]:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_SKILLVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")
end
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-- the section above is all loaded 1st
---------------------------------------------------------------------
function onCastSpell(creature, var)
    for x = 1, hits do
        -- execute each object at the index of x,
        addEvent(
        function(combat, cid, var)
            local creature = Creature(cid)
            if creature then
                combat:execute(creature, var)

        end,
