TFS 1.X+ spell for monster that drop a text tfs 1.5

[Mateus Robeerto]

Does anyone know if there is a function 'Game.doSendAnimatedText' or 'doSendAnimatedText' to make the monster release the spell and an animated TEXT appears? I know it works with 'doCreatureSay(creature, "TEXT...!", TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)', but I would like to use the function 'doSendAnimatedText(target, "TEXT", TEXTCOLOR_LIGHTBLUE)'. Does anyone have ideas on these functions? Can you help me to solve this problem?

Why dont you place this function inside monster's spell lua script? As simple as that.

I tested these functions, but none worked for monster magic.

doSendAnimatedText("Silence!!", getPlayerPosition(targetCreature), TEXTCOLOR_WHITE)

doSendAnimatedText(target, "Silence!", TEXTCOLOR_LIGHTBLUE)

doSendAnimatedText("Silence!", getPlayerPosition(cid), 35)

Game.doSendAnimatedText("Silence!", getPlayerPosition(cid), 35)

However, I managed to find another solution that worked: I used "doSendAnimatedText("Silence!!", target:getPosition(), 143)".

yes, the correct name of the function is Game.SendAnimatedText

when in doubt, all function names are in this file:

https://github.com/nekiro/TFS-1.5-Downgrades/blob/8.60/src/luascript.cpp#L2038C26-L2038C42

the correct syntax is:

-- Game.sendAnimatedText(message, position, color)
Game.sendAnimatedText("Silence!!", target:getPosition(), TEXTCOLOR_SKYBLUE)

and note that it has a limit of how many characters of text it can display, so if your text is bigger than the limit, it will be cut, and there is no way to circumvent it other than using OTC only

I also tested another function that works:

doSendAnimatedText("Silence!!", target:getPosition(), TEXTCOLOR_SKYBLUE)

Thanks, I'll note that function here as well. I'm too busy and overloaded, messing with the server, work and stuff, my head is bad for it. But thank you very much!
