Spell request

[LMASTER]

Right, I tried a few things, but none seemed to work, I need a spell that when the player casts it, every monster within a certain area gets the damage equal to player's current mana after a short period of time and in this period, he cant move. So it's like, if he's with max mana and have 5k, he deals 5k to each monster surrounding him. Actually, the only problem i'm facing is the mana based damage part, if someone could help, I would be gratefull. Thanks

You can use

getPlayerMaxMana

 

[dudeim]

He wants to use current mana so you should use

getCreatureMana(cid)

instead

 

[LMASTER]

actually, if i use it and in the damage part, it gives a error, cause i cannot change the value to negative...

 

[dudeim]

Use this as spell:

function onCastSpell(cid, var, words, name)
local target = getCreatureTarget(cid)
local mana = getCreatureMana(cid)
	doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE, -mana, -mana, 37)
return TRUE
end

Is the error i get, same one when i tried by myself... Also, i want it to be an area spell, not a "need a target" spell

 

[dudeim]

Try this then:

function onCastSpell(cid, var, words, name)
local target = getCreatureTarget(cid)
local dmg = getCreatureMana(cid)
	doTargetCombatHealth(cid, target, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE, -dmg, -dmg, 37)
return TRUE
end

PS are you useing this script or another with this in it? If you have another with this in it and this isn't working post your script. As it could also be something with the timer event you called.
