[26/07/2011 20:00:37] [Error - Spell Interface]
[26/07/2011 20:00:37] In a timer event called from:
[26/07/2011 20:00:37] data/spells/scripts/attack/dsw.luanCastSpell
[26/07/2011 20:00:37] Description:
[26/07/2011 20:00:37] (luaDoCombat) Creature not found

 

[Znote]

Make the timer event return true if creature is not present. Right now it most likely don't check if creature is recognized at all and error message appears.

Sample: You activate a spell, a "curse" on enemy player,

This curse lasts for 10 seconds, each second dealing 50 damage.

However: After 6 seconds, the character you cursed dies. He is no longer online (recognized by the script).

But the script will continue for (10 - 6 = 4) seconds, dealing damage to the creature. Buut daarnn.. ERROR pops up, creature not found! Because he is offline. The creature simply cant be found. (sadface).

So you should make a check on your events that makes sure that the creature is present before executing the character part of the script, else return true.
