Spell Storm of the Century

Btw: Apart from that, nice job with the spell ^^

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

I'll be releasing more spells in the future, maybe I'll even open a request thread for all sorts of simple/semi-simple scripts (for free!)

that's totally random and up to the spell, its the problem with random areas, they can either totally miss or hit the position you want 3 or 4 times

Well, of course randomness also adds a spicy touch. On the other hand it makes gaming more exciting in my opinion, but don't forget that randomness can lead you to hell enraged anger when you fail a target after casting the same spell 10 times to kill him xD

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

that would be too much bad luck xD

Yee, don't bet for it, random is evil xdd

 

[Darklord]

looks really nice :O

 

[J.Dre]

Pretty cool spell, Scarlet. I like it.

 

[Ranyo13]

I like it, especially the random effects everywhere
Keep it up.

Lol thats no problem.

simple solution.

do nextDirection = (currentdirection + math.random(-1,1)) % 4
and it will randomize a position between front, left and right of the cirent direction, and it will not go backwards.

it would need 4 tiles before getting into the same spot again.

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

I had it similar to that before, but I decided to eventually change it to be like this, I did it for some reason, but I can't remember it now

 

[MindRage]

actually was thinking of doing an first.public spellpack, got an 200 ~ concepts in a folder somewheree

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

nice
sucks that I'm so busy right now irl, otherwise we could both do them

 

[Andy Man]

Sweet, but this will totally lag a server imo.

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

it wont, unless everyone uses it at the same time

 

[hellboy]

Great idea, but why you use table it in this way? :

stormSpreads(cid, getCreaturePosition(cid), {math.random(config.minAttacks, config.maxAttacks)})

Imo here "{math.random(config.minAttacks, config.maxAttacks)}" brackets are useless in this case.

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

Yeah, its useless in that situation
Before I was using that table to carry extra values between the recursions, but in the end I ended up removing it and forgot to remove it xD

 

[whiteblXK]

very nice script, do these more

 

[Leman]

Nice spell. Rep+

 

[Xikini]

Not sure if any support here, but figured I'd give it a go on 0.3.7 crying damson
currently getting this error

Made no edit to the script from Scarlet.. and this is my spells.xml

<instant name="storm of the century" words="lmaorofl" lvl="10" mana="45" prem="0" range="3" casterTargetOrDirection="1" blockwalls="1" exhaustion="3000" groups="1,1000" icon="89" needlearn="0" event="script" value="wizard skills/storm of the century.lua">
  <vocation id="1"/>
  <vocation id="9"/>
  <vocation id="25"/>
  <vocation id="26"/>
  <vocation id="27"/>
   </instant>

Doesn't cast and gives that error.
Just wondering if there is an easy fix.

 

[MindRage]

Needs some editing.

for i = 1, #config.effectType[1] do
 if(efc < config.effectType[1][i]) then
  eff = config.effectType[2][i]
  break
 else
  efc = efc - config.effectType[1][i]
 end
end

look at line 28 and replace it with the above. Might still be some errors
