Spell Swap Positions

[Serginov]

It's time for me to release my first spell ever! woho!
I saw this some pages back and decided to make one myself but with some improvements.

In the notAllowed list you may add players, monsters or part of names that won't be swapable
There is an exhaust check inside the script so it won't affect any other spell.
When you swap positions with someone you will get slowed for 3 seconds(slow and slow time configurable at config)
Not tested on players. Can't find why that would be a problem anyway.

Spells/Support/swap.lua

local combat = createCombatObject()

local config = {
    notAllowed = {"training monk", "Slaktaren", "Admin"},
    exhaustStorage = 1338,
    exhaustTime = 5, -- Seconds
    slowStorage = 1339,
    slowTime = 3, -- Seconds
    slowSpeed = 100, -- Speed will be set to 100 when swaping for slowTime seconds.
    }

function effect(cid, var, targetpos, mypos, target)
    doSendMagicEffect(mypos, CONST_ME_ENERGYHIT)
    doSendMagicEffect(targetpos, CONST_ME_ENERGYHIT)
end

function slowed(cid, speed)
    doChangeSpeed(cid, getPlayerStorageValue(cid, config.slowStorage) - getCreatureSpeed(cid))
    doSendMagicEffect(getCreaturePosition(cid), CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN)
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    setPlayerStorageValue(cid, config.slowStorage, getCreatureSpeed(cid))
    local mypos = getCreaturePosition(cid)
    local target = getCreatureTarget(cid)
    local targetpos = getCreaturePosition(target)
    if not exhaustion.get(cid, config.exhaustStorage) then
        for _,v in ipairs(config.notAllowed) do
            if string.find(getCreatureName(target):lower(), v) then
                doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You can't swap " .. getCreatureName(target) .. "!")
                doSendMagicEffect(mypos, CONST_ME_POFF)
                return false
            else
                doTeleportThing(cid, targetpos)
                doTeleportThing(target, mypos)
                doChangeSpeed(cid, -getCreatureSpeed(cid)+config.slowSpeed)
                doSendDistanceShoot(mypos, targetpos, CONST_ANI_ENERGYBALL)
                doSendDistanceShoot(targetpos, mypos, CONST_ANI_ENERGYBALL)
                addEvent(effect, 150, cid, var, targetpos, mypos, target)
                addEvent(slowed, config.slowTime * 1000, cid, speed)
                exhaustion.set(cid, config.exhaustStorage, config.exhaustTime)
            end
        end
    else
        doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You have to wait " .. exhaustion.get(cid, config.exhaustStorage) .. " seconds to swap positions again!")
        return false
    end
    doCombat(cid, combat, var)
    return true
end

Guess that's all for now! Have fun

Hmm, wouldn't it be better to use string.find instead of isInArray, so it checks for phrases like 'Administrator', 'GM', etc..
But it's still a good script though

 

[Serginov]

Edit; speed bug fixed. Thank you unkown

 

[Ecstacy]

Add a storage which saves your speed before it changes, then reapply that value as speed again.

 

[Serginov]

Hum, how do I use string.find? ;P

for i,v in ipairs(config.notAllowed) do
    if string.find(v, getCreatureName(target)) then

couldn't get it to work like that ;P Gonna check around and see how it works. hehe

 

[Ecstacy]

Here this may become handy, lua-users wiki: Patterns Tutorial .
I'll let you finish the script so you can learn about the function

 

[Serginov]

Thank you for the help unkown! The script is working perfect now!

 

[Ecstacy]

no problem and I'm now officially 17 years old

 

[Serginov]

! Congrats! I'm also 17! 18 in 20 days!

 

[Ecstacy]

! Congrats! I'm also 17! 18 in 20 days!

Thanks wish I was 18 already, so I can finally buy weed myself in a shop and get my car license

 

[Serginov]

Haha, nice

Baba going to bed now. School tomorrow!

 

[Iblop]

[Serginov]

[TheMaX]

Nice spell man! Oo'
Can you make me a Kawarimi no Jutsu Narute Spell please?

 

[Serginov]

Thanks.

I hate naruto or what that is from. So I guess not, but if you tell me what it is I can make it. Maybe.

 

[Ecstacy]

The power of youtube.
YouTube - Kawarimi No Jutsu

 

[Serginov]

Uhm... Isn't this exactly the same...?

 

[Ecstacy]

I have no idea, I don't watch naruto and neither did I watch the video, but I did watch naruto for a while and I can just tell it's a naruto jutsu/spell.

 

[Forsakenfate]

Great spell, too bad the notAllowed list only accepts the first monster in the list=/
Could you take look at that?

 

[seleo]

hey could you change this spell to be a rune ?
