Lua (TFS 0.4) How to make player not able to cast spells?

[marek12]

Anyone knows how to make player not able to use spells? It may be done with storage value or whatever
Is there a function for that?

 

[Xikini]

If the player doesn't own a spell, they can't cast it.

spells.xml

needlearn="1"

Then use the below commands in order to add/remove their use to a player.

doPlayerLearnInstantSpell(cid, name)
doPlayerUnlearnInstantSpell(cid, name)

Or, if it's for a gm/cm/god you could edit the player flags
PlayerFlag_CannotUseSpells

You'd have to go into const.h in order to find the value of that flag in your server though.

looking more to make unable to cast just for the period of event is running OR for like 10 seconds. (maybe may be done with adding exhaust for all spells?)
and by event I mean the repeatable action, not like zombie event

 

[andu]

local muted = createConditionObject(CONDITION_MUTED)
setConditionParam(muted, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 3000)

function....
return doAddCondition(target, muted)
end

 

[marek12]

local muted = createConditionObject(CONDITION_MUTED)
setConditionParam(muted, CONDITION_PARAM_TICKS, 3000)

function....
return doAddCondition(target, muted)
end

I guess it will mute completely the person.
Looking to just make unable to cast spells. ^^

So the easy way is to mute the player.. But then the player experience is lowered, since they literally cannot talk at all, in pm's / to npc's / et cetera

I'd recommend instead to create a function inside all of your spells to disable them.

so in data/lib/050-function.lua add this function

-- if this returns true, then the player is exhausted
function spellExhausted(cid)
    if not isPlayer(cid) then
        return false
    end
    if getCreatureStorage(cid, 45001) == 1 then
        return true
    end
    return false
end

and then under the function onCastSpell(cid, var) put this

if spellExhausted(cid) then
    -- can add some text here if you want, telling the player they are spell exhausted.
    return false
end

I like Xikini
He still supports older tfs version users while other users telling us to use 1.2 or 1.3
thanks for your help xikini

yeah and as one person saying it's impossible, he's making the way to overcome it and make it possible.
This is what I am trying to do as well, so I really like him
