[TFS 1.0] Area Effects Script Template

[Jaed Le Raep]

Hey guys, I've been having a desire to have certain area effects be triggered when a movement is made onto a certain tile, or even randomly ever x minute. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could make a lua script that would act as a template that I could transform into different uses, but the end result would be certain area effects/animations would take place. Kind of like spell animations, but without the casting of a spell.

<globalevent name="randEff" interval="1000" script="randeff.lua"/>

local config = {
    fromPos = Position(1996, 1998), --the first is x and the second is y
    toPos = Position(2003, 2002), --the first is x and the second is y
    floor = 6,
    randomEffects = false, -- this will send out random effects from 1, 70
    effect = CONST_ME_FIREAREA --if you make random true, then dont bother to edit this
}

function onThink(interval)
    for x = config.fromPos.x, config.toPos.x do
        for y = config.fromPos.y, config.toPos.y do
            local pos = Position(math.random(x+2, x), math.random(y-2, y), config.floor)
            if config.randomEffects then
                pos:sendMagicEffect(math.random(CONST_ME_LOSEENERGY, CONST_ME_CONFETTI_VERTICAL))
            else
                pos:sendMagicEffect(config.effect)
            end
        end
    end
    return true
end

Enjoy.
