TFS 1.0 Chain Spell && Arcane Missile

[Codinablack]

Greetings Otland. I come in request of an up to date chain spell such as chain lighting from http://otland.net/threads/gesior-noob-spells-collection.8019/

Second request is for a spell that is like diablo 3's arcane missile, where the missiles (animations) come out from the side of the player then meet together at target to do damage... I have seen it on some servers, I have even seen it in youtube video's but I can't find a code for how to do it anywhere...

More like WoW Missiles, but by adding more projectiles they will looks like those from D3.

Yes I seen your's, that's what made me want it so bad.... It's very nice, but I have no clue how to manipulate the animations like that....

For 0.3.6+
Didn't excepted the code can be so short for it. My WoW Arcane Missile's file are ten times much larger.

local minMissiles = 2

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_FIREDAMAGE)
setCombatFormula(combat, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -0.1, 0, -0.3, 0)

local function doBolt(cid, var, tar, pos, check)
    if check >= 7 then
        doSendDistanceShoot(pos, getCreaturePosition(tar), 37)
        doCombat(cid, combat, var)
    else
        check = check + 1
        local a, b = math.random(-1,1), math.random(-1,1)
        local npos = {x = pos.x + a, y = pos.y +b, z = pos.z}  
        -- doSendMagicEffect(npos, CONST_ME_ENERGYAREA)
        doSendDistanceShoot(pos, npos, 37)
        addEvent(doBolt, 100, cid, var, tar, npos, check)
    end
    return true
end

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
    local mlv = getPlayerMagLevel(cid)
    for i = 1, (minMissiles + math.floor(mlv/20)) do
        doBolt(cid, var, getCreatureTarget(cid), getCreaturePosition(cid), 0)
    end
    return true
end

Thank you very very much! You actually just made some things clear to me with this spell too! I have been confused about parameters for home made functions for a while now, but now I get it! This spell has helped me very much sir! Thank's man I appreciate it!

@andu do you think you could show me how to do a chain spell if you don't mind? Where once I hit the target, from there an effect comes out and hits another target in close range to the first one?

 

[andu]

Use this to declare the second target:

local t = getSpectators(pos, 3, 3, false)
local secondtarget = nil
if t > 0 then
    secondtarget = t[math.random(1, #t)]
end

 

[Codinablack]

Use this to declare the second target:

local t = getSpectators(pos, 3, 3, false)
local secondtarget = nil
if t > 0 then
    secondtarget = t[math.random(1, #t)]
end

I will try and play with it... Does it return the secondtarget's cid?

 

[Codinablack]

Use this to declare the second target:

local t = getSpectators(pos, 3, 3, false)
local secondtarget = nil
if t > 0 then
    secondtarget = t[math.random(1, #t)]
end

It says getSpectators returns a table, not numbers...

Add a number sign infront of t,

if #t > 0 then

 

[Codinablack]

Add a number sign infront of t,

if #t > 0 then

Thanks works great now
