[TFS 1.2] Can't hit Invisble enemy with HMM

[Lyky]

Hi,
I have one of the odd ones, i am unable to hit stalker/invisible enemy with runes like hmm/lmm/sd; but I am able from GM account.

   local base = 30
   local variation = 10

local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_ENERGYDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_EXPLOSIONHIT)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_FIRE)

function onGetFormulaValues(cid, level, maglevel)
   local min = math.max((base - variation), ((3 * maglevel + 2 * level) * (base - variation) / 100))
   local max = math.max((base + variation), ((3 * maglevel + 2 * level) * (base + variation) / 100))
   return -min, -max
end

combat:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")

function onCastSpell(creature, variant)
   return combat:execute(creature, variant)
end

from spells.xml (taking out needtarget, allows player to shoot into empty spot)

    <rune group="attack" spellid="8" name="Heavy Magic Missile" id="2311" allowfaruse="1" charges="5" lvl="0" exhaustion="2000" groupcooldown="2000" maglv="3" needtarget="1" blocktype="solid" script="attack/heavy magic missile.lua"/>

Stalker is using following defense

    <defenses armor="14" defense="20">
       <defense name="invisible" chance="25" duration="30000">
           <attribute key="areaEffect" value="blueshimmer"/>
       </defense>

Any ideas?

The answer is right in front of you. needtarget="1", this means you need a target (1 being true, 0 being false) for the script to execute, gm/god do not have these limitations.

as i wrote, if removed you can hit anything with rune... even when there's nothing there.

Well gm's and up have certain flags which ignore specific conditions which should be met normally on a player, off hand I really can't think of what those conditions are.

It could be a condition missing here; but i understood variant was one that specified invis targets;


creature, variant.

function onCastSpell(creature, variant)
   return combat:execute(creature, variant)
end

unless i make creates use utana vid instead their original invis making it easy for players. Does that sound reasonable? or poor temp fix?
