TFS 1.X | Medusa Stun Beam with AddEvent Warning

[Fresh]

Hello there dear OTLanders!
Im looking for someone who can make simple spell for monster Medusa.
As everyone knows Medusa have ability to turn someone who is looking straight on her face into stone.
It's any possibility to make that spell on TFS 1.X with few addEvents into spell?
( Im weak on spell making - specially on AddEvents, so I decide to post this thread here. If anyone have time to help me I will be very thankful )

The spell should have two phases:
- One warning with simply appear effect X on monster (before casting the stun)
and after 2-3 seconds, something like that the next phase should:
- Wave in-front of Medusa and stun players on this beam for like 5 seconds (change outfit to X)

I can do other parts like no attacking while player is stunned by myself I only need monster spell with these 2 addEvents.

Anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance,
F.

Here is some info on addEvent
This is the basic structure of an addEvent.
addEvent(function name or anonymous function parentheses within those parentheses you can have parameters, execution time, arguments if any)
addEvent returns an event id that you can use with stopEvent() by passing it the eventId to you guessed it, stop the event.

An example of an addEvent using an anonymous function, its a function with no name you might have seen it, it takes this form. function() end
An example of defining one in addEvent

local arguments = "addEvent"
local executionTime = 1000
addEvent(function(parameter) 
    print("Wow I just executed an " .. parameter .. "!")
    end,
    executionTime, arguments
)

Both parameters & arguments if you have more than 1 are separated by commas, the parameters of a function whether anonymous or predefined its scope is only local to that function definition and does not exist outside of the function, arguments are containers that may hold a value which can and will be passed to the parameters so that function can process the data.

See this code, its for 0.3.6..

        local d = getDistanceBetween(getThingPos(cid), topos)
        addEvent(function, d * 70 + 100 - (d * 14) , cid, function2, false, false, typeee)
