TFS0.36 Spellcreating - effects

[Gimmeahifive]

First of all, I have to say that I'm ta newb at scripts and etc, but i'm really trying to learn.


So, I've been searching for a solution to my problem for 2 days and couldn't find it yet, but maybe it's a simple thing for you guys to show me...

I'm having some issues on creating a spell with animated effects, like this one

I have managed to enlarge de hitbox of the spell by adding a second spell to the script with a "ghost" effect, don't know if it is the optimal way to do it, but thats the only thing i find and worked.

Now my problem is, how to make conditions to the Spell since i need it to use different animations when the character is facing Noth, South, East or West?

local combat1 = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat1, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat1, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_HYPERBEAM)
setAttackFormula(combat1, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, 5, 5, 2.5, 4)

local combat2 = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat2, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_POISONDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat2, COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, 19)
setCombatFormula(combat2, COMBAT_FORMULA_LEVELMAGIC, -0.8, 0, -1.3, 0)

arr1 = {
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},

{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
}

arr2 = {

{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
}

local area1 = createCombatArea(arr1)
local area2 = createCombatArea(arr2)
setCombatArea(combat1, area1)
setCombatArea(combat2, area2)

local function onCastSpell1(parameters)
doCombat(parameters.cid, combat1, parameters.var)
end

local function onCastSpell2(parameters)
doCombat(parameters.cid, combat2, parameters.var)
end


function onCastSpell(cid, var)
local parameters = { cid = cid, var = var}
addEvent(onCastSpell1, 0, parameters)
addEvent(onCastSpell2, 1000, parameters)
return TRUE
end

Oh and, can someone tell me why how is the correct way to add EFFECTS in CONST_ME to match the numbers on the script and the numers on my SPR ?
