Spell question

[Serryon123]

Hello everyone im currently working on my server City of Carnage you may have seen it on the server list as "A Work in progress" but anyway I was wondering if anyone knew a way to EDIT already made spells, or if there was a program, or if there was a way to actually CREATE a new spell? Any info on this would be great. Thanks in advance.

Ah great thx, I cant get it to work just yet not sure why but im sure playing around with it some more ill figure it out. Also had another question, this is my first emu server and im still a learning GM, but im trying to script a boss, i can make it cast AoE spells fine using this line $npc->CastSpell(1653,userid); how would i make it cast a single target spell like a single target lifetap or something? they dont seem to work. Was also wondering how to make adds despawn upon aggro loss? tried googling but i cant seem to find any good info about eqemu on google. Thanks in advance.

$npc->CastSpell(1653,userid);

Instead use

$npc->CastSpell(1653,$client);

If you will post the full script we can help you get it working.

Ahh ok, well the script works, ill try that when i get home later on a single target spell, maybe sum1 can post a guide or something on script spells? like is there a way to make the spells he casts instant, even tho they have a cast time for players, and a way to make it so they cast the spell throughout the whole fight and maybe on a certain timer? appreciate all the help!

[Dibalamin]

As far as script wise? I'm not aware of a way to make a spell fire off instantly without creating a new copy & setting it to 0 cast time in the editor. However, in spell sets giving a spell a mana cost of -2 will make it instant cast I believe.

So, for scripting, if you need a spell to have a zero casting time, you will have to copy the spell you want to have no casting time, change the copies casting time and then use that new ID in your script.

Least this is the way I did it as I couldn't find accurate information to the contrary.

For firing spells on a timer, you will need to use


sub EVENT_TIMER {
if($timer eq "nuke") {
$npc->CastSpell(ID,Target);
}
}


Tying the timer to combat is generally the best idea


sub EVENT_COMBAT {
if ($combat_state == 1) {
quest::settimer("nuke",15);
}
if ($combat_state == 0) {
quest::stoptimer("nuke");
}
}
