Trouble with NPC casting

I am trying to make an npc cast the spell flurry every 25% which is supposed to just make him attack, but it just says "Khabahn's casting has been interrupted" everytime I fight him. Also the whole timer thing doesn't seem to be working at all

Code:

sub EVENT_COMBAT{

 if ($combat_state == 1){

 quest::settimer("knockback", 15);

 quest::setnexthpevent(75);

 }

 }

 sub EVENT_TIMER{

 if ($timer eq "knockback"){

  $target = $npc->GetTarget();

 $npc->CastSpell($target, 904);

 $client->Message(4,"A blow from Khabahn sends you flying.");

 quest::stoptimer("knockback");

 quest::settimer("knockback", 15);

 }

}

sub EVENT_HP{

 if ($hpevent == 75){

 $target = $npc->GetTarget();

  quest::shout("This is over!");

  $npc->CastSpell($target, 4607);

  $npc->CastSpell($target, 4607);

  $npc->CastSpell($target, 4607);

  $npc->CastSpell($target, 4607);

  $npc->CastSpell($target, 4607);

  $npc->CastSpell($target, 4607);

  quest::setnexthpevent(50);

 }

 if ($hpevent == 50){

  $target = $npc->GetTarget();

 quest::shout("Prepare yourself!");

  $npc->CastSpell(4607, $target);

  $npc->CastSpell(4607, $target);

  $npc->CastSpell(4607, $target);

  $npc->CastSpell(4607, $target);

  $npc->CastSpell(4607, $target);

  $npc->CastSpell(4607, $target);

  quest::setnexthpevent(25);

  }

 if ($hpevent == 25){

  $target = $npc->GetTarget();

 quest::shout("Take this!");

 $npc->CastSpell(470, $target);

 }

}

 sub EVENT_DEATH{

  quest::setglobal("arena", 8, 5, "F");

  quest::shout("No, how did this happen?!?");

  quest::setglobal("khabahn", 1, 5, "F");

  quest::signalwith(1370,3,1);

  quest::spawn(1371,0,0,-19, 106, 6.4);

}

usage:
Mob::CastSpell(spell_id, target_id, slot= 10, casttime= -1, mana_cost= -1)
so:
$npc->CastSpell(4607, $target->GetID());

So will that first one make them do it with no delay? And with that can I get rid of the $target = $npc->GetTarget()?

Ok I changed it to be like this

Code:

sub EVENT_COMBAT{

 if ($combat_state == 1){

 quest::settimer("knockback", 8);

 quest::setnexthpevent(75);

 }

 }

 sub EVENT_TIMER{

 if ($timer eq "knockback"){

  $target = $npc->GetTarget();

 $npc->CastSpell(904, $target->GetID());

 $client->Message(4,"A blow from Khabahn sends you flying.");

 quest::stoptimer("knockback");

 quest::settimer("knockback", 8);

 }

}

sub EVENT_HP{

 if ($hpevent == 75){

 $target = $npc->GetTarget();

  quest::shout("This is over!");

  $npc->CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID());

  $npc->CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID());

  $npc->CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID());

  $npc->CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID());

  $npc->CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID());

  $npc->CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID());

  quest::setnexthpevent(50);

 }

 if ($hpevent == 50){

  $target = $npc->GetTarget();

 quest::shout("Prepare yourself!");

  Mob::CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID(), slot= 10, casttime= -1, mana_cost= -1)

  Mob::CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID(), slot= 10, casttime= -1, mana_cost= -1)

  Mob::CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID(), slot= 10, casttime= -1, mana_cost= -1)

  Mob::CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID(), slot= 10, casttime= -1, mana_cost= -1)

  Mob::CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID(), slot= 10, casttime= -1, mana_cost= -1)

  Mob::CastSpell(2802, $target->GetID(), slot= 10, casttime= -1, mana_cost= -1)

  quest::setnexthpevent(25);

  }

 if ($hpevent == 25){

  $target = $npc->GetTarget();

 quest::shout("Take this!");

 Mob::CastSpell(470, $target->GetID(), slot= 10, casttime= -1, mana_cost= -1)

 }

}

 sub EVENT_DEATH{

  quest::setglobal("arena", 8, 5, "F");

  quest::shout("No, how did this happen?!?");

  quest::setglobal("khabahn", 1, 5, "F");

  quest::signalwith(1370,3,1);

  quest::spawn(1371,0,0,-19, 106, 6.4);

}

The knockback part of the timer works, but none of the other casts do anything

can anyone just rewrite that in a way they know will work? I've been working on it all day and can't get the thing to work with any spell.

Your problem with that is that sub EVENT_HP is probably not compiling because of Mob::CastSpell instead of $npc->CastSpell() in the final two if statements.

hm ok I'll try putting it back to like that

I finally got it working. I just changed the multiple casts for one cast of a powerful spell and changed the mob::quest thing. Thanks for the help KLS!
