event_case - LUA

How do I get the id or the name of the spell being cast?

This is in my global_player.lua

Code:

function event_cast(e)

        e.self:Message(1, "Casting spell " ..  e.other.Name());

end

I have tried e.spell and e.other. The Lua wiki is not really helping me, I normally have to guess a lot of incorrect times before I finally figure it out.

Here's what the Lua Parser reference says.

Code:

event_cast

Client self;

Spell spell;

This is what i am using in my global_player.lua

Just a snippet from a rather long set of spell checks, can post more of the code if need be.

Code:

function event_cast(e) 



        local PLVL = e.self:GetLevel();

        

        local Mana = e.self:GetMana();

        local ManaCost = (PLVL*5);

        local NewMana = (Mana - ManaCost);

        

        

        local Spell_ID = e.spell:ID();

        local Spell_Name = e.spell:Name();

        

        local Target = e.self:GetTarget();

        local Target_ID = Target:GetNPCTypeID();

        

                        

        



        if(Spell_ID == 12000) then --spell id check ------------------------------------------------

        

                e.self:Message(5, "I CASTED SPELL: " ..Spell_ID);

                e.self:Message(5, "I CASTED SPELL: " ..Spell_Name);



    end

end

You guys realize there is a spell quest system? "<zone>/spells/<spellid>.ext" and "global/spells/<spellid>.ext"

I tried until my eyes bled to get the global/spells/spellid to do what I wanted but could not get it to work right. See my post in this section if you haven't yet. I am using global_player until I can figure it out.

Here is an example quest I use... the invis 100 is custom though..

SpellID.lua
11.lua

Code:

function event_spell_effect(e)

        if(e.target) then

                eq.get_entity_list():RemoveFromTargets(e.target, true);

                e.target:SetInvisible(100);

                e.target:Emote("vanishes into thin air."); 

        end

end

I just noticed you are using global_player.. so ya this would only work in... global /spells / spellid.lua

Much easier to keep track of spells this way though :p

This might help in the future for finding the correct variable names.

http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?spell_Events
http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?NPC_Events
http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?player_Events

When using the global / spells / spellID.lua

Code:

function event_spell_effect(e)

        e.target:Shout("Buff name is " .. e.self:Name() .. " Buff ID is " .. e.self:ID());

end
