If I target someone besides my self and cast the conjure corpse or summon corpse, it summons my corpse, not my targets, so CastToClient() is returning a pointer to my self. Now, if I can just figure out how to pass a pointer to my target or change the function it will work corectly.
I guess I will have to install Visual Studio 6 so I can do testing and compiles. I will keep working at it.

I am going to look through the forums maybe I can compile with make on fedora and run it in windows?
I guess the redhat computer could be the server, but I saw stuff about wine in the make file and wine is hard on memory. I am rambling, well.

Thank you.

split thread.

building on linux has nothing to do with wine, and is generally easier than windows.

That method is operating on whatever the target of the spell is, so the code that is there should be fine. Looking at the spells, I do not see any of them which are not "self target only", please post a lucy link if you think otherwise.

this would mean you need to use quest::selfcast if you want the shell to work from a quest.

No, it is not a quests, I am casting the spell as a necromancer, summon corpse and conjure corpse. It works fine on my self but if I target some one else, it will summon my corpse, if I have one in the zone. If I don

conjure corpse and summon corpse act like a self only spell when they should summon my targets corpse.

Thank You,

Might be a silly question here, but were you GROUPED with the other person? If I remember correctly, you had to be grouped with the Necro summoning the corpses for it to work.

Yes I was grouped.
I know necromancers can summon group members corpses on live.
I fell in the hole, you the zone the hole, any way my corpse would have been lost a guild member told me to get a coffin and he had a necromancer summon my corpse and then a the cleric resurrected me.

Here is a post on the everquest forums talking about necromancers summoning group members corpses: http://eqforums.station.sony.com/eq/...sage.id=261802

I would prove this by using my necro that I have on the live server but I am only level 29 and I don
