It's not a bug, it's just refresh lag (I do believe)
Look around in modCombat, you could add something like UpdateVitals or w.e. the sub is that refreshes the health bar after every Hot, Dot and Initial spell cast.

hm… do you know how i can do this i dont know how :(

Yea I noticed this in other people games… It only updates when ur being attacked... a couple of things don't update until ur being attacked :\

[Wortel Angels]

yes… can't we do an timer or anything that update it ? >.< i know its possible but i dont know how xD

[Justn]

I guess we should just add the call updatestats and  mp/hp updates to things that need it like L said.. I recently tried to do this to the buff system ryoku posted but it didn't work ou.t. I haven't tried to do it for other things though.. I guess I will try when I get home today unless someone else can point us in a better direction

[Wortel Angels]

i was testing it out with the spell pic refresh tutorial but its not working >.<
I hope anyone know an reason :D

The server will force update vitals every 5 seconds. However, an immediate update may be desired in some cases.

So whenever you want to force a vital update:
```
Call SendVital(index, Vitals.HP) ' force HP
Call SendVital(index, Vitals.MP) ' force MP

```
So, bug fix time. Yaaaay.

* * *

**Server-side:**

Find:
```
Public Sub SpellPlayer_Effect(ByVal Vital As Byte, ByVal increment As Boolean, ByVal index As Long, ByVal Damage As Long, ByVal spellnum As Long)

```
Now, **right before the last End If** add:
```
SendVital index, Vital

```
**Fixing HoTs**

First find:
```
Public Sub HandleHoT_Player(ByVal index As Long, ByVal hotNum As Long)

```
and under:
```
Player(index).Vital(Vitals.HP) = Player(index).Vital(Vitals.HP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital

```
add:
```
SendVital index, Vitals.HP

```

>! If you're using the bug fix that [I have here](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,78899.msg846249.html#msg846249), instead follow these steps:
>! Find:
```
If Spell(.Spell).Type = SPELL_TYPE_HEALHP Then
  SendActionMsg Player(index).Map, "+" & Spell(.Spell).Vital, BrightGreen, ACTIONMSG_SCROLL, Player(index).x * 32, Player(index).y * 32
  SetPlayerVital index, Vitals.HP, GetPlayerVital(index, Vitals.HP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital
Else
  SendActionMsg Player(index).Map, "+" & Spell(.Spell).Vital, BrightBlue, ACTIONMSG_SCROLL, Player(index).x * 32, Player(index).y * 32
  SetPlayerVital index, Vitals.MP, GetPlayerVital(index, Vitals.MP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital
End If
>! ```
and change it to:
```
If Spell(.Spell).Type = SPELL_TYPE_HEALHP Then
  SendActionMsg Player(index).Map, "+" & Spell(.Spell).Vital, BrightGreen, ACTIONMSG_SCROLL, Player(index).x * 32, Player(index).y * 32
  SetPlayerVital index, Vitals.HP, GetPlayerVital(index, Vitals.HP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital
  SendVital index, Vitals.HP
Else
  SendActionMsg Player(index).Map, "+" & Spell(.Spell).Vital, BrightBlue, ACTIONMSG_SCROLL, Player(index).x * 32, Player(index).y * 32
  SetPlayerVital index, Vitals.MP, GetPlayerVital(index, Vitals.MP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital
  SendVital index, Vitals.MP
End If
>! ```

Use:
```
Call SendStats(Index)

```
As for the speed of the bug fixes, thanks.

[Wortel Angels]
