[EO] Complex Spell Scaling Equation (SERVER ONLY)

[RyokuHasu]

There are a few of these out already and i thought I would share my Slightly more complex Spell scaling with everyone. It combines a few existing tutorials and adds in a but more math .

SERVER ONLY

In modCombat

Find: "Sub CastSpell" scroll down a bit an find " ' set the vital"

you should see

```
Vital = Spell(spellnum).Vital

```Or your previous mod…

Replace it with
```
Vital = Spell(spellnum).Vital

    Vital = Round((Vital * 0.7)) * Round((Player(index).Level * 1.14) )* Round((Stats.Intelligence + (Stats.Willpower / 2)))

    If Spell(spellnum).Type = SPELL_TYPE_HEALHP Then
    Vital = Vital + Round((GetPlayerStat(index, Stats.Willpower) * 0.6))
    End If

    If Spell(spellnum).Type = SPELL_TYPE_DAMAGEHP Then
    Vital = Vital + Round((GetPlayerStat(index, Stats.Intelligence) * 0.6))
    End If

```

***KEEP THE ORIGINAL VITAL LOW WHEN MAKING SPELLS!!!***

The point of scaling them is so that you dont have to raise the vitals in the editer any more that 100 at the very most

You may fiddle witht the numbers to adjust it as you see fit.

Hope this make Your casting classes more fun  :P

*It is not recomended that you edit this extensively with out understanding of basic algebra and stat functions

Nice tutorial, works great. Thanks!

[RyokuHasu]

Thank you

[Suppositoire]

I doesn't understand too much, your script allows to enlarge spells?

[Yxxe]

@Suppositoire:

> I doesn't understand too much, your script allows to enlarge spells?

A spells' damage is determined by a calculation using the players Level, Intelligence and Willpower.

[Lavos]

I like how this code works.

[RyokuHasu]

Thank you, It's FAR better than the first few scaling scripts. but only cause it combines all of them and adds in my own math skills. ^_^

[SpiceyWolf]

How would i apply this to a code that was customized?

example(unless this was normally like this…the area was edited so much i dont know... but this is only place with vitals=vitals(bla) ect in it in my whole module)

If Spell(spellNum).Special > 0 Then
        Select Case Spell(spellNum).Special
            Case 1 'Fire Spell
                Vital = Spell(spellNum).Vital + (GetPlayerStat(index, intelligence) * (10 * GetPlayerLevel(index)))
            Case Else 'Anything else
                Vital = Spell(spellNum).Vital
            End Select
    Else
    Vital = Spell(spellNum).Vital
    End If

I tried replacing the bottom one or just one part of the code at a time and all of them with the whole thing u said to replace... but every time i get rte's or errors...

[RyokuHasu]

That has almost nothing to do with My spell scaling, wich is just 3 diffrent spell scaling scripts crammed into one.

For this problem go to the Q&A section and Post the exact runtime error and other info.

[SpiceyWolf]

i was just confused where it came from anyway >.> so i didnt know sorry… i spent some time lookin at it carefully and finally knoticed what it was from and figured out how to fix it... thanks for your time tho

[RyokuHasu]

XD sorry about my sight rudness, if that what it seemed like.

[SpiceyWolf]

No actually (even tho it might have been clear as hell to most people with a brain which i dont have half the time >.>) you helped me realize why i was getting it wrong… i found out how to make my own spell scaling mods out of it after u helped me see what was wrong with it XD

[UzGo]

I have problem . When i was done i started to compile my server and then it said "Block If without End If"
what that means and how i can fix it ???

[Beanie93]

Make sure you have copy-pasted the whole block of code.
An alternative is just to add 'End If' at the end of your pasted code.

[quintensky]

i made a script wich only involves player level an intelligence :P nice work :)

[chamster]

i can't get it to work… making me frustrated xD... please help. i tryed to add it in but it's not working.

> i can't get it to work… making me frustrated xD... please help. i tryed to add it in but it's not working.

You mean that nothing happens? Did you compile it? (In Visual Basic 6: File > Make .exe).

>.< this is the easiest source edit ever, so I lol'd.

But ya, if you haven't yet, try Soul's Idea.

[Tic Tac 2]

Sorry, but i just fucking love you.
Also i'd like to suck your penis.

[RyokuHasu]

Dude, not cool. I'm tempted to report you for sexual harassment.

[Tic Tac 2]

As long as it satisfies you

[kahnival]

So if I'm reading this right…Willpower increases your healing spell and Inteligence increases your damage spells?

[RyokuHasu]

yep =P but both increase both just a bit

[kahnival]

Ah ok cool just checking I was reading it both :D

edit: Also I'm a nub at math so uhm…How much does it add per point of int/will?

[Snoozey]

Hopefully it is ok to put this here. This tutorial will make all spells scale  equal correct? Such that a warrior spell will scale at the same rate as a mage spell.

I would like to make it so warrior spells scale the exact same way, but have there own formula. Not quit sure how to do something like this. I am assuming it would be a case type thing?

like Case1: (this tutorial)
Case2: (this tutorial + new forumula)

Would I be correct? Also any help would be appropriated, I am not very good at coding, learning as I go.
