Animation over PlayerTarget?

[Squiddle]

    Hi everyone, it's me, Squiddle =). I was wondering, how would you use spellAnim(blahblahblah) witch GetPlayerTarget? Like, how would you make it show a spell over top of the Player's Current target?

[Eviltyphoon]

If getplayertarget return the index of the target player (idk if it does that or the name), then it's something like this:

Call SpellAnim(SpellNum, GetPlayermap(Getplayertarget(Index)), GetPlayerx(Getplayertarget(Index)), GetPlayery(Getplayertarget(Index)))

The index number is basically how the engine identifies who the script runs for. GetPlayerTarget, as Eldaren pointed out, stands in for the normal index. You'd just plug that number in to get the target's index, and therefore have the script affect them.

Hmmm, how could I do that then? I tried your script Eldarin, but it gives me a lot of subscripts out of range problems, and yes I did change the spell number =/.

You probably tried it on an npc, and GetPlayerTarget only works with players. I don't directly see a command to fix it, but that because I suck at remembering the commands.

[Squiddle]

Rats. Anyone else know how to make it work on an NPC?

I belive its GetPlayerTargetNPC(Index)

Hmmm, still getting Subscript out of Range. Here's my Case 1 of my Scripted Spell Sub:

```
Case 1
range = Rand(+3,-3)
dmg = ((GetPlayerMAGI(Index) / 2) + range)
Target = GetPlayerTargetNPC(Index)
            Call DamageNPC(Index, Target, (dmg+5))
Call SpellAnim(1, GetPlayermap(Index), GetPlayerx(GetPlayerTargetNPC(Index)), GetPlayerx(GetPlayerTargetNPC(Index)))
Call SetPlayerMP(index, (GetPlayerMP(index)-10))
Exit Sub
```

Ofcourse you're getting subscript out of range… You're trying to get NPC locations with commands meant for player. GerPlayerX, GetPlayerY, GetplayerMap only work for players.
