Script Spell

[lonedeltaforce]

How do i script a spell that does damage and is not AoE?

I want a spell that does 5 damage to an NPC or Player.

I am new to scripting any piece of information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

figure out if target(of player) is greater than 0
if so then target = getplayertarget(index) otherwise target = getplayertargetnpc(index)

for both cases get target hp and set it to a variable.
then subract your desired damage from the hp.
then set the player or npcs health to the new hp.
then update player or npc.

If you take your time, what i just gave you will make your script.
you can then look into adding an animation.
You really need to learn how to script.
I hope this helps.

Scripters are a dying race, thats why i'm trying to learn how to script.

[shadowwulf]

dont just learn… be one that learns to teach... dont learn it then give out scripts to everyone when they ask.
thats why no one k now how to do it anymore

although i agree with you i believe that tutorials arent enough, i have used heaps of examples in my scripts just to form my own, and look im learning…

For a scripted spell that simple, why not use the default sub hp type of spell, why make it scripted?

[shadowwulf]

1.a couple people are making their own spell systems.
2.some people dont know there is a fixed exe for the spells bug.
3.learning experience

[DrNova]

where is the fixed exe?
And does it fix animation also?

I have damage working(I dont know if it already damages in current announcments exe, or it was the code snippet from Scribbles I used) but not animation

[lonedeltaforce]

wheres the exe that fixes the spell bug?
