Did you try it on a client without that source spell fix?

Admiral Refuge

Yes, it's on compiled.
Here, just give me a Scripts folder with everything in it. I haven't made much changes to the scripts yet, I'll put them back soon. Thanks.

Okay, now I'm frustrated...
I just installed this thing in a fresh Eclipse (compiled version, then source), and the animation is not working -_-

But, it works fine in RetardedOnline, as well as a fresh client, when I first made this

Admiral Refuge

Hmm.. Maybe post RO's script main.txt here? We can salvage the script

ok, i did everything you said, but i dont know why its not working, do u put the script as case 0? or what? like, i dont understand, and all that MP and stuff, do u replace MP with the MP or do u put MP, then then the amount of mp, and ty so much, like, every1 who reads this, know this, i love this guy, every single thing that i post he answers, yo man, u are getting so much credit, ty so much. =]

Luner

No worries, I was a newb once.

I explain how to do this stuff in more detail (how to call the spell) in Reply#11

And yes, the "mp", "val", etc, needs to be replaced with values (I say which values go to what in my opening post)

Admiral Refuge

This is really cool.

I did, how ever, find some not-yet-mentioned bugs:

-You can attack shopkeepers

-If  you don't have anything targeted, the spell appears at the 0,0 tile. I looked through it, and it looked like you had both the is and the else set to do the spell, but when I replaced the else actions with an MSG, it still shot in the corner.

Nevertheless, still good, and easy to add to.

o, well it works, but yeah, if some1 can fix animations it would be kooler, but awsome scripts, and the shop keeper thing, thx for potion that out, can some1 fix that, cuz that ruens my entire game...

Luner

Admittedly, I do not know how to use the GetNpcBehavior function; I could probably figure out which number it returns for which behavior, then I could just use an If <> Then statement for the shopkeeper and friendly NPC

Admiral Refuge

is range still an issue?

just make a range/distance sub and use a variable to determine what is too far away.
I made one but i no longer have vb installed atm.

you just compare X's and Y's and determine if the distance is too much.

No need for VB, just notepad

If you could give me the pseudocode, I can write a function for it.

Admiral Refuge

so how would u do that? and what about animation? any1 got anything for that?

Luner

Helpful, but when you're actually in the game, how do you use the spells from your character?  I know how to add them into the database and into the game, but how does my character cast the spells? 

And can you make up your own custom spells?  If so, what specific files do you need to add them to, where do you need to add them, does the name matter, etc?  I'm a newby programmer, so I don't know about this stuff....

And this is incredibly helpful, because 1 of the 2 classes in my game is purely magic-based.  If I can make my own skills, that'd be crazy.  This is, like.... wow.

You would make the spell as any other spell, just set the mode to "Scripted", and just install it as a Scripted Spell (in the scripted spell sub, refer to a tutorial on installing scripts).
And yes, you can customize it; that's why I have the Calls set up as they are.

As for animations, I have no clue why, but it seems the animations are only working for my server in my game; no clue what caused it -_-

Admiral Refuge

yeah, from what i now from scripting. (INREADABLE LITTLE, lol) ill try to fix the animations 

Luner

For some strange reason, this isn't working. I'm not a noob when it comes to scripting and I cant find the problem. I run a test on the main.txt and nothings wrong.

Yorty.

Which method did you install it?  Also, how did you call it?

Admiral Refuge

ok here is a shot an an algorythm for you...
Warning! I am rusty as i havent been scripting... just got back into it yesterday.
-------------------------------
range(index, target, range)
PX=playerx(...)
PY=playery(...)
TX=targetx(...)
TY=targety(...)

if TX is > PX+range or < PX-range then
tell player too far
repeat for Y
Else give the ok
------------------------------------------

OK, cool!  I'll have to try this for myself to see if it works.  And... (there's always another thing with me) how do you pick the animation?  Is it from the top of the picture in your Client>GFX>Spells file?  I guess I could test this, but it just seems easier to do it this way.  And in what folder does the music need to be in so that the file reads it?  I'll have my own custom music....
