IsEpic
ProcDamage

[John Adams]

Code: Select all

Say(NPC, "I am epic!")

I find myself saying this all the time.

LMAO

IsEpic
ProcDamage

Guess I don't have to ask for a LUA function to test for Epic like I was gonna do when I got home.

11:50:41 E LUA : Error loading Spells/Scout/CheapShot.lua:11: ')' expected near ',' (file name: 'Spells/Scout/CheapShot.lua')

Code: Select all

function precast(Caster, Target)
    -- Does not affect Epic targets
    return (not IsEpic(Target), 43)
end

I fixed the what I thought was a missing paren, but LUA engine still complaining about this line.


side note: I don't think LUA:Precast made it to the wiki, as I cannot seem to search for it.

[Jabantiz]

That is my mistake sorry, should have been

Code: Select all

return (not IsEpic(Target)), 43

And I never put precast on the wiki, will look into making a page for it and other new functions like this (equip, unequip, combat_reset, and so on) this weekend

EDIT: Just fixed the error on the editor

[John Adams]

Let me ask this, since I tend to not understand double and triple negatives == true

Doesn't precast() just return true/false (and your new error code)? So why do you need a (not (check-if-true)) double dip? Can't it just be IsEpic or not?


Edit: Oh, is this precast a check that if it is NOT IsEpic, then it's True? lol... my god, how does this make sense to you? haha

Edit2: So it could more practically be

Code: Select all

if IsEpic(Target) then
  return false;
else
  return true;
end

???

[Jabantiz]

Yes it is checking to make sure the target is not epic

And yes your code is the same result.

Later then I intended but I put precast on the spell scripts wiki page, haven't put the others up yet as there is no pages for item, zone, quest, or spawn scripts. I will work on these but it will take some time.

[Jabantiz]

Worked on the wiki pages and added basic info

Spawn scripts
Quest Scripts
Item Scripts
Zone scripts

I had planned to add a lot more and basically make them like tutorials but the more I think of it it might be better to leave them like this as a reference and detailed info on how to use them in a tutorial page. Thoughts?
