how to gain xp with an attack spell created?

[Grimwold]

@flatline - You're right of course.. just add all the relevant bitfields together

If I'm not mistaken we want:
bit 2 = 4
bit 3 = 8
bit 4 = 16
bit 5 = 32

4+8+16+32 = 60 (plus any of the other bitfields)

As far as common values go it's probably easier to think of it as on or off states... decide which bits you want and then add up all the values.

Code: Select all

bit 0: monsters recoil from the impact                            =   1
bit 1: ongoing damage such as poison cloud                        =   2
bit 2: damage originated from champion with ordinal index 1       =   4
bit 3: damage originated from champion with ordinal index 2       =   8
bit 4: damage originated from champion with ordinal index 3       =  16
bit 5: damage originated from champion with ordinal index 4       =  32
bit 6: ignore immunities                                          =  64
bit 7: halve damage of back row party members                     = 128

so 0,2 and 6 would be = 69

Ah yes, that's a little chart we need to have well known, thanks!

I was just about to say that you should be able to put in the binary number, but after double checking, it seems like you need the integer equivalent.

[Xanathar]

Try this function:

Code: Select all

function getDamageFlags(recoilmonsters, ongoingdamage, fromchamp1, fromchamp2, fromchamp3, fromchamp4, ignoreimmunities, halfdamageofbackrow)
	local result = 0
	
	if (recoilmonsters) then result = result + 1; end
	if (ongoingdamage) then result = result + 2; end
	if (fromchamp1) then result = result + 4; end
	if (fromchamp2) then result = result + 8; end
	if (fromchamp3) then result = result + 16; end
	if (fromchamp4) then result = result + 32; end
	if (ignoreimmunities) then result = result + 64; end
	if (halfdamageofbackrow) then result = result + 128; end

	return result
end

You can use it passing a whole lot of boolean to compose the final result.

Not tested, since not at home.

thanks you for all your answers,
but my English not being very top, I do not quite understand
In any case of magic missile Jkos works very well and gives xp all champions, superb

My final problem is to make a "party:shakecamera" when the missile hits a wall, monster, or the champions ...


thank you all for all

That is possible but it's pretty hard to implement. The only way to do it is to make a timer with small interval (about 0.1 second) which checks if the projectile is found in dungeon (with findEntity). If it's not found, you know that it has hit something so you can call party:shakeCamera() . Sorry no example now.

You can get the id of the shot projectile like this:

Code: Select all

	shootProjectile('magic_missile', caster.level, caster.x, caster.y, caster.facing, speed, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,damage, caster, true)

	local projectile = nil
	for ent in entitiesAt(caster.level, caster.x, caster.y) do
		if ent.name == 'magic_missile' then
			projectile = ent
			break
		end
	end
        print(projectile.id)

...only way to do...

or you could coat every surface in the entire dungeon with hidden receptors!!!

[JKos]

Ok, I guess that's a another way

thanks Jkos,
for the moment it is too hard for me, I will deal it later.
I will continue my dungeon


Thanks you again
