Hello,

I made a new spell but there is no visual of the spell traveling and no hit effect either.

Can I see a typical normal script for the onCast command.

Here is my script so far.

defineSpell{
name = "chain_lightning",
class = "ProjectileSpell",
uiName = "Chain Lightning",
particleSystem = "lightning_bolt",
hitParticleEffect = "lightning_bolt_hit",
lightColor = vec(0.25, 0.5, 1),
lightBrightness = 15,
lightRange = 7,
lightHitBrightness = 40,
lightHitRange = 10,
castShadow = true,
launchSound = "lightning_bolt_launch",
projectileSound = "lightning_bolt",
hitSound = "lightning_bolt_hit_small",
projectileSpeed = 15,
attackPower = 60,
runes = "CDH",
skill = "air_magic",
level = 1,
manaCost = 10,
damageType = "shock",
--cameraShake = true,
tags = { "spell" },
onCast = function(champ, x, y, direction, skill)
end
}

Thx,

Can spells be given muliple damage types?

Thx,

You are trying to define a spell but using defineobject-commands, which won't work. A spell is made of two parts:
The defineSpell-part which rules manacost, type of spell and so on, and the defineObject part which you spawn from the onCast-command in the defineSpell:

So you need both of these:

Hello,

Great and thx for the script example. I never would have guess all of that.

Also I would like to give some spells more than one damage type. Is that possible.

The Meteor spell would be earth and fire. So I guess poison and fire damage.

Thx,

I think you'd have to make one spell that releases two separate objects.

So, onCast will need to launch two identical objects with separate damage types.

I cant seem to apply new textures for the new spells.

Not sure what format to save the textures for spells when the blend mode is additive. I change blend mode to opaque and that fixes that but then I get

bad argument #2 to '__newindex' (invalid enum)

Do I have to assign new indexes for the new texture for spell hit and so on.

I made my own particle system and just changed the path of one of the textures

defineParticleSystem{
name = "chainlightning_bolt_hit",
emitters = {
-- sparks
{
emissionRate = 80,
emissionTime = 1,
maxParticles = 50,
boxMin = {-0.5, -0.5, -0.5},
boxMax = { 0.5, 0.5, 0.5},
sprayAngle = {0,360},
velocity = {0,0},
objectSpace = false,
texture = "mod_assets/textures/chainlightning01.tga",
frameRate = 4,
frameSize = 256,
frameCount = 4,
lifetime = {0.2,0.4},
color0 = {2.5,2.5,2.5},
opacity = 1,
fadeIn = 0.1,
fadeOut = 0.3,
size = {0.1, 1.5},
gravity = {0,0,0},
airResistance = 1,
rotationSpeed = 0,
blendMode = "Opaque",
},

-- fog
{
spawnBurst = true,
maxParticles = 30,
sprayAngle = {0,360},
velocity = {0,3},
objectSpace = true,
texture = "assets/textures/particles/fog.tga",
lifetime = {0.4,0.6},
color0 = {0.25, 0.5, 1},
opacity = 0.7,
fadeIn = 0.1,
fadeOut = 0.3,
size = {1, 2},
gravity = {0,0,0},
airResistance = 0.5,
rotationSpeed = 1,
blendMode = "Additive",
},

-- glow
{
spawnBurst = true,
emissionRate = 1,
emissionTime = 0,
maxParticles = 1,
boxMin = {0,0,-0.1},
boxMax = {0,0,-0.1},
sprayAngle = {0,30},
velocity = {0,0},
texture = "assets/textures/particles/glow.tga",
lifetime = {0.5, 0.5},
colorAnimation = false,
color0 = {1, 1, 1},
opacity = 1,
fadeIn = 0.01,
fadeOut = 0.5,
size = {1, 1},
gravity = {0,0,0},
airResistance = 1,
rotationSpeed = 2,
blendMode = "Additive",
}
}
}

I can assign new sounds to new spells but new textures dont work.

Still cant get new textures to work inside new particle systems for new spells.

That's strange, particle system textures should work like other textures.
