quest:selfcast in LUA

heya,
i trying to get this command to run in LUA to setup an buff npc.

But i cant get this working with LUA.

Code:

function event_say(e)

        local myid = e.other:GetID();

        if(e.message:findi("hail")) then

                e.self:Say("Welcome, do you want some [" .. eq.say_link("buffs",false,"buffs") .. "]?");

        elseif (e.message:findi("buffs")) then

                e.self:CastToClient(18323, myid);

        end

end

The npc starts always to cast on him self. I tried all kind of combinations but i dont get the npc to cast a spell on me. I checked the return id from the function GetID and it looks ok.

I was not able to find any examples on the forum / web. And the LUA reference doesnt have any command for selfcast or something.

Thanks in advance for any hints. :)

Edit: Oh i see there is a quest:lua forum. Maybe someone can move this. Sorry for that.

Haven't really messed with our Lua that much, but try this:

Code:

function event_say(e)

    local myid = e.other:GetID();

    if(e.message:findi("hail")) then

        e.self:Say("Welcome, do you want some [" .. eq.say_link("buffs",false,"buffs") .. "]?");

    elseif (e.message:findi("buffs")) then

        e.self:CastSpell(18323, myid);

    end

end

Hello,
will check it out later when iam back home from work.

I wonder why i did use CastToClient instead of CastSpell.
Ofcourse it was to later yesterday. haha :)

Yeah, haha, no problem, not sure if my code will work or not, but probably worth trying at least.

The only way i got this running now is by using "other" instead of "self".

Code:

e.other:CastSpell(18323, myid, 0, 0, 0);

So this will come close to the selfcast function in perl.

Thank you ! :)

You can use..

Code:

eq.SelfCast(18323);

It makes the initiator of the quest self cast :)

If you are wonder where that is from its from the folder "lua_modules\general_ext.lua"
