Custom spell help

I'd apprecate any assistance with a set of custom spells, point me in the right direction if you are able.

I'd like to create a set of custom spells that directly interact with each other. The first spell is a detrimental spell that will be used as an NPC aoe. It needs to be unresistable with no partial resists, but can be mitigated by a set percentage if the player has the correct resist buff.

Example:
- Boss casts custom aoe
- player 1 does not have the associated custom resist buff and gets hit with unresistable 1000 damage
- player 2 currently has the associated custom resist buff and 90% of the damage is mitgated, player gets hit with 100 damage.

Thoughts?

The custom spell is the easy part really, you just have to write the encounter based on if the client has X buff or not they receive Y damage. This is just an example and definitely is not a final version to say the least, I'm just trying to show you how to do it.

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN {

    quest::setnexthpevent(80);

}



sub EVENT_HP {

    if ($hpevent ~~ [20, 40, 60, 80]) {

        Spell();

        quest::setnexthpevent(($hpevent - 20));

    }

}



sub Spell {

    my @hate = $npc->GetHateList();

    foreach my $hate_ent (@hate) {

        if ($hate_ent->GetEnt()->IsClient()) {

            if ($hate_ent->GetEnt()->FindBuff(X)) {

                $hate_ent->GetEnt()->Damage(100);

                $hate_ent->GetEnt()->Message(315, "You have been hit for 100 points of damage, mitigating 900 damage because you have X buff.");

            } else {

                $hate_ent->GetEnt()->Damage(1000);

                $hate_ent->GetEnt()->Message(315, "You have been hit for 1,000 points of damage because you did not have X buff.");

            }

        }

    }

}

Thanks, this was exactly what was looking for. So much to learn.

I was able to make some modifications to your example and get my stuff working as intended.

I like kingly's way, but I always use two different spells for X and Y.

X has certain item/buff and Y not having.
