Not quite following you here. Are you saying

$ent->CastSpell(2570, $ent, 10, -1, -1)

or

$npc->CastSpell(2570, $ent, 10, -1, -1)

or

CastSpell(2570, $ent, 10, -1, -1)

Because the last does nothing for me.

My post on the second page of this thread might have some useful script bits for what you are wanting to do:

An MPG would basically be the same code as in my CastOnGroup() plugin code in that thread, accept you should just have to remove all of the group check stuff.


One thing is that I believe CastSpell() can only do 1 target at a time. If the NPC is casting the spell on all of the AE targets, it is probably only going to land on 1 of them. In cases where you want multiple spells cast from the same mob at once, you should use SpellFinished():

SpellFinished(spell_id, spell_target = this, mana_cost = 0)

An example for your loop would be:

$npc->SpellFinished(1111, $ent);

I somehow missed this answer to my post. Dude that works awesome, now it shows the NPC casting the spell. I went ahead and changed my other scripts to this ! You are awesome !

Update:

I notice that this works with something like Skin like Nature, but with an NPC casting KEI will not work and I have to do a $ent->CastSpell(2570, $ent, 10, -1, -1)

I am guessing this is because of what you said here.

I don't know why that wouldn't work for KEI offhand. Should work fine.

Also, if you want the NPC to cast the spell, you want to use this instead:

$npc->CastSpell(2570, $ent, 10, -1, -1);

Though, doing that will limit the NPC to only being able to cast on 1 target at a time. That is why I recommended SpellFinished().

Not sure but with KEI she cast it on herself, but not me.

This is the block of code I am working with.

		my @moblist = $entity_list->GetMobList();
		foreach $ent (@moblist)
		{
			my $dist = $ent->CalculateDistance($npc->GetSpawnPointX(),$npc->GetSpawnPointY(),$npc->GetSpawnPointZ());
			my $level = $ent->GetLevel();
			if(int($dist)<100 && $level>=45 && $ent->IsClient())
			{
				#$npc->SpellFinished(2570, $ent);
				$npc->CastSpell(2570, $ent, 10, -1, -1)
			}
			elsif(int($dist)<100 && $level<45 && $ent->IsClient())
			{	
				quest::say("Sorry " . $ent->GetCleanName() . " you are too low to recieve this spell");
			}
		}

With either what you see, or un-remarking the other line of code, both she will cast on herself. If I change the $npc to $ent I will cast the spell on myself. If I change the spell to Skin like Nature it works fine, but KEI she will always cast on herself. My memory may be off but you had to be grouped to get KEI in Live, so I think this would make sense correct ? So essentially no matter who you have targetted it would only effect you and your group.
