Client Force-Cast

[Monrezz]

Is there a function for quest:: that forces a client to cast a spell? I'm sure I read about it somewhere, can't remember where though.

I would like an NPC to force the client to cast a group spell - quest::castspell($userid,spellid) currently only buffs the NPC.

How about just this? :

 castspell("$userid","spellid")

Maybe use it in an EVENT_SAY{ routine.....

Maybe used something like this:

    EVENT_SAY{

                                                if ($1-=~ "jerk")

                                                                        { 

                                                                        say("You should not have done that!")

                                                                        castspell("$userid","nukespell")

                                                                        say("Now it appears you have learned not to do that.")

                                                                        }
}

Though This is for .qst format (Im still learning hehe).

You DID see the sticky in this forum?! maybe try the command test script that came from Lurker005's post and that Eglin wrote..

sub EVENT_SAY() { 
   quest::say("Greetings. $name... I can tell you about [variables] and [commands] or you can give me items.") if ($text=~/hail/i); 
   quest::say("Want to test a variable?  Try [name]. [race]. [class]. [userid]. [ulevel]. [uguildid]. [mobid]. [mlevel]. [faction]. [zonesn]. [zoneln]. or [status]") if ($text=~/variabl/i); 
   quest::say("name = $name") if($text=~/name/i); 
   quest::say("race = $race") if($text=~/race/i); 
   quest::say("class = $class") if($text=~/class/i); 
   quest::say("userid = $userid") if($text=~/userid/i); 
   quest::say("ulevel = $ulevel") if($text=~/ulevel/i); 
   quest::say("uguildid = $uguildid") if($text=~/uguildid/i); 
   quest::say("mobid = $mobid") if($text=~/mobid/i); 
   quest::say("mlevel = $mlevel") if($text=~/mlevel/i); 
   quest::say("faction = $faction") if($text=~/faction/i); 
   quest::say("zonesn = $zonesn") if($text=~/zonesn/i); 
   quest::say("zoneln = $zoneln") if($text=~/zoneln/i); 
   quest::say("status = $status") if($text=~/status/i); 
   quest::say("Want to test a command?  Try [emote]. [shout]. [spawn]. [echo]. [summonitem]. [castspell]. [depop]. [cumflag]. [flagnpc]. [flagclient].[exp]. [level]. [safemove]. [rain]. [snow]. [givecash]. [pvp]. [doanim]. [addskill]. or [me]") if($text=~/command/i); 
   quest::emote("emotes before you.") if ($text=~/emote/i); 
   quest::shout("Is this shouting?") if ($text=~/shout/i); 
   quest::say("I don't feel like spawning anything right now") if($text=~/spawn/i); 
   quest::echo("this is an echo echo echo echo echo") if ($text=~/echo/i); 
   quest::summonitem(17969) if ($text=~/summonitem/i); 
   quest::castspell(278, $id) if ($text=~/castspell/i); 
   quest::say("awww... I don't wanna!") if ($text=~/depop/i); 
   quest::exp(100) if ($text=~/exp/i); 
   quest::level($ulevel + 1) if ($text=~/level/i); 
   quest::safemove() if ($text=~/safemove/i); 
   quest::rain(1) if ($text=~/rain/i); 
   quest::snow(1) if ($text=~/snow/i); 
   quest::givecash(0,0,0,50) if ($text=~/givecash/i); 
   quest::pvp("on") if ($text=~/pvp/i); 
   quest::doanim(3) if ($text=~/doanim/i); 
   quest::me("The heavens applaud you.") if ($text=~/me/i); 
}

Sorry, using Perl. It's not that hard to learn - very similar to the qst format except you need to remember quest:: and ;.

Yes, but as you can see the only command there for casting is quest::castspell - which doesn't work. Also, there are a few new functions in that posts could do with being updated

I'm not sure if its out in cvs yet (I think t is - check parser.cpp source) but quest::selfcast("spellid"); I think is what you want.

It causes a spell to be cast on the target - probably for those spells where the target can only be self and can't be cast on others. If you use quest::castspell with those, it causes he spell to be cast on the NPC as I recall.

That's the one - thanks Scorp

Yea I know :( I have been pretty busy lately and havn't had much time to review what has made it into the CVS.

Nevermind, did it myself
