Does anyone know of a basic spell system or have that can post?
Just the basic functions to send the spell.
Thanks in advance.

Erm...
No one knows of some "basic!" (the basic of) spell system?
I tryed several ways i really need some help...
Anyone?

what kind of spell systeem must it be
if you press a key you trow a fireball ore liken in the newest harry poter serie?

something like that yes.
Just the basic funcions.
Something Like this:

BMAP spell_pan = <spell.pcx>;
var spell_speed;
var distance[3];
var angle[3];
var position[3];
var mana = 30;
var max_mana = 30;
var dist;
PANEL spell_panel
{
pos_x = 100; pos_y = 100;
BMAP = spell_pan;
flags = d3d,refresh;
}
function spell()
{
WHILE(1)
{
if(mana >= max_mana)
{ mana = max_mana; }
if((key_e) && (key_t)){ aim(); }
if(key_t){ fire(); }
WAIT(1);
}
}
function aim()
{
spell_panel.VISIBLE = ON;
if(key_t){ fire(); }
}
function init_spell()
{
angle.pan = CAMERA.pan;
angle.tilt = CAMERA.tilt;
angle.roll = CAMERA.roll;
my.pan = angle.pan;
my.tilt = angle.tilt;
my.roll = angle.roll;
WHILE(1)
{
if(MY.SKILL5 == 0) { my.SKILL5 = 50; }
dist.x = TIME * spell_speed;
dist.y = 0;
dist.z = 0;
position.x = my.x;
position.y = my.y;
position.z = my.z;
spell_speed = MY.SKILL5;
//if(MY.SKILL5 == 0){MY.SKILL5 = 50;}
c_move(me,nullvector,dist,ignore_passable | glide | use_box);
c_trace(position,null,ignore_me + activate_shoot + ignore_passable);
if(EVENT_TYPE == EVENT_SONAR) { ent_remove (me); spell_panel.VISIBLE = OFF;return; }
WAIT(1); // change if it is too fast
}
}
function fire()
{
if(mana != 0){
ent_create ("arrow.mdl",player.x,init_spell);
}
else
{return;}
}

The only problem is that for some reason it doesnt work.
When i was able to cast a arrow, the player just dissapeared and the camera turned very slow only moving arround the arrow...

Hmm i've got to say... Why the hell no one cares about spell systems?

Here's one free of charge...

All due credit to me and to aum, but i dont want, i dont know about aum...

function energy_ball()
{
wait (1);
my.enable_entity = on;
my.enable_block = on;
my.event = remove_eball;
my.pan = you.pan;
my.tilt = you.tilt;
my.lightred = 250;
my.lightgreen = 150;
my.lightrange = 200;
eball_speed.x = 20;
eball_speed.y = 0;
eball_speed.z = 0;
eball_speed *= time;
while (my != null)
{
my.roll += 20 * time;
move_mode = ignore_you + ignore_passents;
ent_move (eball_speed, nullvector);
wait (1);
}
}

function remove_eball()
{
wait (1);
if (you == player)
{
player.hp -= 60; // decrease player's health
}
ent_remove (me);
}

ACTION player_action
{
my.passable = 0;
player = my;
my.entity_type = 0;
my.gravity = 6;
my.z_offset = 6;
wait(1);
WHILE (1)
{ //the main loop
if (key_t == 1)
{
ent_animate(my,"attack_a",my.animate,0);
my.skill10 += 3 * time; //3


eball_pos.x = my.x;
eball_pos.y = my.y;
eball_pos.z = my.z + 25; // the energy ball appears betwen wizard's hands
ent_create (energyball_mdl, eball_pos, energy_ball);
snd_play (energy_snd, 70, 0);
wait (16);
}
gravity();
movement();
camera();
animation();
wait(1);
}
}

Hope this will be helpfull to the community

How do i tell this script that when it hits something, it just get removed.
I tryed event impact, event sonar, event whatever, but the f***ing ball just dont dissapear...

in "remove_eball" you have to set it like this:

if (event_type == event_entity || event_type == event_block)
{
ent_remove(me);
}

also if you want it to find the player, do not use if (you == player), give the player a skill like:

action player_action
{
my.skill99 = 1979;
//code....
}

and then for the check use

if (you.skill99 == 1979) rather than if (you == player)

because i can't promise that you will ever be equal to the player value, even if the you pointer is on the player...

ent_remove(me); is giving me a crash

function remove_eball()
{
if (event_type == event_entity || event_type == event_block)
{
ent_remove(me);
}

}

eball_speed.x = 20;
eball_speed.y = 0;
eball_speed.z = 0;
eball_speed *= time;
while (1)
{
my.roll += 20 * time;
c_move(me,eball_speed,nullvector,ignore_you + ignore_passable | glide | use_box);

ent_remove(me) is risky when you call it early in a function. In your code, you remove the entity, but the rest of the code in the function is still being read. All your my.whatever = x calls after ent_remove are coming up ambiguous because, since you deleted the entity, the engine doesn't know what "my" is.

How do i tell the ball that when there's a impact it's supossed to dissapear?
