[client support] skill effect

[Kurofly]

Hello there.

 

I added some custom skills to my server but they don't have any effect assigned so all of them display the 'bash' effect on the ennemy.

 

Does anyone know how to tell the client which effect I want to be assigned to my skill?

 

Note: this may be a source question since some skills have delayed animations but I'm not sure about it, move this post to the right section if needed.

im actually trying to figure this out myself as well, I have tried playing with the \luafiles514\lua files\skilleffectinfo folder, but to no avail

 

Edit: i saw in a post (forget what post) something about clif-> SpecialEffect () but i havent given that a shot, id rather not have to source the skill effects if i can avoid it.

Thank you for your answer.

 

Sorry I totally forgot to edit this topic since I solved it ><

Mary Magdalene helped me to solve it and it's indeed source-sided.

 

I'll edit this topic tomorrow showing the solution.

 

Note: There's probably a way to do it client side since there's no clif>specialeffect for most of the skills in skill.c but I'm fine with the source way. Maybe we should keep this post open since it's in the client section.

Ya leave it open but also post the source side work around I'd say.

Here is what you need to do in order to give effects to your skills (source solution):

To add a custom skill follow this guide

 

Open your src/map/skill.c and look for your custom skill

For example:

case P_LANCE_FLAMME:
		skill_attack(BF_MAGIC,src,src,bl,skill_id,skill_lv,tick,flag);
		break;

Then just turn it to this:

case P_LANCE_FLAMME:
		clif_specialeffect(bl,173,AREA);
		skill_attack(BF_MAGIC,src,src,bl,skill_id,skill_lv,tick,flag);
		break;

clif_specialeffect(bl/src,<effect number>,AREA)

 

bl means the effect will be centered on the ennemy.

src means the effect will be centered on the caster.

 

You can find all the effects and their corresponding ids in doc/effect_list
