Instant Cast

[simplemhan]

i want to know how to configure it, and what dex should i use to make it instant cast of skill.

thanks for helping me.

Go to your conf/battle and find skill.conf

Find this line

// At what dex does the cast time become zero (instacast)?
castrate_dex_scale: 150

Just change the value.

Of course it will be useless if you set your server to Renewal Mechanics since according from renewal all skills will have 20% fixed casting time remaining regardless of the stats,equips and etc.

Find your Renewal.h

Find this line

#define RECASTING 1

Set it to 0 to disable Renewal Casting.

Of course don't forget to recompile the source code.

thats why there still a delay in skill when casting it? thanks for the information

[KaitoKid]

Well for the after cast delay for the skills.

You can still find it inside your skill.conf

Find the lines

// Delay time after casting (Note 2)
delay_rate: 100

// Does the delay time depend on the caster's DEX and/or AGI? (Note 1)
// Note: On Official servers, neither Dex nor Agi affect delay time
delay_dependon_dex: no
delay_dependon_agi: no

// Minimum allowed delay for ANY skills after casting (in miliseconds) (Note 1)
// Note: Setting this to anything above 0 can stop speedhacks.
min_skill_delay_limit: 100

You can change the Global duration for after-cast delay to all skills.

But if you want to be specific you can find and adjust the after-cast delay for each skill at your skill_cast_db.txt

if i set this to 0

#define RECASTING 1

this line will be implemented?

// At what dex does the cast time become zero (instacast)?

castrate_dex_scale: 150

[KaitoKid]

Yes. just give it a try.

i dont have that line in my renewal.h

[malufett]

there are many ways to have an instant cast..

Option 1 set your server to pre-casting by commenting this line @ renewal.h

/// renewal cast time
/// (disable by commenting the line)
///
/// leave this line to enable renewal casting time algorithms
/// cast time is decreased by DEX * 2 + INT while 20% of the cast time is not reduced by stats.
/// example:
///  on a skill whos cast time is 10s, only 8s may be reduced. the other 2s are part of a
///  "fixed cast time" which can only be reduced by specialist items and skills
#define RENEWAL_CAST

then set your desire value for this config

// At what dex does the cast time become zero (instacast)?
castrate_dex_scale: 150

Option 2 if you want to use renewal casting but there is a chance to have an instant cast

then edit this in your config to your desire value

// How much (dex*2+int) does variable cast turns zero?

vcast_stat_scale: 530

and edit your skill_cast_db by setting -1 to all skills you want to have an instant cast when it reaches the value you set..

// Structure of Database:

// SkillID,CastingTime,AfterCastActDelay,AfterCastWalkDelay,Duration1,Duration2,Cool Down,Fixed Casting Time

example:

//-- MG_STONECURSE 16,1000,0,0,5000,20000,0,-1
