Hello
i made a custom poison cloud spell. but it does not give party xp if the monster is killed by it.
I know this has been solved in the past, but i cant find anything about it.
Can someone help me what i have to do to give the party xp?
Thanks!

I assume you are using the "damageTile" function to dish out the damage from the poison cloud?
If so, then I think you just need to make sure you pass in suitable "DamageFlags" for parameter 6 which are basically a bunch of switches that give you some extra options. When you cast the spell, you will need to figure out the champion that cast it (there might be a handy function to do this for you?) and then set the appropriate flag(s).

this is what I use to get xp, Minmay posted it on the forum:
you have to put the
Code: Select all
-- Award experience.
self:setDamageFlags(DamageFlags.Champion1)
end
in the tileDamager class.
like this custom spell:
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "magma_meteor_blast2bow",
baseObject = "base_spell",
components = {
{
class = "Particle",
particleSystem = "magma_blast",
destroyObject = true,
},
{
class = "Light",
color = vec(0.25, 0.5, 1),
brightness = 40,
range = 10,
fadeOut = 0.5,
disableSelf = true,
fillLight = true,
},
{
class = "TileDamager",
name = "damager1",
attackPower = 300,
damageType = "physical",
sound = "fireball_hit",
onInit = function(self)
-- Award experience.
self:setDamageFlags(DamageFlags.Champion1)
end
},
},
}

you don't need to set it in the onInit hook, you can just add damageFlags = DamageFlags.Champion1 to the component definition

Sorry for necro-ing this thread
But testing my mod after a long time i saw that the
damageFlags = DamageFlags.Champion1
works on the tile damager class but not on the "CloudSpell" class.
So the poison cloud spell still does not give xp. Is there a way to set up a poison cloud with the "TileDamager" class? So that i can use the damageflag?
Or is there another way to give the "CloudSpell" class a damage flag that works?
This is the script without a damage flag
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "giftwolkeklein",
baseObject = "base_spell",
components = {
{
class = "Particle",
particleSystem = "poison_cloud_small",
offset = vec(0, 1.5, 0),
},
{
class = "Light",
offset = vec(0, 1.5, 0),
color = vec(0.5, 0.5, 0.25),
brightness = 7,
range = 5,
fadeOut = 13,
disableSelf = true,
},
{
class = "CloudSpell",
attackPower = 5,
damageInterval = 1,
damageType = "poison",
duration = 6,
sound = "poison_cloud",
},
},
}
If i use
onInit = function(self)
self:setDamageFlags(DamageFlags.Champion1)
end
it gives an error when i cast the spell
If i use
damageFlags = DamageFlags.Champion1
It does nothing. But this works on other spells.
