Spell Delay [CERTAIN SPELLS]

How do I add a certain amount of delay to a certain spell?

 

[Nykovious]

Override the GetCastDelay() method for that spell.

 

[Marcus247]

Iv'e tried this...

[code:1]using System;
using Server.Targeting;
using Server.Network;

namespace Server.Spells.First
{
public class MagicArrowSpell : Spell
{
private static TimeSpan NextSpellDelay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 0.4 );

private static SpellInfo m_Info = new SpellInfo(
"Magic Arrow", "In Por Ylem",
SpellCircle.First,
212,
9041,
Reagent.SulfurousAsh
);

public MagicArrowSpell( Mobile caster, Item scroll ) : base( caster, scroll, m_Info )
{
}

public override void OnCast()
{
Caster.Target = new InternalTarget( this );
}

public override bool DelayedDamage{ get{ return true; } }

public void Target( Mobile m )
{
if ( !Caster.CanSee( m ) )
{
Caster.SendLocalizedMessage( 500237 ); // Target can not be seen.
}
else if ( CheckHSequence( m ) )
{
Mobile source = Caster;

SpellHelper.Turn( source, m );

SpellHelper.CheckReflect( (int)this.Circle, ref source, ref m );

double damage;

if ( Core.AOS )
{
damage = GetAosDamage( 3, 1, 10.0 );
}
else
{
damage = Utility.Random( 3, 5 );

if ( CheckResisted( m ) )
{
damage *= 0.75;

m.SendLocalizedMessage( 501783 ); // You feel yourself resisting magical energy.
}

damage *= GetDamageScalar( m );
}

source.MovingParticles( m, 0x36E4, 5, 0, false, true, 3006, 4006, 0 );
source.PlaySound( 0x1E5 );

SpellHelper.Damage( TimeSpan.Zero, m, Caster, damage, 0, 100, 0, 0, 0 );
}

FinishSequence();
}

private class InternalTarget : Target
{
private MagicArrowSpell m_Owner;

public InternalTarget( MagicArrowSpell owner ) : base( 12, false, TargetFlags.Harmful )
{
m_Owner = owner;
}

protected override void OnTarget( Mobile from, object o )
{
if ( o is Mobile )
{
m_Owner.Target( (Mobile)o );
}
}

protected override void OnTargetFinish( Mobile from )
{
m_Owner.FinishSequence();
}
}
}
}[/code:1]

The script goes thru. but it does not work...

 

[Marcus247]

Override the GetCastDelay() method for that spell.

How would I put it? Could you show me?

 

[Rokam]

use a internaltimer.
[code:1]
private class InternalTimer : Timer
{
private Spell m_Spell;
private Mobile m_Target;
private Mobile m_Attacker, m_Defender;

public InternalTimer( Spell spell, Mobile attacker, Mobile defender, Mobile target ) : base( TimeSpan.FromSeconds( Core.AOS ? 3.0 : 2.5 ) )
{
m_Spell = spell;
m_Attacker = attacker;
m_Defender = defender;
m_Target = target;

Priority = TimerPriority.FiftyMS;
}

protected override void OnTick()
{
if ( m_Attacker.HarmfulCheck( m_Defender ) )
{
double damage;

if ( Core.AOS )
{
damage = m_Spell.GetAosDamage( 11, 3, 2.75 );
}
else
{
damage = Utility.Random( 23, 22 );

if ( m_Spell.CheckResisted( m_Target ) )
{
damage *= 0.75;

m_Target.SendLocalizedMessage( 501783 ); // You feel yourself resisting magical energy.
}

damage *= m_Spell.GetDamageScalar( m_Target );
}

m_Target.FixedParticles( 0x36BD, 20, 10, 5044, EffectLayer.Head );
m_Target.PlaySound( 0x307 );

SpellHelper.Damage( m_Spell, m_Target, damage, 0, 100, 0, 0, 0 );
}
}
}
[/code:1]

This one is for explosion... see explosion spell.

Since the base GetCastDelay() method in the Spells.cs script is virtual,:[code:1]public virtual TimeSpan GetCastDelay()
{
if ( m_Scroll is BaseWand )
return TimeSpan.Zero;

if ( !Core.AOS )
return TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 0.5 + (0.25 * (int)Circle) );

int fc = AosAttributes.GetValue( m_Caster, AosAttribute.CastSpeed );

if ( ProtectionSpell.Registry.Contains( m_Caster ) )
fc -= 2;

int circleDelay = CastDelayCircleScalar * (1 + (int)Circle); // Note: Circle is 0-based so we must offset
int fcDelay = -(CastDelayFastScalar * fc);

int delay = CastDelayBase + circleDelay + fcDelay;

if ( delay < CastDelayMinimum )
delay = CastDelayMinimum;

return TimeSpan.FromSeconds( (double)delay / CastDelayPerSecond );
}[/code:1] you can override it, to create your own version of the method, like this:[code:1]public override TimeSpan GetCastDelay()
{
return TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 3.0 );
}[/code:1]which would cause the spell cast time to be 3 seconds. So, you can add the last piece of code, to a spell script, to make it's cast delay 3 seconds or what ever you change it to.

 

[Marcus247]

So, if I just add this to the script it would add that spell delay?

[code:1]public override TimeSpan GetCastDelay()
{
return TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 3.0 );
}[/code:1]

Or do I have to add the the rest of the codes u posted?

 

[Nykovious]

No, you just add:[code:1]public override TimeSpan GetCastDelay()
{
return TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 3.0 );
}[/code:1]to the spell script that you want to change the delay time on.
So, if you want the Fireball spell to take 3 second to cast. Change your FireBall.cs file, or whatever spell you wish to change, like this:[code:1]using System;
using Server.Targeting;
using Server.Network;

namespace Server.Spells.Third
{
public class FireballSpell : Spell
{
private static SpellInfo m_Info = new SpellInfo(
"Fireball", "Vas Flam",
SpellCircle.Third,
203,
9041,
Reagent.BlackPearl
);

public FireballSpell( Mobile caster, Item scroll ) : base( caster, scroll, m_Info )
{
}

//
///// Begin: Added for spell delay /////////////////////
//
public override TimeSpan GetCastDelay()
{
return TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 3.0 );
}
//
///// End: Added for spell delay ///////////////////////
//

public override void OnCast()
{
Caster.Target = new InternalTarget( this );
}

public override bool DelayedDamage{ get{ return true; } }

public void Target( Mobile m )
{
if ( !Caster.CanSee( m ) )
{
Caster.SendLocalizedMessage( 500237 ); // Target can not be seen.
}
else if ( CheckHSequence( m ) )
{
Mobile source = Caster;

SpellHelper.Turn( source, m );

SpellHelper.CheckReflect( (int)this.Circle, ref source, ref m );

double damage;

if ( Core.AOS )
{
damage = GetAosDamage( 6, 3, 5.5 );
}
else
{
damage = Utility.Random( 10, 7 );

if ( CheckResisted( m ) )
{
damage *= 0.75;

m.SendLocalizedMessage( 501783 ); // You feel yourself resisting magical energy.
}

damage *= GetDamageScalar( m );
}

//Effects.SendMovingEffect( source, m, 0x36E4, 7, 0, false, true, 1151, 0);
source.MovingParticles( m, 0x36D4, 7, 0, false, true, 9502, 4019, 0x160 );
source.PlaySound( Core.AOS ? 0x15E : 0x44B );

SpellHelper.Damage( this, m, damage, 0, 100, 0, 0, 0 );
}

FinishSequence();
}

private class InternalTarget : Target
{
private FireballSpell m_Owner;

public InternalTarget( FireballSpell owner ) : base( 12, false, TargetFlags.Harmful )
{
m_Owner = owner;
}

protected override void OnTarget( Mobile from, object o )
{
if ( o is Mobile )
m_Owner.Target( (Mobile)o );
}

protected override void OnTargetFinish( Mobile from )
{
m_Owner.FinishSequence();
}
}
}
}[/code:1]

The first piece of code, in my last post, is the base GetCastDelay() from the Spell.cs file. I was just showing that that method is virtual, so it can be overridden within a derived class, and you can create your own version of that method. For that matter, a method that use the modifier override or abstract can be overridden as well, as long as it has the same access level modifier.

 

[Marcus247]

Oh alrighty, I totally understand. Thank you very much everyone who helped me.

 

[Crack177]

Just a lil question. What if you wanted to do it to all spells. I know there is a basespell. I can't find it. Is it Spell.cs?
