Item OnHit:Cast Spells explanations

Hi,

// the arrows this script is attached to will kill Monster X instantly.
// otherwise they are more or less useless.

#include "x2_inc_switches"

void main()
{
    int nEvent = GetUserDefinedItemEventNumber();

    if (nEvent ==  X2_ITEM_EVENT_ONHITCAST)
    {
        object oTarget = GetItemActivatedTarget();
        if (GetTag(oTarget)=="TagOfMonsterX")
            ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,EffectDeath(0,TRUE),oTarget);
    }
}

assuming I got the tag based scripting part right, why isn't this working ?

SHould be:

Code: Select all

object oTarget = GetSpellTargetObject();

Is that a recipe for turkey stuffing?

no it's the essence of a new type of critters and weapons against them on Catara.

Where you've got to do some research before you can actually hurt some big nasty things.
