Help on this sio/mas res script

[Slayer2k91]

hehe you're welcome
But on things like this I would use in ipairs then you can't make small annoying mistakes like that ^^ Just tips !
But looks better then my scripts a few months back haha

thanks for the tips dude, I'm still trying to wrap my head around ipars, but i'll try to use them anyway.

Offtopic: do you think anyone would be interested in a directional spell script i made? the code is even worse than this one, but it works pretty well. (I also got lazy and didn't implement aoe runes or single target spells, but that should be easy enough), or do you guys mind taking a look at it?



EDIT: Here it is anyway.

--Pacman's shitty area spell caster thingamajig
spell = {}
area = {}



--CONFIG
spell[1] = {words = "exevo frigo hur",
			manacost = 25,
			area = {{0,0,0,1},
					{0,1,1,1},
					{1,1,1,1},
					{0,1,1,1},
					{0,0,0,1}},
			creaturecount = 2}
			
spell[2] = {words = "exevo gran frigo hur",
			manacost = 170,
			area = {{0,1,1},
					{1,1,1},
					{0,1,1}},
			creaturecount = 1}
