Scripting Help/Question

[SaintAnon]

I love the "Breath of Fire" spell from Midas Magic Spells of Aurum but its WAY to underpowered... So I decided to try and beef it up a bit but I'm not sure exactly how I would go about doing this...

 

Here is the script from in the spell it has another effect that"s labeled as a Script Effect but its blank except for having "Fire Damage 9pts for 4sec" written in the effects title.

 

All I want to do is increase the Fire Damage... Help please? :confused:

The reason being, like I expected his spells to be, it doesn't damage him directly due to this spell.

what happens is it's reading variables to determine WHICH spell to use. This spell casts on him, and what you see is flashy stuff, and the affect is another spell being cast again on the target. Basically, look for things like MidasMagmaStreamTouchSpell, and ETC. These are the real spells that do the actual damage.

 

If this has helped solve your problem feel free to Kudos to show appreciation, otherwise, if you either feel it not deserving of a kudos or hate me because I never said the word monkey to you, then you can either rest assured as I just said Monkey twice now, or either way still feel free to....

 

Be well, sleep well, fight well, live long.

Look, to the right is another monkey.
