I did some updates to my spell editor recently:



Added icons to the spell list, started working on spell string parsing. I'm working through Vel's tag documentation:

Quote

MAIN THINGS
Each spell can have up to 3 effects. Each linked tag can also have a number of the effect, like $TAG1 $TAG2 $TAG3

for example our spell has a two damage types, the first deals a

(effect1)1-100 damage(Randomly)
(effect2)50 damage. Additionally
(effect3)decrease enemy speed by 30%

Spell deals a $s1 damage, and $s2 damage. Additionally decrease target's speed by $s3%.
ingame: spell deals a 1-100 damage, and 50 damage. Additionally decrease target's spee by 30%.

if you use tag without the number - it calculate all the damage(1+2+3 if it possible) from the spell. Or something else(dependent of the tag)

-------------------------------------------------------
$N - current stacks of spell, for example in tooltip:
          Your blazing shield now have $n charges
-------------------------------------------------------
$d - spell duration:
          Your diseace will torment the victim within $d.
-------------------------------------------------------
$t - pereodic trigger, for example:
          Your fire shield deals 100 damage every $t seconds.
-----------------------------------------------------
$o - summary damage dome from DOTHOT
          Your immolation made a $o damage during 10 seconds.
          (for example your spell made a 10 damage each 2 seconds, spelldur 10seconds = $o automatically calculate damage as 50, $o in this case = 50)
-----------------------------------------------------
$x - count of targets for this spell
          your chain lightning hits $x targets
-----------------------------------------------------
$v - maximal allowed level of target
           "Target of the spell can only be a target not higher than level $v
-----------------------------------------------------
$z - destination of heartstone(your tavern name)
-----------------------------------------------------
$s - simple base point of spell(damage or healing, support scatter like in fireball damage 8-12 damage etc)
           your fireball deals a $s fire damage.
           $s - is minimal damage
           $S - is MAXIMAL DAMAGE
           like deals $s - $S damage. INGAME: deals 7 - 14 damage.
-----------------------------------------------------
$m - modified (can by talents or glyph, used only for player-based spells) point of spell
            you can ressurect the target with the $m health and mana

------------------------------------------------------
$a - radius for AOE spell
           your circle of fire deals a XXX damage of $a yards around you.
------------------------------------------------------
$b - additional multipler of the spell(HARD TO USE)
           for example 66(main damage) + combo point * $b
           (used only by rogues and druids in cat form)
           deals a $(66*1+$b) damage for 1 combo, and $(66*2+$b) damage for 2 combo
------------------------------------------------------
$h - chance to proc (percentage only)
           your mind blast can proc by $h% chance, when you use a this spell.
------------------------------------------------------

           Usefull mostly for ruRU(and maybe other) locales with different class names by gender.
           example: $g(Priest:Priestess) deals a 150% holy damage.
           the same as quests like senjorlady
------------------------------------------------------
$l - Specific locale description(mostly with the ruRU locale)
          typocal form: $l: екс: екса: ексов)(if try to translate it $l:One_Cake:two_Cakes:lot_cakes(higher than 2)
          (nevermind, a feature of the Russian language)
------------------------------------------------------

          used in auras with base value + misc value(for example ressurection useas BV as restored hp, and miscA as restored mana.

------------------------------------------------------

$u - max stack value
------------------------------------------------------
$i - max affected target of spells(for example mass fear)
------------------------------------------------------
$f - dummy(script) value (used in death strike of DK)
------------------------------------------------------
$LINK to spell param, set your spell entry from the different spell(if they triggered by current)
for example main spell with entry 100(fireball) and deals a 7 damage , triggered spell with entry 666(burn) deals a 14 damage during the 5 seconds.
EXAMPLE: Deals a $s1 damage, and additional $666o1 fire damage by $d.

three parts
1) $
2) spell entry(usually different(triggered))
3) linked param(see above)
------------------------------------------------------
${FORMULA} - in brackets you can combine different values to made a one.

1. { } external brackets
2. ( ) internal brackets - Within each of these brackets, a separate formula, like ${(formula1)*(formula2)} or more
3. *$ multi-modifier, always in the end of formula(it calculates: *per level of caster, *base spell modifier. and other things from spell.dbc is not included into main formula)

EXAMPLE: Ice nova uses ${$m1*$} - ${$M1*$} of frost damage at discription.
original formula: 52-59+caster level*0.50(spell modifier)

for example player level is 50.

result: ice nova uses 52+50*0.50 = 51 minimal damage, 59 + 50*0.50=54.5 damage
frost bols deals a 51 - 54 frost damage.
**************************
second example:
Revenge(warrior tank spell): Deals from ${$m1+$AP*0.310} to ${$M1+$AP*0.310} weapon damage
**************************
third example:
backstab(rogue spell): deals $m2% weapon damage, and additional  ${$m1*1.5} damage.

effect1: weapon 60% of normalized weapon damage
effect2: weapon 150% percent damage(include buff effects)
effect3: add compo point +1

we know that this spell deals a 60% of weapon damage +150%, this can be present as 1.5, we get ${$m1*1.5} (60%*150%). = 210% of weapon damage(approx)

(-guid, 0, 0, 0, Eventid, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 69, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0, 0, 0, Xcoord, Ycoord, Zcoord, 0, 'comment');

And in your situation you should use

(-guid, 0, 0, 0, 68, 0, 0, 0, Eventid(from_database), 0, 0, 0, 69, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0, 0, 0, Xcoord, Ycoord, Zcoord, 0, 'comment');

You must write your creature's guid, EventID and coords. This should work.
