You must have missed an opening '/' on a line that reads

"This manages attack speed (Adjusted by strenght and dexterity)"

If you typed my mod in with the correct number of spaces (which is very important), anyone on a different team from you will be killed. You control the teams in the *.mod/basicdat/spawn.txt file.

Unless you have set the team of the scythe in the script to be the same as the person holding it, it will be on whatever team you made it spawn under...

Also, I made a minor error in the script since SetTargetToNearestLifeform only finds living creatures!

Now there is no script error but enemies won't die if I just attack with it... They should just die, even if it won't hit... Now I have to slash them, and that weapon is not supposed to be like that...

1) The above code fragment assumes that the SetTargetToNearestBlahID works "as advertised", which it might not be working at all, so the scythe will resurrect everyone??? Assume that this function will be fixed in the future, though!

2) There is some very important information we may need to know before anyone can help you further:

What team are you spawning the scythe as? What team are you? What team is this supposed enemy? What does the alliance.txt file say?

Please don't expect me to go look. It is important for you to learn how this all works... "teach a man to fish" and all of that.

3) Regardless of all of this info, you may HAVE to set the team of the scythe to match the team of the person holding it for this to work the way you want it to.

IT WORKS NOW!!! I just have to slash and slash like with normal scythe, but it now makes dead friends respawn! And THAT'S the best thing! Thank you, Bgbirdsey! Thank you so much! Yippeeee! Whee

You should put something in there about the object requiring all of its own mana to work (just set the mana and manaregen lines in data.txt), so that the rep rate is not way too high.

Also, you could so something with a random number so that it only has a small chance of resurrecting or killing per use? This the chance could increase with the LEVEL OF THE SCYTHE! Twisted Evil

NOW IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!

I edited the script a little and... Here it is:

//This manages attack speed (Adjusted by strenght and dexterity)
IfUsed
SetTargetToWhoeverIsHolding
tmpargument = targetdex > 9 //Every 2 points of dex increases speed by 1
tmpargument = 60 - tmpargument
SetReloadTime

// ZZ> This function makes an item fall to the floor when spawned
IfSpawned //
tmpargument = ACTIONJB //
DoAction //
KeepAction //
MakeCrushValid
IfCrushed
tmpx = selfx
tmpy = selfy
tmpdistance = selfz
tmpargument = 1
SpawnExactParticle
SpawnExactParticle
SpawnExactParticle
SpawnExactParticle
GoPoof
tmpargument = 1
SendMessageNear
IfDropped // Make it lie on floor
KeepAction //
IfHitGround // Make a sound
tmpargument = 1 //
tmpdistance = rand & 2047 + 10000 //
PlaySound //
IfTakenOut // Make a sound
tmpargument = 2 //
tmpdistance = rand & 2047 + 10000 //
PlaySound //
SetTargetToWhoeverIsHolding //
IfTargetIsAPlayer //
tmpargument = 2 //
SendMessageNear //
IfGrabbed // Tell them what they've won...
SetTargetToWhoeverIsHolding //
IfTargetIsAPlayer //
tmpargument = 0 //
SendMessageNear //

IfUsed
tmpargument = [NONE]
tmpdistance = BLAHDEAD + BLAHFRIENDS + BLAHENEMIES
SetTargetToNearestBlahID
IfTargetIsOnHatedTeam
KillTarget
Else
SetTargetToNearestFriend
IfTargetIsOnSameTeam
IfTargetIsAlive
HealTarget
Else
IfTargetIsOnSameTeam
RespawnTarget
HealTarget
IfUsed
SetTargetToSelf
SendMessageNear // Make a sound
tmpargument = 3 //
End // All done

I would use SetTargetToNearestEnemy

and IfTargetIsAlive + Else

I find it more optimized and cleaner.
