Lua - Colored Circle Fun!

[Coldblooded]

A fun Sunday morning project

This is set up for a mage to summon and drop items on the ground in a circle using some basic math and mq2nav.

Certain mage items glow/flash different colors, so for sure have fun finding new ones. If you do, please let us know! Who knows, maybe this could be a fun time waster.
I found that Heatstones glow red, Coldstones glow blue, and Orb of Exploration are yellow color.

How to use
Put this script in your Lua folder, break out that old mage and make sure you mem the spells. If you don't have the spells memed, the script will complain about it and quit.
By default, it will make a 10-unit radius circle with 10 items with a blue-colored item.

You can pass in arguments to control the outcome.
Argument 1 is the number of items to distribute along the circle.
Argument 2 is the size of the circle in EQ units.
[BGCOLOR=initial]Argument 3 is the color of the items.[/BGCOLOR]

/lua run circles 20 20 red

Have FUN!
