[Scripting Idea] How to make a great boss event in LUA!

[Arthas117]

This is just an idea for you that know lua scripting, but not how to create a "great" boss event :P If you don't understand, you dont know how to do lua scripting.

OBS: I wont tell you ids and such, you can get it yourself from Illidan1's lua scripting guide at http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulat...-updating.html


Take a look at this...

function Arthas_Shadow_Bolt(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print "Arthas Shadow Bolt"
Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(29924,Unit:GetClosestPlayer())
Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Shadow Bolt on you...")
end
function Arthas_Reflection(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print "Arthas Reflection"
Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(40832,Unit:GetRandomPlayer())
Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Flames...Great flames of Death...")
end
function Arthas_Arthas(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print "Arthas Arthas"
Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(41078,Unit:GetRandomPlayer())
Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "I call upon the SHADOW POWER!")
end
function Arthas_Cleave(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print "Arthas Cleave"
Unit:FullCastSpell(31779)
Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Cleave...")
end
function Arthas_Thunderclap(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print "Arthas Thunderclap"
Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(40647,Unit:GetClosestPlayer())
Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Shadow Prison for you! You got no way to escape!") [quote]

This, is a example of a phase... To make it useable with time, do input something like this...

function Kazzak(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print "Kazzak"
unit:RegisterEvent("Kazzak_Enrage",1000,1)
unit:RegisterEvent("Kazzak_Shadow_Bolt",10000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Kazzak_Reflection",17000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Kazzak_Kazzak",23000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Kazzak_Cleave",27000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Kazzak_Thunderclap",33000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Kazzak_Void_Bolt",37000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Kazzak_Soul",600000,1)

Now I'll make a lil guide on how to make a phase...

First of all, you got to decide when it will be done... Choose one of those Id's


You start it like this...

function <mobname>_<function> (Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print <mobname> <function>
pUnit:<choose something of the next list...>
end

now make another one...and other one...

The pUnit things... I gonna link some myself

:SendChatMessage (type, lang, "message")
:FullCastSpell(spellID)
:Scale(Scale)
:EmoteState(EmoteStateID)
isplayID(DisplayID)

ok, when you're done with the functions...You'll make the phase thing...


function <mobname_phase_<id>(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print "mobname_phase_id>"
unit:RegisterEvent("MobName_Function",Time(Miliseconds),1)
end
RegisterUnitEvent(mob_id,event_id,"Mobname_Phase_Id")

How to: Make your mob do more than one thing while dying/etc

Lets take a look at something and you'll find out yourself...

function Arthas_Death_1(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print (Arthas Death 1)
pUnit:EmoteState(1)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Ner'zhul, mylord... I have failed you... They make me a paladin once again...")
end

function Arthas_Death_2(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print (Arthas Death 2)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "You...mortals... You are not prepared to face the wrath... of Allidari...!")
end

function Arthas_Death_3(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print ("Arthas Death 3)
pUnit:EmoteState(0)
end

function Arthas_Death(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print ("Arthas Death")
Unit:RegisterEvent("Arthas_Death_1", 1, 1)
Unit:RegisterEvent("Arthas_Death_2", 100, 1)
Unit:RegisterEvent("Arthas_Death_3", 150, 1)
end
Unit:RegisterEvent(232323, 4, "Arthas_Death")

(I made this now for you)

Well, I know that its not a good guide, but also its not a guide... If you think it sucks, you really dont know the point of it :P

The "print ()" function does not need to be included at all : /
It just prints words to logon.exe for devs to see.

Time to disect your fight...

function Arthas_Death_1(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print (Arthas Death 1)
pUnit:EmoteState(1)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Ner'zhul, mylord... I have failed you... They make me a paladin once again...")
end

function Arthas_Death_2(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print (Arthas Death 2)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "You...mortals... You are not prepared to face the wrath... of Allidari...!")
end

function Arthas_Death_3(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print ("Arthas Death 3)
pUnit:EmoteState(0)
end

function Arthas_Death(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print ("Arthas Death")
Unit:RegisterEvent("Arthas_Death_1", 1, 1)
Unit:RegisterEvent("Arthas_Death_2", 100, 1)
Unit:RegisterEvent("Arthas_Death_3", 150, 1)
end
Unit:RegisterEvent(232323, 4, "Arthas_Death")

1) Nothing will work in the first three functions, as you've declared the npc as a "unit" and you are trying to run functions as "pUnit:..."
2) You've forgot the quotes in your "print" functions.
3) In your Arthas_Death function, Each sequence will rapidly repeat itself until the npc is gone. Since you have no restrictions, Arthas_death_1 will repeat itself every .001 second. The Arthas_death_2 will repeat itself every .1 second. And the Arthas_Death_3 function will repeat itself every .15 seconds.
In the end, your chatlog will fill up in less than a second with:

Ner'zhul, mylord... I have failed you... They make me a paladin once again...")
Ner'zhul, mylord... I have failed you... They make me a paladin once again...")
Ner'zhul, mylord... I have failed you... They make me a paladin once again...")
Ner'zhul, mylord... I have failed you... They make me a paladin once again...")
You...mortals... You are not prepared to face the wrath... of Allidari...!")
Ner'zhul, mylord... I have failed you... They make me a paladin once again...")
You...mortals... You are not prepared to face the wrath... of Allidari...!")
Ner'zhul, mylord... I have failed you... They make me a paladin once again...")
You...mortals... You are not prepared to face the wrath... of Allidari...!")
