How to make a Lua Teleporter by djfrederick

First of all, i haven't seen this guide by searching or looking backwards in posts.

Lua scripting is pretty easy. Lua is a functional programming language used to do alot of things. I want you to take a look at this list if you look down. This is the hold ''Lua scripting list'' with all the differend commands. It could be a good idea to save the list, to next time you wanner make a lua script:

.:OTHERS:.

:SendChatMessage(type,language,message) -- Type is the chat type e.g. Say,Yell,RaidWarning, chat.h has a list of them; language is pretty obvious.

        function SayThis(Unit,event)
            local plr = Unit:GetMainTank()
            if plr ~= nil then
                Unit:SendChatMessage(14(yell),0(Universal lang),plr:GetName()..", you cannot resist me!")
            end
        end
:MoveTo(x,y,z,o) -- pretty self explainatory. Use .gps while ingame to retrieve coords, O is just orientation.
    Usage:
        function MoveTo(Unit,event)
            Unit:MoveTo(Unit:GetSpawnX(),Unit:GetSpawnY(),Unit:GetSpawnZ(),Unit:GetSpawnO()) --  makes the unit move to its spawn points.
        end
:CastSpell(spellid) -- Just fill in the spell id which you want to the current unit to cast. This will cast the spell on caller of this function and ignore cast time.
    Usage:
        function CastSpell(Unit,event)
            Unit:CastSpell(5) -- death touch xd
        end
:CastSpellOnTarget(spellid,target) -- first blank is spellid just like above, 2nd is target, there is a bug w/ this function that it causes it not to cast on the target.
    Use FullCastSpellOnTarget(spellid,target) if you want to cast on a target.
:FullCastSpell(spellid) -- This does the same as castspell except with casttime.
:FullCastSpellOnTarget -- Fully casts the spell with cast time but on a target(if target is the unit, just use castspell or fullcastspell)
:SpawnGameObject(entry_id,x,y,z,duration)-- spawns a gameobject from the entry id given at the location vector given
    Usage:
        Unit:SpawnGameObject(166434(random no.),Unit:GetX(),Unit:GetY(),Unit:GetZ(),0(0 duration to make the go not despawn. Add duration in milisecs to make it despawn after x seconds))
:SpawnCreature(entryid,x,y,z,faction,duration) -- Unlike spawngameobject, creatures use factions. This decides whether they are friendly/hated towards the player and other stuff like if you kill it what rep u get.
    Usage:
        Unit:SpawnCreature(randomnumberhere,Unit:GetX(),Unit:GetY(),Unit:GetZ(),14,5000(despawn after 5 secs))
:RegisterEvent(string,delay,repeats) -- registers a function to call on the unit, note that only creatures can use this, not gameobjects.
    Usage:
        Unit:RegisterEvent("KillYou",5000, 1)
        whereas
        function KillYou(Unit,event)
            Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(5,Unit:GetRandomPlayer(0))
        end
:RemoveEvents() -- this has no arguments and removes all registered functions.
    Usage:
        function OnCreatureDied(Unit,event)
            Unit:RemoveEvents()-- when the creature is dead, remove all functions so it doesn't do anything.
        end
:SendBroadcastMessage(string) -- this is a player only command. The player who called it, displays a message that you typed in there
    Usage:
        function Error(Unit,event)
            local tank = Unit:GetMainTank()

    Usage:
        local plr = Unit:GetClosestPlayer()
        plr:LearnSpell(5) -- learn death touch xd
:UnlearnSpell(spellid) -- This just removes a spell already known from the player.
    Usage
        local plr = Unit:GetClosestPlayer()
        plr:UnlearnSpell(5) -- noooes gief death touch!!
:HasFinishedQuest(questid)-- this is a boolean like others to come. It checks whether the player has finished the quest provided w/ the id, if not, it pushes false.
    Usage:
        local plr = Unit:GetClosestPlayer()
        if plr:HasFinishedQuest(questid) == true then
            do this if the player has completed the quest
        end
:ClearThreatList() -- this maybe confused to wipethreatlist. What it does is set all threat levels to 1, This means the creature will still aggro, but aggro can be easily taken away.
:ChangeTarget(target) -- This causes the Unit to change the target, it is basically SetNextTarget(target).
:Emote(emoteid) -- Use this to get the unit to do a certain emote.

:CreateWaypoint(x,y,z,waittime,moveflags,displayid) -- x,y,z are the coords, waittime is the delay for it to not move,moveflags are either 0 for walk, 256 for run, or 768 for fly, displayid is how you want the waypoints to look like(Like mini models).
:DestroyCustomWaypointMap() -- use it to destroy all waypoints that the unit has. Only works for creatures.
:MoveToWaypoint(waypointid) -- When you create ur first waypoint, they are numberd in order start from 1. 0 and 1 do the same thing. Use it to make a unit move to various waypoints.
:TeleportUnit(mapid,x,y,z) -- This teleport's a PLAYER only unit to the location specified.
:ClearHateList() -- this is a duplicate of ClearThreatList(). They do the same thing.

(I didn't make this list, the credits goes to the maker)

Read trough the list please.

STEP 1: How to start

Make a new .txt dokument. Name is relevant. Chance the ''.txt'' to ''.lua'' and open it as Notepad.

Okay, we wanner make it a Teleporter NPC so start out with:

function On_Gossip(unit, event, player)
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)

You always put ''3544'' first and then the rest is ''3543''.

STEP 2: Adding some menus

You wanner make a menu for your players and yourself to teleport to. Lets say, that i wanner make a section with only ''Northrend Locations''. Then i'll make a new line and make it look like this:

function On_Gossip(unit, event, player)
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)

Keep the ''2'' there. Make a name for the section, ''1'' if its the first menu ''2'' if next, ''0'' Let it stay.

You do the same if you wanner make a new section with locations, it could look like this:

function On_Gossip(unit, event, player)
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)

And so on.

When you are done with the locations then: ALWAYS REMEMBER TO WRITE ''end'' when you are done with a menu, and because you want people to see the menu, write:

unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

In the end, it should look like this:

unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

STEP 3: The player

After you have made all the location you have to do so people can see the menu and talk to the NPC.

Jump 1 line down in the script and type:

function Gossip_Submenus(unit, event, player, id, intid, code)

Then 1 more line after that write:

if(intid == 999) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)

Now you got the ''SubMenu''. You only have to add the locations you have made in ''Step 2''. Like this:

if(intid == 999) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)

Again, ''2'' just have to be there, ''Name for the section'', ''1'' if its the first menu ''2'' if next, ''0'' just leave it that way.

After the first 3 steps it should look like this:

function On_Gossip(unit, event, player)
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

function Gossip_Submenus(unit, event, player, id, intid, code)

if(intid == 999) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

STEP 4: Menu and etc

If you for example click on the ''Northrend Locations'' now, there wont happen anything. So you have to make another ''Menu'' for the ''Menu''.

Lets say you wanner make some locations to cities, when you click on ''Northrend Locations''. You find the ''GossipMenuAddItem'' from step 2 and find this part:

unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)

The number you need now is the orange one.
You jump 1 line down and type in:

if(intid == 1) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)

Now you have made another ''Menu'' when you click on ''Northrend Locations''.

Then type this in again:

unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "NAME HERE", 300, 0)

Lets say that i wanner make a tab so my players can teleport to Dragonblight. Then i write:

unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Dragonblight", 300, 0)

''1'' is directly teleporting when click, Name of location, Where the spell teleports you to, ''0'' just leave it.

Normally after you have made alot of locations in the ''Northrend Locations'' tab, you want a [Back] bottom. For this you write:

unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)

''0'' does nothing, Name of the bottom, ''999'' is ''back'', ''0'' just leave it.

You do the same thing with the ''Azeroth Locations'' section.

After Step 4, it should look like this:

function On_Gossip(unit, event, player)
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

function Gossip_Submenus(unit, event, player, id, intid, code)

if(intid == 999) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 1) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Drangonblight", 300, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 2) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Stormwind", 301, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

STEP 5: .gps and coords.

This is the in-game part.

Go in-game and find the place you want in Dragonblight the Teleporter teleports you to. When you have found the spot, write the command ''.gps''. You only need the MapID, X, Y, Z cords.

Jump 1 line down again and type in:

if(intid == 300) then
player:Teleport(MapID, X, Y, Z)
unit:GossipComplete(player)
end

The ''300'' is the

unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Drangonblight, 300, 0)

other number in the GossipMenuAddItem for Dragonblight.

Do the same thing for the ''Stormwind'' location in the ''Azeroth Locations'' section.

When you are done with Step 5, it should look something like this:

function On_Gossip(unit, event, player)
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

function Gossip_Submenus(unit, event, player, id, intid, code)

if(intid == 999) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 1) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Drangonblight", 300, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 2) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Stormwind", 301, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 300) then
player:Teleport(MapID, X, Y, Z)
unit:GossipComplete(player)
end

if(intid == 301) then
player:Teleport(MapID, X, Y, Z)
unit:GossipComplete(player)
end

STEP 6: Make the .sql file

You Teleporter needs a .sql to execute to the database. There are some differend programs to do it, and you could use WoW Vendetta - Wage Your War. But i think i will use the program called: ''FlexibleDBEditor'' you can download it from here: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/progra...d-3-0-3-a.html

If not you wanner make a hole new npc use this:

INSERT INTO creature_proto (entry, minlevel, maxlevel, faction, minhealth, maxhealth, mana, scale, npcflags, attacktime, mindamage, maxdamage, rangedattacktime, rangedmindamage, rangedmaxdamage, respawntime, armor, resistance1, resistance2, resistance3, resistance4, resistance5, resistance6, combat_reach, bounding_radius, auras, boss, money, invisibility_type, death_state)
VALUES (333333, 250, 250, 35,  1000000,  1000000,  1000000,  1.5, 3, 1800, 150, 250, 1800, 500, 650, 36000, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, "MEMO", 0, 0, 0, 0);
INSERT INTO creature_names (entry, `name`, Subname, Flags1, type, Family, Rank, unk4, SpellDataID, male_displayid, female_displayid, unknown_float1, unknown_float2, Civilian, Leader, info_str)
VALUES (333333,"Taxi","Djfredericks Repack",0,7,0,0,0,NULL,28213,28213,1, 1,1,NULL, '');

ORANGE = Entry ID, BLUE = Name, WHITE = Subname, RED = DisplayID for a woman, GREEN = DisplayID for a man.

STEP 7: DisplayID and Entry

Go to you lua script again. Jump 1 line down and type in:

RegisterUnitGossipEvent(ENTRY ID, 1, "On_Gossip")
RegisterUnitGossipEvent(ENTRY ID, 2, "Gossip_Submenus")

Put your Entry ID from the .sql you made in, where it says: ENTRY ID

After you have followed the hole guide, it should look something like this:

function On_Gossip(unit, event, player)
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

function Gossip_Submenus(unit, event, player, id, intid, code)

if(intid == 999) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Northrend Locations", 1, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Azeroth Locations", 2, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 1) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Drangonblight", 300, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 2) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Stormwind", 301, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 300) then
player:Teleport(MapID, X, Y, Z)
unit:GossipComplete(player)
end

if(intid == 301) then
player:Teleport(MapID, X, Y, Z)
unit:GossipComplete(player)
end
end

RegisterUnitGossipEvent(ENTRY ID, 1, "On_Gossip")
RegisterUnitGossipEvent(ENTRY ID, 2, "Gossip_Submenus")

NOTE: When you are done with the script then type in another ''end'' like in the script we just made. Like this:

if(intid == 301) then
player:Teleport(MapID, X, Y, Z)
unit:GossipComplete(player)
end
end 

Not after:

RegisterUnitGossipEvent(ENTRY ID, 1, "On_Gossip")
RegisterUnitGossipEvent(ENTRY ID, 2, "Gossip_Submenus")

Gratz, you now made a small and simple NPC Lua Teleporter
Don't hope it were to hard to understand for you.

The best of luck, Djfrederick.

Omg, this is EPIC.

Havent seen one of these guides before. Glad you made one. Im not that good at lua scripting so this is a good starter guide for me. I love my teleporter Taxi Its just take looong time to make all the .gps's for locations

+Rep if i could but got to spread

[Djfrederick]

No problem, glad it was useful for somebody

[Thug4Life]

Cheers mate!
Worked like a charm for me ^_^

After trying to make a Portal to the places I wanted and failed, I got sick and tired of trying, but your guide has helped me through it, (rofl I sound like an idiot) but still, thanks ^^

I'll be Rep you if I can (Might need to Spread)

Fixed problem. Thnx AsgardCX. Rep for you ^_^

[AsgardCX]

Thanks frederick, very usefull just made one myself. Works like a charm just some minor adjustments. +Rep to you my friend but im out of cookie's!

Awesome work on the Repack and Teleporter. Thank you for the work. I'm trying to modify the porter script to cast mongoose. I have it so it tries to cast but unsure what to replace player with. I've looked around to find what the main hand is called. Tried slotid 21 but it errors.. Any ideas how I can make an enchant from an NPC to work? Appreciate any advice.. Might be the next guide idea for ya..

[Gosko]

Great guide! I would rep but I need to spread

:CastSpell(spellid) -- Just fill in the spell id which you want to the current unit to cast. This will cast the spell on caller of this function and ignore cast time.
    Usage:
        function CastSpell(Unit,event)
            Unit:CastSpell(5) -- death touch xd

I think thats what you are looking for

And thanks for your nice comments!

[Dweebert]

Appreciate the reply. Here's my delima, I found a script in the repack scripts folder that has this entry in it:

if(intid == 9) then
unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(58451, player)
unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(48100, player)
unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(58453, player)
unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(48104, player)
unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(48102, player)
unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(58449, player)
end

It works perfectly. What i'm tryin g to accomplish is in the same series of that code have the npc cast an enchant. When I use

unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(58449, player) with the enchant spell id

I can see the npc trying to cast the enchant. Problem is it's trying to enchant player and not the specific item. When I place Slotid ** or MainHandSlot in place of player it Fails.
I have browsed through lots of code trying to figure this out. It's tough when I have no real working knowledge of scripting. I have been trying to learn how scripting codes work.
And I copied and pasted your code into that string and it fails to load the .lua in game start. I have no clue as how it's useage is supposed to be. Thanks in Advance for any input..

[Meltoor]

I'm currently working on something, and this IS a big help for it, +2rep added.

[Djfrederick]

Glad you liked it Meltoor

Dweebert, i actually dont think that, that is possibel. I think you have to do so the Teleporter maybe gives the Player the item to do it, or a 2th way.
