SetSoulLinkedwith LUA Command Guide

In Order to Understand this you need a bit of LUA background follow this link to learn
SectorSevens LUA 101
Runikers LUA Guide (he cried) lol

Now Lets begin with telling what setting a soul link will do

it makes OnCombat the monsters that are soullinked with it will come and attack as well
instead of single pulling you can get whole groups thus making instances more challenging
now lets begin

dementrating what it will do (in the form of letters)

instead of

z c
x

u

you will get

z x c
u

XD

Making and explaining the script

nothing much to explain if your trully fluent with LUA and you paid attension to the above
you will know how to use when to use why to use and (theres no 4th on hahahaha)

i generally use the OnSpawn function for this command

Code:

function Example_OnSpawn(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SetSoulLinkedWith(z)
pUnit:SetSoulLinkedWith(c)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(x, 6, "Example_OnSpawn")

that will give you the example i made up earlier

now a true script will replace z, x, and c with
the Entry ID's

so have fun with this command : ) will be great for custom instances

Template

Written by Mager1794 created for editing purposes

Code:

function Template_OnSpawn(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SetSoulLinkedWith(NPCID)
#Add more soul links if you wish
end

RegisterUnitEvent(NPCID, 6, "Template_OnSpawn")

Well. Runiker (imo) your guide doesnt teach lua scripting. But it teaches the commands and the endings etc. Everytime i forget a command or an event. I look at your guide

I learned lua scripting from modifying lua scripts thats alrdy made;D

Just take a new one and modify it. Thats how i learned it
