how to lua script!

[runemaster]

hey guys time for me to cough up something else.....


anyway here it is

HOW TO SCRIPT VIA LUA!@!!!@!11

I WILL FORMAT IT BASICALLY FILL IN THE BLANK TO MAKE IT EASIER.

OK HERE WE GO

FIRST AFTER FUNCTION always put the bosses name

function bosses name_OnCombat(Unit, Event)

next is how the guy says it , what form of speech 11 is sya 12 is yell and 13 is alert or something that no one uses......

Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "thing he says on combat")


now, the bosses name, the name of the spell, the spell name can be anything TBH as long as you know what it is. then how many seconds till hee casts it, like 5 means every 5 seconds.
now the last number means how many times he will cast it, put 1000 or something if u want him to keep doing it

Unit:RegisterEvent("bosses name_spellname1", how many seconds till it casts, x ammount of times)

same thing here

Unit:RegisterEvent("bosses name_spellname2", how many seconds till it casts, 7)
end

again, same thing here except for the [Units,event thing]

GetRandomPlayer(0)) means get any random player
GetRandomPlayer(4)) means get any random player with mana
GetRandomPlayer(5)) anyone with rage
GetRandomPlayer(6)) anyone with energy
GetRandomPlayer(7)) random non maintank

also, FullCastSpellOnTarget part.

FullCastSpellOnTarget casts a spell on a specific target!
CastSpellOnTarget casts without a casting bar
CastSpell is any AoE


function bosses name_spellname1(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(spellID, pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0))
end

function bosses name_spellname2(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:CastSpell(spellID, pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0))
end

this is simple, just fill in the blank and thing he says on death, when he kills you and when he enters combat.

function bosses name_OnDied(Unit, Event)
Unit:RemoveEvents()
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "thing he says when dies")
end

function bosses name_OnKilledTarget(Unit, Event)
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "thing he says when he kills a player")
end

RegisterUnitEvent(npc ID, 1, "bosses name_OnCombat")
RegisterUnitEvent(npc ID, 3, "bosses name_OnKilledTarget")
RegisterUnitEvent(npc ID, 4, "bosses name_OnDied")


thats all for now guys, ^^ hopefully you learned a bit of the basics from me now!! hehe shoudl look like this when completed.

function bosses name_OnCombat(Unit, Event) 
Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "thing he says on combat")
Unit:RegisterEvent("bosses name_spellname1", how many seconds till it casts, 7)
Unit:RegisterEvent("bosses name_spellname2", how many seconds till it casts, 7)
end

function bosses name_spellname1(pUnit, Event) 
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(spellID, pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0)) 
end

function bosses name_spellname2(pUnit, Event) 
pUnit:CastSpell(spellID, pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0)) 
end



function bosses name_OnDied(Unit, Event) 
Unit:RemoveEvents() 
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "thing he says when dies") 
end

function bosses name_OnKilledTarget(Unit, Event) 
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "thing he says when he kills a player") 
end

RegisterUnitEvent(npc ID, 1, "bosses name_OnCombat")

RegisterUnitEvent(npc ID, 3, "bosses name_OnKilledTarget")
RegisterUnitEvent(npc ID, 4, "bosses name_OnDied")

thanks ^^ i only want to help. maybe get some rep in, who knows^^ im tired of being nearly the only scripter on my server so i feel like teaching the basics to the people who decide to start one of their own.

theres like a million guides how to make a server, get it off hamachi, signs, gameobjects, w/e

[Romis]

For some reason my scripts won't load. I am using ArcEMU, and as far as I can tell there is no message in the console saying anything about it. I have placed all the files in the correct folder, and not even the original scripts are loaded, any idea why? +Rep if you can figure it out.
