Hey I'm trying to script a boss and I'm trying to make the boss spawn a NPC exactly on whoever is fighting the boss, (like Prince Keleseth's Frost Tombs)
but I can't figure out how to make the boss get the coords of the player (the player who is fighting the boss).

Does anyone know how to make the boss get the player's coords?

Thanks for the help

Something like:

z = plr:CurrentLocationZ()
x = plr:CurrentLocationX()

It would be something like that. Not saying that works.

it is like that but if he want to boss spawn NPC why would he need player coords he need Boss cord.. so it should be like this: Unit:GetX(),Unit:GetY(),Unit:GetZ(),Unit:GetO()

Read it again Trle:

"Hey I'm trying to script a boss and I'm trying to make the boss spawn a NPC exactly on whoever is fighting the boss, (like Prince Keleseth's Frost Tombs)"

then player:GetO() etc ..

[Dr. Livingstone]

local target = pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0)
local X = target:GetX()
local Y = target:GetY()
local Z = target:GetZ()
local O = target:GetO()
pUnit:SpawnCreature(NPCIDHERE, X + 3, Y - 3, Z + 3, O, 1720, 35000)

That should do it for you. That will only select a random player though.

Depends...

TABLE = {}
TABLE.x = {}
TABLE.y = {}
TABLE.z = {}

function TABLE.NPC_Something(Unit, pMisc, Event) -- Use the "pMisc" argument to get the player causing the event. E.G. in an OnCombat evert player is the person who initiated the combat. Player = pMisc
Player = pMisc
local x = Player:GetX() 
local y = Player:GeyY 
local z = Player:GetZ() 
TABLE[tostring(Player)].x = x +3
TABLE[tostring(Player)].y = y - 3
TABLE[tostring(Player)].z = z
--
Unit:SpawnCreature(NPCIDHERE, TABLE[tostring(Player)].x, TABLE[tostring(Player)].y, TABLE[tostring(Player)].z, 0, 1720, 35000)
end

That will spawn it on the player who initiated the event...
This will spawn it on a random player...

TABLE = {}
TABLE.randomperson = {} 
TABLE.randomperson.x = {} 
TABLE.randomperson.y = {}
TABLE.randomperson.z = {}  

function TABLE.NPC_Something(Unit, Event, Player)
local Target = Unit:GetRandomTarget() -- Can be changed to get a different target like main tank ;)
local Targetx = Target:GetX()
local Targety = Target:GetY()
local Targetz = Target:GetZ()
TABLE[tostring(Player)].randomperson.x = Targetx + 3
TABLE[tostring(Player)].randomperson.y = Targety - 3
TABLE[tostring(Player)].randomperson.z = Targetz
--
Unit:SpawnCreature(NPCIDHERE, TABLE[tostring(Player)].randomperson.x, TABLE[tostring(Player)].randomperson.y, TABLE[tostring(Player)].randomperson.z = Targetz, 0, 1720, 35000)
end
