LUA Question

[CairiFEA]

I did a search, and have been looking around trying to figure out what I don't understand. But, alas I cannot find it.

What is the value for miscunit? miliseconds? What exactly is the purpose.

function Aran(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
unit:RegisterEvent("Aran_Water_Elementals",1000,1)
unit:RegisterEvent("Aran_Polymorph",1000,1)
unit:RegisterEvent("Aran_Fireball",9000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Aran_Conterspell",13000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Aran_Conflagration",15000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Aran_FrostBolt",17000,0)
end
end

I notice they incriment; so I am guessing this is a delay between the attacks he does? Priority?

Also, if I just want a mob to non stop shoot fireballs, how could I do that? Like a looking script.

I am learning to use spin randoms as well as healthpct, any help would be greatly appreciated, and of course I'll be handing out +Rep.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

I have no idea what miscunit is. However it is not what you marked in red.

I never use it - I just write function Aran(pUnit, Event) and it works

The red things are intervals. 1000 means it'll call the function every second.

pUnit:GetHealthPct() get the health percent

[CairiFEA]

Ah thank you for clearing that up Spidey,

so just to confirm, if I wanted a mob to just spam say, a shadowbolt I would have:

function wlock(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
unit:RegisterEvent("wlock_sbolt",2000,1)

end

function wlock_sbolt(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
	Unit:CastSpellOnTarget(27209,Unit:GetClosestPlayer())
	Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Eat Shadow!")
end

This would call the sbolt every 2 seconds (2000)?

[SectorSeven]

Yes it would. I would write the message sending and other things in different groups with different times... otherwise the Eat Shadow would get annoying but i guess thats what you mean by spam say

[TheSpidey]

I do recommend using the same parameters in all functions. Saves you debugging time
pUnit and Event are what I use, though Unit is acceptable as well.
Choose one and use it

[SectorSeven]

Yes. pUnit and Event are the ones I use also

[CairiFEA]

Ah yes,

I am going to have a seperate function to only call the 'eat shadow' every 10 seconds where as he will cast the spell every 2 seconds.


And my next question was about to be about Unit and pUnit, what is the difference?

+Rep (gotta spread)

[TheSpidey]

Comfort.
They're the parameters for the function you're declaring.

You could even do function Arakkoa(lolwut, omghax) and it would work

[CairiFEA]

ah, so just a good method of syntax. Thanks again. This can be closed.

Ty Gents' for the quick replies and help.
