[Help request] Jaina Proudmoore

[Stew]

I've been working on scripting a few small parts of CoT:Strat (I know the forum rules say no WotLK but the exact same problem happens on regular BC emu)

I've been trying to get the Arthas/Uther/Jaina conversation, and i'm using the Jaina from hyjal since she's friendly to A and H, doesnt have <Ruler of Theramore> over her head, she's the same model, and doenst have to fight at all. The problem is that she doesnt trigger script events.
I've been through her database records comparing her to theramore Jaina and trying to make her as similar as possible, but regardless of what i tried she still didnt trigger script events, although her theramore version did.

I've been working for the past couple of hours in northshire with the pair of them, spawning hogger in between them and trying to get the following test script to work but no dice. Theramore Jaina triggers events, Hyjal Jaina doesnt.

function Jaina_OnCombat(Jaina)
Jaina:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "have at thee hogger!")
print "test"

end
RegisterUnitEvent(17772, 1, "Jaina_OnCombat")



function Jaina2_OnCombat(Jaina)
Jaina:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "die beast!")
print "test2"

end
RegisterUnitEvent(4968, 1, "Jaina2_OnCombat")

Can anyone help me fix Jaina please?

Its pretty basic starting... Tho arthas117 does that kind of scripting, and to tell you the truth it really just makes me frustrated because it hardly ever works O_O...

function Jaina_OnCombat (pUnit, Event)
	local Choice=math.random(1, 2)
		if Choice==1 then
			pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "Have at thee Hogger")
		elseif Choice==2 then
			pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "Die Beast!")
end

RegisterUnitEvent (EntryID, 1, "Jaina_OnCombat")

She will either say 2 of those, i got the above script from Brutallus.lua from LUA++ and so i just changed the function and she will say the above stuff

[Stew]

thanks BrantX, but you totally missed the point - in the script i posted, the 2 functions are just copy and paste duplicates of one another but saying something different, and attached to different mob entryIDs, but only the second one actually works, the first one doesn't seem to do anything at all.

It wasn't trying to get the same mob to say different things :-)

[BrantX]

You mean like this?

function Jaina_OnCombat (pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "have at thee hogger!")
end

function Jaina2_OnCombat (pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "Die beast!")
end

RegisterUnitEvent (4968, 1, "Jaina2_OnCombat")
RegisterUnitEvent (17772, 1, "Jaina_OnCombat")

[Stew]

yeah like that, thats the same one as in my original post. So why doesnt it work >.<

EDIT: oh well nevermind, i gave up and wrote a completely new Jaina who seems to be fine. Just need to figure out how to make her walk around (she doesnt have a spawn id so can't add waypoints in the database

You are regestering your event on the wrong place? Atleast what I can see

[Stew]

lol, you all arent seeming to get the fact that they're 2 identical scripts for 2 different npcs but one works one doesnt

Also - it doesnt matter where you register events

[Power of Illuminati]

They are not identical

Your function:

function Jaina_OnCombat(Jaina)

BrantX function:

function Jaina_OnCombat (pUnit, Event)

There you got the reason why only one worked.

[Stew]

so i give my variables different names, so what?

also:

Script 1:
function Jaina_OnCombat(Jaina)
Jaina:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "have at thee hogger!")
print "test"

end
RegisterUnitEvent(17772, 1, "Jaina_OnCombat")

script 2:


function Jaina2_OnCombat(Jaina)
Jaina:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "die beast!")
print "test2"

end
RegisterUnitEvent(4968, 1, "Jaina2_OnCombat")

why does one work and one not?

[Power of Illuminati]

What one of them doesn't work and what one work?
Are they both in the same lua file or are they seperate?

If it is the one above that doesn't work, try put the registerunitevent UNDER all
