[LUA Help] Enter Stealth on Spawn

[Stabatha]

I am almost finished scripting all of UBRS for the launch of our PreBC realm tomorrow. One thing I am stuck on is making Blackhand Assassin's go into stealth when they spawn. I'm open to all suggestions on how to do this.

+Rep for a solution that works.

[Juicyz]

Okay, this is how u do it

Function NPCName_OnSpawn(Unit)
Unit:CastSpell(Stealth Spell)
end


and then when you register

RegisterUnitEvent(EntryId, 6, "NPCNAME_OnSpawn")

and bam done if you have any more questions ask away

[Stabatha]

Ahh ok 6 = onspawn I was using 5.

Also one more.. how can I make a rookery egg which is a game object spawn a whelp if bumped into?

[Gastricpenguin]

You would need to code it in C++, as there is no way to get a player's distance using LUA.

[Juicyz]

Yes Gastric is there now a way... But I think it is coming up in the newest Patch.... Let me see if I can find the Function

[Stabatha]

the stealth didn't work.. I tried both

function BlackhandAssassin_OnSpawn(Unit)
Unit:CastSpell(32615)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(10318, 6, "BlackhandAssassin_OnSpawn")

and

function BlackhandAssassin_OnSpawn(pUnit)
pUnit:CastSpell(32615)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(10318, 6, "BlackhandAssassin_OnSpawn")

[Juicyz]

wel.... Let me see the whole script, there might be another problem... or is that the only script?...and also get rid of caps in the name... it can mess it up

[Juicyz]

OO U might need to update your LUA stuff.... Though

Also this is my script that i tested and works, Fine

function Felrogue_Strike(pUnit)
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(30013, pUnit:GetMainTank())
end

function Felrogue_Hemo(pUnit)
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(45897, pUnit:GetMainTank())
end

function Felrogue_OnCombat(Unit)
Unit:RegisterEvent("Felrogue_Strike", 10000, 2)
Unit:RegisterEvent("Felrogue_Hemo", 8000, 0)
end

function Felrogue_OnDeath(Unit)
Unit:RemoveEvents()
end

function Felrogue_OnSpawn(Unit)
Unit:CastSpell(32199)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(40004, 1, "Felrogue_OnCombat")
RegisterUnitEvent(40004, 4, "Felrogue_OnDeath")
RegisterUnitEvent(40004, 6, "Felrogue_OnSpawn")

Hope this helps

[Juicyz]

I found some of the functions, for the egg thing,
U might be able to use
:GetPlayerCountInRadius()
:GetDistance()
:IsMoving

There is more, but maybe you can make some thing with those.. Tryz.
Looking for the others

[Stabatha]

I tried your script.. only thing i changed was the mob entry id.. still not working

[Juicyz]

hm.. then your LUA engine or what it is called is updated I think... It works fine on everyother server I have tried.. Did you put the NPC in the DB???, also U have to restart the server each time you change a script.

[Stabatha]

I added

function Felrogue_OnCombat(Unit)
Unit:SendChatMessage(12,0,"Fools! Our cause is righteous!")

to assure it is loading.. He now says the chat message when I pull.. but still out of stealth. Even tried a fresh respawn. So the script is loading for sure.

[Juicyz]

hm..., I think your engine is different than mine...... some servers dont like GetMainTank() soo it might be bugging it.... But it should stealth., try instead of CastSpell, try FullCastSpell(id)

[Stabatha]

I now have

function Felrogue_OnSpawn(Unit)
Unit:FullCastSpell(32199)
end

Still no dice

[Stabatha]

Ok it works on my 19 twink server, which is running a older version of moonscripts. I recompiled using the LUAScripting from that and it works now.. +Rep for all the help


Update:
Now on my gate going to Beast after you kill Rend now errors about the gameobject having a nil value. This worked before the recompile.

function Renddoor_OnDied(pUnit)
    local Renddoor = pUnit:GetGameObjectNearestCoords(108.472649,-420.327850,110.922310,170556)
    pUnit:RemoveEvents()
    Renddoor:ActivateGameObject()
end


RegisterUnitEvent(10429,4,"Renddoor_OnDied")
