HELP with LUA

[wiselunatic]

Hi dudes I followed a few guides and tried to make a custom boss lua but it seems like the boss doesn't ebven read the lua 'cuase it doesn't do anything writen there. The boss's name is Master of Puppets and the lua file is called BOSS_MasterofPuppets.lua ,other than that everything in it is called like , MasterofPuppets_spell1 , I you know what I mean ? .
though I'm sure the script is well but there's the file

///////Edited once more - now it speaks oncombat etc. but There's probably a problem at register event thingy , it doesn't work.

function MasterofPuppets_Spell1(Unit,Event)
Unit:CastSpellOnTarget(34240,Unit:GetMainTank())
Unit:castspellontarget(46480,Unit:GetRandomPlayer(4))

I did a few fixings. Idk if i got all the errors but i g2g so someone check it l8r


And check if lua is enabled, as spidey says

[wiselunatic]

thank you I did fix the scripts now but I didn'T know I had to allow lua's from world thing ,, although while starting world.exe it succesfully loads boss_masterofpuppets.lua . Lemme see if there's anything to change in World config

[wiselunatic]

I've edited the first post and replaced the old script code with the new one --I get no errors loading this script ( I did have with the old one )

[wiselunatic]

gah thx I'll learn acsent in no time :P ( with a 'lil help ofc) I just downloaded it yesterday anyway lemme' try that and see if it works

well I guess it didn't work , can it be that the file name doesn't fit ? Monster name Master of Puppets , file name BOSS_masterofpuppets.lua and also can you check the scripts too ?

[Power of Illuminati]

The file name doesn't matter at all, just as it's .lua

Try that one time

[wiselunatic]

nope , unfortunately

I've just noticed something , when I type .lookupcreature Master of Puppets , the result should be something like ,
creature: 999999 - Master of Puppets right?

it only says
