[Meiya's Lua Request Thread] Request your boss in here!

[Meiya Stormsinger]

Since I believe I am now experienced enough to post a "request a script" thread, I'll do it!

Even though I know all of the basics of Lua, constantly scripting things will help me to grasp the idea even more and become a better scripter. This is a charitable act, but I'm mostly doing it so I can enhance my scripting skills and think about events in a scripting way better.

For a first thing, you do NOT have to give me credit for scripting whatever you want scripted. I don't care if you go around saying it's your script, I am only doing this so I can improve my Lua skills. The only thing I ask for is your respect and patience.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

1.) Any questions about when your script will be finished will make me stop your script all together. Patience is required for a good script, so just deal with it if it's taking longer than usual.

2.) I reserve the right to change anything in your script if I deem it necessary. I won't use it to insult you or anyone else. 99.99% of the time I will be using it to improve the script's output.

3.) If the script does not work, PM me or post on this topic with exactly what is happening if anything at all. ALWAYS check your 'world' before you report an error.

4.) I reserve the right to refuse to script something if it is just too complicated or is not relating to Lua.

5.) You may only have ONE script pending at a time.

FORMAT

NOTE: PM me with this format. Do NOT post on this topic or I will not script it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Type of script

2.) Entry ID of boss / npc / item

3.) EXACT outline of what you want the script to do

4.) Spell IDs (can be included in the outline). Put the ID and then the name of the spell, makes naming the functions a lot easier to avoid confusion

sounds like a great deal. Bump and good luck with the scripting

Bomb script please. ^^ xD

Sounds good, do you think you can help/ or creature a working instance of Caverns of Time: Escape from durnholde? I'd really love to see this done.

How good are you at scripting because i have a few idea's about what i want from a boss. Some of the things that i would like the boss to do, is to be kited, have 3-4 phases, include model changing, single character or/and aoe stun's, displellable enrages (Need hunter's to tranq), create stacking debuff's that do AoE damage on decurse, Do some standard hardcore tanking debuffs that need taunting and dispelling and finnally some sort of add's that need to be spawned and destroyed with in 20-30 seconds or they will enrage and wipe the raid. I don't have very much experience with LUA at all so thats why I'm asking if this is A) possible to do with LUA and B) If you are experienced to do it. If the answer is Yes it is possible and yes you can do it, then i will prepare the senario with the format that you have asked.

Thanks for reading

Upgraded the thread, not only doing bosses but i'm also doing gossips, server hooks and what ever you might figure out!

I need a script that can script itself.

[Meiya Stormsinger]

Classic stuff i believe there is a script in the general release section that actually allows you to make a script in-game from an npc, though it only covers bosses.

That's actually quite a interesting concept, to make something that learns.

For example when the player casts the spell create a new value in a array for that spell and keep counting for each time the player uses that spell, then creature could cast the top 3 most popular spells at X timers that randomise each call.

When you put it like that it makes more sense. This would actually be pretty cool, but wouldn't this include meta tables and such?

Depends how you want to handle it, you could handle it with a single 2 dimensional array.
