Simple Lua Script , not working need help!

[Arugos]

Why is this simple script not working? The mob just cast the spell on himself instead of on the player attacking him , how do i make him cast the spell on the player attacking him , instead of the closest player or on himself? Also is there a way to make him yell also?


function GuardianofQuelThalas_MurmursWrath (pUnit, Event)
tarGet = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
pUnit:CastSpellOnTarget (33331,tarGet)
end
RegisterUnitEvent (50095, 1, "GuardianofQuelThalas_MurmursWrath")


Well i just want to know how to make this script cast murmur's wrath on the player attacking the npc and to make the npc yell 'no pvp here' when hes done casting

Delete "tarGet =" and say what happens

[Arugos]

kk ill try that , and ty for replying

[Pragma]

well see i made that script for him but i have had this hapen to me when i tried it out but usually this works but i have come to this conclusion, the spell type conflicts with the lua command, the spell type is whats making it cast it on himself

[Arugos]

still cast it on himself : P

[Arugos]

well i tryed with 2 spells so far , hammer of justice and murmur's wrath ... wich spell do you recommend me? this guy is my mall guard

[Pragma]

wait i have an idea, brb gonan check ascentemu.com

Eh, the current status of LUA IMO is s*itty. So many commands don't work and when they add stuff there is always a build error. You never know how wrong a working script can go

[Arugos]

dude i already understand nothing to script so i simply ask people for a sample script and some cool people reply with one , i modify it and see if it work ... i got some to work for one of my boss so far but ..if i could know how to make good script i would ..but im a real noob at scripting ... People tell me to use M++ but i dont understand nothing to that .. even more than Lua

So what do you guys recommend me to use? I just want a mall guard to cast a spell on a target that dare to attack him

And also .. if someone could give me a sample script that would be good for boss , like cast x spell every x second ..cuz mine spawn with an aura that reduce shadow resistance and he spam a seed of corruption spell whenever he can ..and that pretty gay

Here is a tutorial for LUA: Board Message

Good luck

Also, if you want a guard stopping PvP or whatever..just wait. Burlex is coding that and it would need C++, not LUA

make it look like this:

function GuardianofQuelThalas_MurmursWrath (pUnit, Event)
tarGet = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
if (plr~=nil) then
pUnit:CastSpellOnTarget (33331,tarGet)
end
end
RegisterUnitEvent (50095, 1, "GuardianofQuelThalas_MurmursWrath")

[Arugos]

TY very much dude +rep

[Pragma]

oh i found a tiny error in that script if it doesnt work make it look like this:

function GuardianofQuelThalas_MurmursWrath (pUnit, Event)
tarGet = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
if (tarGet~=nil) then
pUnit:CastSpellOnTarget (33331,tarGet)
end
end
RegisterUnitEvent (50095, 1, "GuardianofQuelThalas_MurmursWrath")
