VERY nice guild but there is a much easyer way to do this: either wow-v.com or the program Flexble Database editor {or simmilar prog}

[Zudrik]

Could you atleast stop using the black font on the guides that you post? Use a different color thats eaiser to read without me having to highlight everything to read it..

Like this color.

You can script with LUA or C++
I'm not a scripter but here's a Teleport NPC wich i found somewhere.
Dont remember but all the credit should go to that person.
It's only for the Main Cities like:
Orgrimmar
SW
Thunder Bluff
Silvermoon
Dalaran
Shattrath
etc...etc......

Here:

function On_Gossip(unit, event, player)
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)

unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Alliance Cities", 2, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Horde Cities", 3, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

function Gossip_Submenus(unit, event, player, id, intid, code)

unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Exodar", 304, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 3) then
unit:GossipCreateMenu(3543, player, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Orgrimmar", 305, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Undercity", 306, 0)

unit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "Silvermoon", 308, 0)
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "[Back]", 999, 0)
unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 300) then

end

if(intid == 303) then

unit:GossipComplete(player)
end

if(intid == 304) then

unit:GossipComplete(player)
end

if(intid == 305) then

player:Teleport(530, -1704.053589, 5376.160156, 3.416441)
unit:GossipComplete(player)
end
end

RegisterUnitGossipEvent(EntryID, 1, "On_Gossip")
RegisterUnitGossipEvent(EntryID, 2, "Gossip_Submenus")

Change the EntryID to your NPC's ID.
MAKE SURE TO SET THEESE OPTIONS ON THE NPC YOU CREATE WICH WILL BE THE TELEPORTER!

Make sure to put on theese options:

creature_names: Flags1 - Leave at "1"   without the ""

creature_proto: npcflags - Leave at "1"  without the ""

If you dont do this then the NPC you make will be a waste.
The "1" in NPC flags makes the NPC talkable so you can talk to it by right clicking on it.

Ok To add Waypoints follow this:
Click on your spawned NPC.

Now stand where u want it to walk.
then use command:

.waypoint add

The NPC will start walking to you. then move to another place.
use the same command

.waypoint add

Now if you want a flying NPC then use:

.waypoint addfly

then it will start flying in the air to the waypoint.
If you think that the NPC is standing to long on the waypoint then use this command:

.waypoint show

then all the waypoints will be shown.
Click on the one u want and use this command:

.waypoint waittime x

Replace the x with any number.
If you want an instant walking NPC then use

.waypoint waittime 0

if you want it to stand there for 10 seconds then use

.waypoint waittime 1000

if you want 3 seconds:

.waypoint waittime 300

etc...etc........

Ok hope it helps you

Remember i didnt make the Teleport NPC!

[sasoritail]

Oh and remember to edit the "EntryID" in the script.
This is LUA script.
Place it in your "scripts" folder.
It doesnt work for ManGos
Mangos doesnt support Script's.

ok Cya

Ok Hi bgtoinvite.

DOWNLOAD:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gdomm2d5jdj

Its in RAR so extract it, Place it in your "scripts" Folder ( Not script_bin )
then open the LUA file with Notepad.
Scroll down to the bottom.
Change " EntryID " to your NPC's EntryID.
