[Script a Mob to cast spells] Guide

[P1raten]

How to script a npc so that it casts spells. And yells out stuff.

First were gonna start out with a basic variable. Note that "99999" can be changed to what ever the mob's id is.

local npcid = 99999

This says that npcid is the same thing as the id. So if we later on write npcid it will think its 99999.

Next up.

Note that NPCName_SpellName is changeable, NPCName SpellName too. Put the Spell ID in SpellID. And put a message which you want him to say in; You shall die slowly..

function NPCName_SpellName(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
	print "NPCName SpellName"
	Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(SpellID,Unit:GetClosestPlayer())
	Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "You shall die slowly..")
end

Note that you can repeat this command over and over again. As long as the NPCName_SpellName is different every time.

And at the end, put this.

RegisterUnitEvent(npcid,1,"NPC Name")

And then its done. Now save the document as a .lua, and then your done.

Hope this helped.

The final script should look like this:

local npcid = 99999

function NPCName_SpellName(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
	print "NPCName SpellName"
	Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(SpellID,Unit:GetClosestPlayer())
	Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "You shall die slowly..")
end

RegisterUnitEvent(npcid,1,"NPC Name")

Please report any buggs or questions.

Over and out, P1raten.

It would be better if you taught on like WHEN the mob will use the spell or ability, and how to make the mob make a buff pop on on himself, or maybe even give some spell IDs
But it looks good in general. + rep.

Agree with MaxLundell to many of these guides make it more explainable and such! as newbeginners need more help than pros.
