[Guide] How to Advanced Lua.

[ZestyJ]

Hello today i will be teaching you the some advanced things with lua like intid and such this is very muched used in almost all servers with teleporters.

First you have to start it off as if any other lua.

function firstname_secondname(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)

Second you are going to create the gossip menu.

function firstname_secondname(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
     Unit:GossipCreateMenu(TextID, player, 0)

TextID = Usually 100 you can find others in your db or just use 100
player = Means that it sends it to the player you must keep this.
0 = Unknown (Works if you just leave it)

Third you need to add a menu item.

function firstname_secondname(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
     Unit:GossipCreateMenu(TextID, player, 0)
     Unit:GossipMenuAddItem(Icon, "MenuName", [intid], extra)

Icon = Usually 0 or 1 it is the icon that is next to the option like a cog or wings.
MenuName = What you would like the option to say.
[intid] = In this case it is going to be the intid so id say 1 - infinite depending how many options.
extra = Usually un-used so just leave it as 0.

Fourth you need to send the menu to the player and end this part of the script.

function firstname_secondname(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
     Unit:GossipCreateMenu(TextID, player, 0)
     Unit:GossipMenuAddItem(Icon, "MenuName", extra)
     Unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

player = Sends the menu to player must leave it for it to work

Fifth you need to put the intid to work you will declare that anything beyond the point of declaration and the next "end" will happen when you choose the option.

function firstname_secondname(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
     Unit:GossipCreateMenu(TextID, player, 0)
     Unit:GossipMenuAddItem(Icon, "MenuName", extra)
     Unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if (intid == [intid]) then

Sixth we are going to make the option do something in this case we are going to make it have a song play.

function firstname_secondname(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
     Unit:GossipCreateMenu(TextID, player, 0)
     Unit:GossipMenuAddItem(Icon, "MenuName", extra)
     Unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if (intid == [intid]) then
     Unit:PlaySoundToSet(SoundID)

Seventh you must complete the gossip and end the whole script.

function firstname_secondname(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
     Unit:GossipCreateMenu(TextID, player, 0)
     Unit:GossipMenuAddItem(Icon, "MenuName", extra)
     Unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if (intid == [intid]) then
     Unit:PlaySoundToSet(SoundID)
     player:GossipComplete()
end
end

Last but definetly not least we must register the lua event.

function firstname_secondname(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
     Unit:GossipCreateMenu(TextID, player, 0)
     Unit:GossipMenuAddItem(Icon, "MenuName", extra)
     Unit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if (intid == [intid]) then
     Unit:PlaySoundToSet(SoundID)
     player:GossipComplete()
end
end

RegisterUnitGossipEvent(EntryID, 1, "firstname_secondname")

EntryID = The id of the npc you wish to talk.
1 = First Gossip event goes up everytime you register a new event.
firstname_secondname = Replace with your name.

Then you must make sure that your npc can be used for gossip the flag id is 1 .

Then you must save the script as a lua and put it in script_bin for it to work. To add more menu items repeast adding menu item and making options .

Hope this helps.

Does no one think this is useful?

[stoneharry]

It's not that advanced and I already knew this, so I did not comment I'm only commenting now because I'm sure some people are leeching this.

Nice guide man i will use this to add to my collection of guides, if you dont mind i will give you the credit itl just be a compilation

If you know what a metatable is then put that in because this is not an advanced script an advanced script would be something that has more than gossip menus and the such.

And a few fixes the script you have there. It does not require firstname_secondname the reason people use this is to define which npc is being called and what that npc is doing it could just be one thing like NpcOnGossip but its easier to read the other way.

and as far as menus go you also need to define which intid is going to be output like this:

Unit:GossipMenuAddItem(Icon, "MenuName", intid, extra)

Anyway thats just some extra for the readers good luck peepz ^^

its not the script_bin folder, it only the scripts folder.

anyway, good guide.
