Basic lua script break down (for new lua users =P)

[Chrispl57]

1) function Zereketh_Void_Zone(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
	2)Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(30533,Unit:GetRandomPlayer())
	3)Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "The Void Zone will steal your life...")
4)end

1) States function
2) Declares target what is done and who dose it
3) Sends chat message when done
4) Ends Function

function 9) Zereketh(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
	5) unit:RegisterEvent("Zereketh_Void_Zone", 10) 10000,0)
end

5) Registers event name must put every function name ex:

unit:RegisterEvent("Zereketh_Void_Zone",10000,0)
unit:RegisterEvent("Zereketh_castspell",134330,0)

10) Cooldown for event

6) RegisterUnitEvent(  7) 20886,1," 8) Zereketh")

6) Registers unit
7) Units id
Name of event (see 9)


P.S.: sorry for numbers skiping around forgot stuff in middle and didn't feel like renumbering


Full Script

 function Zereketh_Void_Zone(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
	Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(30533,Unit:GetRandomPlayer())
	Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "The Void Zone will steal your life...")
end

function Zereketh(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
	 unit:RegisterEvent("Zereketh_Void_Zone", ) 10000,0)
end

If you can learn Lua in general then anything involving Lua in WoW you will be able to do 100x better. Too many bad habbits/poor coding styles within emulation, not to mention were only just starting to get a Ok Lua engine with Hypersniper's awesome LuaHypArc.
My point is, if you want to learn the basics look at the tutorials all over the internet. If you want to learn something more advanced, or how to do specific game mechanics/types of scripts through WoW emulation then post on here a guide.
