[bigmanqqq]

Just Asking cause i want to do that..that would be sweet

like anzu in shadow labs? [druid swift flight form quest dude]?

function Anzu_HealthCheckA(Unit)
    if Unit:GetHealthPct() < 66 and Didthat == 0 then
        Unit:FullCastSpell(41196)
        Unit:SpawnCreature(23134, -90.7, 265.7, 26.86, 0, 18, 36000000);
        Didthat = 1
    else
    end
end

function Anzu_HealthCheckB(Unit)
    if Unit:GetHealthPct() < 33 and Didthat == 1 then
        Unit:FullCastSpell(41196)
        Unit:SpawnCreature(23134, -90.7, 265.7, 26.86, 0, 18, 36000000);
        Didthat = 2
    else
    end
end

function Anzu_Cyclone(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
    print "Anzu Cyclone"
    Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(40303,Unit:GetClosestPlayer())
    Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Let's blow this place...")
end

function Anzu_Screech(Unit, event, miscunit, misc)
    print "Anzu Screech"
    Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(40321,Unit:GetClosestPlayer())
    Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Some Cyclone...")
end

function Anzu(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
    print "Anzu"
    unit:RegisterEvent("Anzu_HealthCheckA",1000,1)
    unit:RegisterEvent("Anzu_HealthCheckB",1000,1)
    unit:RegisterEvent("Anzu_Cyclone",10000,0)
    unit:RegisterEvent("Anzu_Screech",17000,0)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(23035,1,"Anzu")

any idea how to make a mob cast a spell when he hit a certain % oh his hp or just a certain amount?

same as above, unless its a healing spell, cause that'd like ... be messed he'd just keep casting it when you got him down if you used that method, not sure if anyone else know ...

Great Guide Illidan1 Really helped with LuA Scripts!

[Apieter]

After ive added a spell to a boss, how do I know how often he cast it? :P Like, If I make him cast fireball, how do I do it so he will only use it like every 30 seconds?

[Illidan1]

Thanks for Comments and All that guys, Thanks

[Ellenor]

[[RagDoll]]

Nice

Gonna use this on my private server

[runiker]

good but its missing the basic point on the how to make your own not just a spell or anything

[controlsx2]

Why doesnt he talk.

function corrupter_enter (pUnit, Event)
print "enter"
pUnit:SendChatMessage (11, 0, "For **** Sake! Can't you just leave me grow leaves in peace?")
end


function corrupter_die (pUnit, Event)
print "die"
pUnit:SendChatMessage (11, 0, "Well done, you killed a ****ing tree. Any arsehole with a chainsaw coulda done it!!")
end


function corrupter_HealthCheck(Unit)
if Unit:GetHealthPct() < 10 and Didthat == 0 then
Unit:CastSpell(14204)
Didthat = 1
else
end
end

function corrupterfight(unit, event, miscunit, misc)
print "corrupter"
unit:RegisterEvent("corrupter_HealthCheck",1000,1)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(519201,1,"corrupterfight")
RegisterUnitEvent (519201,4,"corrupter_die")
RegisterUnitEvent (519201,4,"corrupter_die")
RegisterUnitEvent (519201,1,"corrupter_enter")
RegisterUnitEvent (519201,1,"corrupter_enter")

it says when he enters combat or died but he doesnt speak

hey i also have a problem i tried to make a diablo npc which would yell stuff and cast a spell but the script i made didnt work for both functions and yes i put it in my scripts folder and added .lua i followed the guide exactly (i think) but i cant get it to work =/
heres the script:

 
function Diablo_Cone of Fire (pUnit, Event)
pUnit:CastSpell (36876)
end 
RegisterUnitEvent (13371337, 1, "Diablo_Cone of fire")
 
function Diablo_Entercombat (pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage (5, 0, "Not even death can save you from me!")
end
RegisterUnitEvent (13371337, 1, "Diablo_Entercombat")

i think the problem is that when i put .lua at the end of the file name only the name changed not the file type
hope im makeing this clear =/

[controlsx2]

thp write it in notpad and save it as blabla.lua then in second drop down box where it says type or something click all files

[thpthpthp]

[miniko]

function Thor'Maz_OnEntercombat (pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Why are u even trying?")
end
RegisterUnitEvent(5, 1, "Thor'Maz_OnEntercombat")


function Thor'Maz_OnDie (pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "I lost..")
end
RegisterUnitEvent(5, 1, "Thor'Maz_OnDie")

Function Thor'Maz_OnKillTarget (pUint, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "Hmph Too easy")
end
RegisterUnitEvent(5, 3, "Thorn'Maz_OnKillTarget"

function OnKillTargetScale(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SetScale(1.5);
end
RegisterUnitEvent(5,3,"OnKillTargetScale")

Whats wrong?

[tyfuz666]

Like your guide very much but i do have a problem...

when i load all the luas i get this on one of them

N LuaEngine: welcome.lua
failed. <could not load>
scripts\welcome.lua:1: '<' expected near '!'

any idea what is the problem?

[richdude212]

In the script file even when i put .lua at the end it still says text doc. and when i restart the server it does not load why help. what i mean is that it will not load as a lua script and its a text doc.
