[Guide] Creating a LUA bossfight!

[Gastricpenguin]

Meltoor, thats what the
Unit:RemoveEvents()
does, it makes sure it doesnt go back to the first percentage check.

[Meltoor]

I see now.

Here is my problem... once he gets down to 70% he cast frostbolt (my version) and doesn't stop casting it at all.... he just keeps on and on and on.....

Here is my script

function LordThanatos_Phase1(Unit, event)
if Unit:GetHealthPct() < 70 then
Unit:CastSpell(2847
Unit:RegisterEvent("LordThanatos_Doom",25000, 0)
Unit:RegisterEvent("LordThanatos_Phase2",1000, 0)
Unit:RegisterEvent("LordThanatos_Phase3",1000, 0)
end
end

function LordThanatos_Doom(Unit)
Unit:CastSpell(29204)
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "FEEL DEATHS TOUCH!!!")
end

function LordThanatos_Phase2(Unit, event)
if Unit:GetHealthPct() < 50 then
Unit:RemoveEvents()
Unit:CastSpell(2847
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME!?")
end
end

function LordThanatos_Phase3(Unit, event)
if Unit:GetHealthPct() < 20 then
Unit:RemoveEvents()
Unit:CastSpell(23537)
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "YOU ARE STARTING TO PISS ME OFF!!")
end
end

function LordThanatos_OnCombat(Unit, event)
Unit:RegisterEvent("LordThanatos_Phase1",1000, 0)
end
RegisterUnitEvent(101010, 1, "LordThanatos_OnCombat")

Thank you so much for this guide mate, it is very useful..
I shall use it myself, thanks again mate.. /smile

Many kind regards,
Shaun.

Rep added.

[King Shaun]

I only have one problem with this mate..
Is this right what I am thinkin'..

Open up notepad..
Do the script..

But how do I save into a .lua file in notepad. /smile

Thanks for your help mate..
If I get any.. /laugh

[MysticViper]

just do, save as > name.lua

just add .lua after the name and it converts to lua

and for blah7

from what i'm trying to understand,

unction LordThanatos_Doom(Unit)
Unit:CastSpell(29204)

should be the same as

function LordThanatos_Phase1(Unit, event)
if Unit:GetHealthPct() < 70 then
Unit:CastSpell(28478)

[Gastricpenguin]

Well there is a problem in your script. This boss would only reach phase 2 then all of the other functions would be removed. You only registered the events to check every second in the first phase, so once it hits the second phase - Those checks are removed, and phase 3 isnt registered. You need to register the next event in each phase.

[King Shaun]

Thank you for your help, I will see if that works later.. /smile

[Ellenor]

well it work on 70% but after that i get crushed.... oo well thx for ur hard work +rep!

[3shirtlessmen]
