For one, youve got 4 parts of phase 1 and two parts of phase 2 : /
You could always look at my example bossfights.

But ill post the ending result in a bit

Gastric, can you post the full example script...i want to see it all combined. Nice Guide xD, cant wait to start, though i would need a look at the full script. +rep

[sylv100]

Very nice guide. But can you tell me how to make a boss summon a certain monster at a certain amount of hp?

[Gastricpenguin]

Added a final product.

[Arthas117]

great guide soz i cant rep u anymore xD

[nerull8883]

Awesome guide I have a question though, where are you learning LUA from? And is it possible to create scripts related to Items, GOs, etc. I'm fairly sure it is, a guide for that would be awesome :P

[plokami]

I would like to thank you very much for this guide.I am making a private server and the files i got have no script so i wanted some help with this and u gave it to me

[adro701]

very nice tutorial

[abndrew82]

Question on this, please

I created an NPC to fight and set up the script

It appears to call the script, but I dont seem to see any of hte spells I am telling it to cast

I am using the same spell in every area, just to see if I can get anything to cast

Not sure if I am using wrong spell ID but from my search 11702 should be a rank of Drain Life, but I never see this casted on me.

Thanks for any help

Here is the script in full

function phase_1(pUnit, Event)
 if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 70 then
  pUnit:RemoveEvents();
  pUnit:FullCastSpell(11702)
  pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "NOW TO START!")
  pUnit:RegisterEvent("phase_2",1000, 0)
 end
end
 
function phase_2(pUnit, Event)
 if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 50 then
  pUnit:RemoveEvents();
  pUnit:FullCastSpell(11702)
  pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "Drain Life!")
  pUnit:RegisterEvent("phase_3",1000, 0)
 end
end
 
function phase_3(pUnit, Event)
 if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 30 then
  pUnit:RemoveEvents();
  pUnit:FullCastSpell(11702)
  pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "NOOO I DONT WANNA DIE!")
 end
end
 
function boss_start(pUnit, Event)
 pUnit:RegisterEvent("phase_1",1000, 0)
end
RegisterUnitEvent(2, 1, "boss_start")

The chat messages are a test only really, but they appear to be working

the only issue I see if this spells.

I also just tried

FullCastSpellOnTarget(7641,unit:GetClosestPlayer()) from the Ascent Wiki Lua section

But still did not see any of the nukes casted on myself
