I created a mob called Syndicate Magi. Now I've made this script:

function SyndicateMagi_onCombat (pUnit, Event)
pUnit:CastSpell(38692, pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0))
end
RegisterUnitEvent(700700, 10, "SyndicateMagi_onCombat")

There must be something wrong, because the mob doesn't cast any spells, it just attacks with melee. I want it to cast fireball when a player gets in it's range. Is there anything wrong?

[SectorSeven]

No 0 needed.
pUnit:CastSpell(38692, pUnit:GetRandomPlayer())

You want OnCombat right? thats a 1 not a 10
RegisterUnitEvent(700700, 1, "SyndicateMagi_onCombat")

Still not working... I have enabled the Ascent - world.conf stuff and got ascent repack 7.7. Some of my Instances were scripted before I got it and they are working...

[SectorSeven]

Try player:CastSpell

How does lua work with mangos? in my mangos folder I do not have a scripts folder or a scripts_bin folder... do I make them and download what I need? I understand the actual code better from your guide, but I have no clue on how to use the scripts I made with mangos...
+1 rep that I can give though

[SectorSeven]

lua doesn't work with MaNGOS, your emulator has to have the Lua engine in it and MaNGOS doesn't, only Ascent.

Awesome guide, really helps with creating events and such. Had to rewrite a lot of it to make it more understandable though, but great guide none the less!
