How would I make an 'if' function that calls for a players faction when clicking on a gossip menu item? I am wanting to have the npc teach horde a certain spell and alliance a certain spell when clicked on.

Alright, I finished my first script... I went to test it but either I'm not putting it in correctly or I made a mistake in the script. This is it anyways:

function Keleth_SendChatMessage (unit, Event)
    Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "It seems that some classes are missing spells... Click on me to get them!")
end

function Keleth_MainMenu (unit, player)
    Unit:GossipCreateMenu(1228, player)
        Unit:GossipMenuAddItem(player, 4, "Teach me my spells!", 1, 0)
    player:GossipSendMenu()
end

function Keleth_OnGossipTalk (unit, event, player)
    Keleth_MainMenu(unit, player)
end

function Keleth_GetPlayerClass (unit, player)
    local id = Unit:GetPlayerClass()
end

function Keleth_OnGossipSelect (unit, event, player, id, intid, code)
    if(id == 11) then
        unit:LearnSpell(9634)
        unit:LearnSpell(40120)
        unit:LearnSpell(26996)
        unit:LearnSpell(33745)
        unit:LearnSpell(26999)
        unit:LearnSpell(26997)
        unit:LearnSpell(26998)
        unit:LearnSpell(8983)
        unit:LearnSpell(1066)
        player:GossipComplete()
    end
    if(intid == 3) then
        unit:LearnSpell(5149)
        unit:LearnSpell(883)
        unit:LearnSpell(2641)
        unit:LearnSpell(6991)
        unit:LearnSpell(982)
        unit:LearnSpell(1515)
        player:GossipComplete()
    end
    if(intid == 2) then
        unit:LearnSpell(20773)
        unit:LearnSpell(34767)
        unit:LearnSpell(23214)
        player:GossipComplete()
    end
    if(intid == 9) then
        unit:LearnSpell(688)
        unit:LearnSpell(697)
        unit:LearnSpell(712)
        unit:LearnSpell(691)
        unit:LearnSpell(23161)
        player:GossipComplete()
    end
    if(intid == 1) then
        unit:LearnSpell(2458)
        unit:LearnSpell(355)
        unit:LearnSpell(25275)
        unit:LearnSpell(71)
    end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(100000, 7, "Keleth_SendChatMessage")
RegisterGossipEvent(100000, 7, "Keleth_MainMenu")
RegisterGossipEvent(100000, 7, "Keleth_OnGossipTalk")
RegisterGossipEvent(100000, 7, "Keleth_GetPlayerClass")
RegisterGossipEvent(100000, 7, "Keleth_OnGossipSelect")

The purpose of the script is to get an npc that detects a player's class and gives any missing spells if there are any. So a warrior can click it and get his stances instead of having to do the quests. I don't have all of the missing stuff, so I'll add more when I get it finally working.

I am using SectorSeven's Blizzlike Repack v2. Server works fine, but I don't think I'm putting the code in correctly. It's saved under the lua folder, and I think lua is enabled.

Anyways, any help would be appreciated

[SectorSeven]

So does the script work or not? LUA is enabled in the core but it needs to be enabled in ascent-world configuration file.

[pachuco55]

When I used it on your server it didn't work. Right now I'm setting up on a new rev because my devs want me to try out some other stuff too... Did you have the added lua functions such as GossipCreateMenu and such? We had to get a patch for those, could be it. I'll get back to you if it works or not.

[Aleski]

sweet - Looks a bit complicated for me but keep up the good work

[SectorSeven]

They do work. But Aleski this is as simple as it gets.

[Power of Illuminati]

Nice guide S7, have you released your advanced lua guide yet? I'll be waiting on it +Rep

[Shredfire]

Hey, me again >.< SectorSeven umm thanks for the help before but i still cant get it to work

MichaelSchweitzer_Playerinrange (pUnit, Event)
pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(11803)
end
RegisterUnitEvent (23988, 7, "MichaelSchweitzer_Playerinrange")

Thats the script....And i have it in a .lua file format so it should work i hoped.... but i cant figure out why its not working, and yes the server can run .lua files because of the fact we have scripted portals.

Ps: Like i said before i am trying to get the band manager of the L70ETC to play the music, at least when you click on him to talk which is type 7 if i am right and yet it seems to not work at all, thanks for any help you give me and the help earlyer intill then ill keep working on it...

Oh wait Nvm, I think i found a fix I forgot to add the Function to the top of it and that one little thing could screw it up i suppose....

Ps: Nope dident work...... Still doesent work WHY!!!!
