[kreegoth]

Im not a LUA scripter but from looking at it maybe this could be the problem

Also i seem to remember a post not too long ago about something to do with Fullcastspellontarget being different or somehting..


Try making these changes to the script.



RegisterUnitEvent(200032, 5, "King Epirus_Cast")
RegisterUnitEvent(200032, 5, "King Epirus_PhaseTwo")
RegisterUnitEvent(200032, 1, "King Epirus_OnCombat")
RegisterUnitEvent(200032, 3, "King Epirus_OnLeaveCombat")
RegisterUnitEvent(200032, 4, "King Epirus_OnDied")

 pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(27209, pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(4))

You cannot have a # in the ()'s. It's just a bug for some Servers out there, and I guess yours is one of 'em. You gotta have a 0 or use a different Target.

You could also use a local. seems to bypass some things.

function bear_Start(pUnit, event)
local Target = pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0)
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(32323, Target)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(2354,1,"bear_Start")

I have the same problem on my server, the local thing seems to go around that bug.

For him he would try

function bear_Start(pUnit, event)
local Target = pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(4)
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(32323, Target)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(2354,1,"bear_Start")

But yah, Locals are helpful. I dunno if they bypass the (#) bug though? I would give it a shot. Tell us what happens

[Cursed]

I'd say you totally convinced him to cast the spell oO
