Now what?

[willkill]

I just did a simple lua script in notepad and saved it. How do I implement it onto the server? I cant find a guide anywhere

[latruwski]

save it as a .lua file and then put it in the scripts folder... it should be automatically loaded
Ofcourse if you used lua++ you need their engine!
if the scripts folder does not exist in the arcemu directory then create it

[willkill]

im on arcemu so I c a folder called scripts_bin. Do I put it in there or make a folder called scripts? Im trying this script to work:

function muru (pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:CastSpell (41078)
end  
RegisterUnitEvent muru, 1, "muru"

Im not sure if "muru" should be a mob ID or what.

scripts_bin = C++ scripts...
you need to create a scripts folder if you don't have one

[willkill]

can you check my new script pls? Cant find out y its not working. I found out how to cast basic stuff but this isnt working

function Hogger_open (pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:RemoveEvents()
	pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, Haha, Prepare to get killed!")
	pUnit:RegisterEvent ("Hogger_Fireball", 20000,1)
end


function Hogger_Fireball (pUnit, Event)
	if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 72 then
	pUnit:RemoveEvents()
	pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(40598)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage (12, 0, "You are not prepared!")
	pUnit:RegisterEvent ("Hogger_suicide", 20000,1)
end
end

function Hogger_suicide (pUnit, Event)
	if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 25 then
	pUnit:RemoveEvents()
	pUnit:SetScale(2)
	pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(45855)
	pUnit:CastSpell(38166)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage (12, 0, "NO! I CANNOT DIE!")
end
end

pUnit:RegisterUnitEvent (448, 1, "Hogger_open")

You dont have any of the spells registered...

Such as

pUnit:RegisterEvent("ShadowGnome_Iceflare", 4000, 0)

then

function ShadowGnome_Iceflare (pUnit, event)
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(3130, pUnit:GetMainTank())

end

Also try

Hogger_EnterCombat or Oncombat instead of Open.

ALso 20k is a fairly long time for a mob like normal hogger that isnt likely gonna live that long.

If you wanna register it in Phases like it seems you do youll need to add in

pUnit:RegisterEvent("Hogger_Phase2", 1000, 0)
pUnit:RegisterEvent("Hogger_Phase3", 1000, 0)
pUnit:RegisterEvent("Hogger_Phase4", 1000, 0)

and so on then instead of

function hogger_fireball you would have

pUnit:RegisterEvent("Hogger_Phase2", 1000, 0)

and then register your events as mentioned above with the Iceflare parts

Look in my profile and add me to MSN if you need further explanations,,

[willkill]

Ty for your help! Not sure exactly how to register spells lol.
Would this work?

function Hogger_open (pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:RemoveEvents()
	pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, Haha, Prepare to get killed!")
	pUnit:RegisterEvent ("Hogger_Fireball", 20000,1)
end


function pUnit:RegisterEvent("Hogger_Phase2", 1000, 0)
	if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 72 then
	pUnit:RemoveEvents();
	pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(40598)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage (12, 0, "You are not prepared!")
end
end

pUnit:RegisterEvent("Hogger_Phase3", 1000, 0)
	if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 25 then
	pUnit:RemoveEvents();
	pUnit:SetScale(2)
	pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(45855)
	pUnit:CastSpell(38166)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage (12, 0, "NO! I CANNOT DIE!")
end
end

pUnit:RegisterUnitEvent (448, 1, "Hogger_open")

[kreegoth]

function Hogger_EnterCombat (pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:RemoveEvents()
	pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, Haha, Prepare to get killed!")
	pUnit:RegisterEvent ("Hogger_Fireball", 20000,1)
                pUnit:RegisterEvent("Hogger_Phase2", 1000, 0)
                 
end

function Hogger_Fireball (pUnit, event)
         pUnit:CastSpell(FIREBALL SPELL ID HERE)
end


function Hogger_Phase2 (pUnit, event)
	if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 72 then
	pUnit:RemoveEvents();
	pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(40598)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage (12, 0, "You are not prepared!")
                pUnit:RegisterEvent("Hogger_Phase3", 1000, 0)
   
end
end

function   Hogger_Phase3 (pUnit, event)
	if pUnit:GetHealthPct() < 25 then
	pUnit:RemoveEvents();
	pUnit:SetScale(2)
	pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(45855)
	pUnit:CastSpell(38166)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage (12, 0, "NO! I CANNOT DIE!")
end
end

pUnit:RegisterUnitEvent (448, 1, "Hogger_EnterCombat")

Something like that...

[willkill]

Thanks again, but it doesn't seem to work. Hogger isnt doing anything differant QQ

[LJN]

Don't forget that in your world config file you can disable/enable lua scripts. Search in notepad "LUA" somthing like this will show up...

LUA- "0"
AS- "0"

Change the 0 to 1.

[willkill]

Its fine. I was working with scripts earlier and they were working. Phases just confuse me like crazy. After all, I learned this stuff today

[latruwski]

post the error if you get one...

[kreegoth]

Is 448 the correct ID for the NPC your trying to use? I'm assuming its Hogger:P. But yeah other than that watch the World window when it loads and post the error here

[willkill]

Yea its 448. I rewrote the script and it seems to be working now. Ill +rep you wen I can =D

[willkill]

When do you put pUnit? and when do you put Unit?
