NPC Movement and yells

[willkill]

Ive played on a server when the boss was engaged, it yelled (red letter came into chat window) and audio was heard as well. How is that possible? Whats the lua command for the red text and the audio? How can you also program a NPC to move with lua? Such as Illidan patrolling.

There are two ways to do this:
C++:
void OnCombatStart(Unit * mKiller) {
_unit->SendChatMessage(CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_YELL, LANG_UNIVERSAL, "TEXT IN HERE");
//Here you can put a sound in here ID Number of sound
_unit->PlaySoundToSet(SOUND_ID); }

LUA:
pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "text in here") //I think its 14
pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(SOUND_ID)

Exactly as he said but the "pUnit" is whatever you have set the function to. In pheory it could even be "Football:PlaySoundToSet(id)" as long as you change the function to. Also to make a mob patroll just target them and do .waypoint add, this will make the unit come to you as it's first point of movement, now walk somewhere else and add another waypoint, they will now walk between those 2 points with a default setting of 5 second gaps. Good luck!

Ok cool! Is it possible to make an NPC do a certain animation w/ lua or do I need to do it w/ C++?

that can be done by both aswell

:Emote(emoteid) -- Use this to get the unit to do a certain emote.
