I'm starting todo some LUA coding but it ain't really working.. need some help guys

[Wheeze201]

Well.. i want to begin with simple scripts.

So i decided to make a script that makes an NPC with a specific ID say something when entering combat.

This is what turned out:

function voidsay_OnCombat(Unit, Event) 
Unit:SendChatMessage(11, 0, "LUA test")
end
RegisterUnitEvent(90902, 1, "voidsay_OnCombat")

Yet.. it doesn't work.

What did i do wrong ?

[Wheeze201]

Uh sorry.
But i just found out :P i put a space between end and the registerevent and changed 11 to 12.

Now i'm trying to make him cast a spell.. and that made him not say "LUAtest" when entering combat..

heres the script:

 function voidsay_OnCombat(Unit, Event) 
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "LUA test")
end

function voidsay_Shadow Bolt(pUnit, Event) 
pUnit:CastSpell(16784, pUnit:GetMainTank()) 
end

RegisterUnitEvent(90902, 1, "voidsay_OnCombat")
Unit:RegisterEvent("voidsay_Shadow Bolt", 1000, 2)

[Wheeze201]

I got him to say LUAtest while having that script in there.
I changed the name of the spell function.

But he isn't casting the spell.
Whats wrong ?

Dont switch between Unit or pUnit Use one or the other. and if you want him to say something other than Luatest.. Replace the text where it says Lua test with what you want him to say

function Voidsay_OnCombat (pUnit, event)
         pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "LUATEST!")
         pUnit:RegisterEvent("Voidsay_ShadowBolt", 1000, 1)
end

function voidsay_ShadowBolt(pUnit, Event) 
pUnit:CastSpell(16784, pUnit:GetMainTank()) 
end

RegisterUnitEvent(90902, 1, "Voidsay_OnCombat")

Try that just looked at it quick so might have missed something...

Also dont use SPACES when giving your functions names it should be SHADOWBOLT not SHADOW BOLT

Ah i understand a bit better now. I'll see if it works. Thanks.

[Wheeze201]

He doesn't cast the spell. =/

[Wheeze201]

The console said:
"Tried to call LUA function "voidsay_shadowbolt" from Arcemu <unit>!"

Try to capitalize the v

function Voidsay_ShadowBolt(pUnit, Event)
