[Question] Quest Trigger > Lua Event

[Zudrik]

Is it possible to create a script that triggers from a quest? Ya know, where you hand in the quest then the Lua event happens. Like a little scene between a couple Npcs talking and one of the kills one, something like that.

If so, how would I set up the function to start the function and register it?

function QUESTNAME_OnComplete (pUnit, Event)
	(DO STUFF HERE)
end

RegisterQuestEvent(QUESTID, 1, "QUESTNAME_OnComplete")

Mess around with this.

Alright, I tried doing a little thing, and it didn't work the way I wanted it to.

I encountered a problem. How would I set up the script for the Npc that is standing next to the quest giver would say something? Because all the registers I can think of at the moment are the typical ones, combat, death, kill, etc. What I am talking about is the

RegisterUnitEvent(ID, ?, Name_?)

Like, what would be the number for him just to talk? Seeing as he doesn't go in combat or anything. Also, I'm just gonna guess that the Name_? would be whatever I give it, like Name_Talk or something.

I thought about this some more, and I'm not completely sure how this is actually linked with the quest, just that under the quest function I would put

pUnit:RegisterEvent("Name_Talk, 5000, 1)

I think thats right, right?

Could you give me what the you want the NPCs to say? I could script it for you.

[Zudrik]

Well, what I plan on doing will be more than just 1 Npc talking. There is going to be needed waypoints and crap added so they move, and overall this whole thing might take 5 minutes, lol. I probably shouldn't be trying this as a noob scripter, but I'm getting better with trying this.

So, I really don't want you to script it for me, I would just like you to look at this.

function Name_OnComplete(pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:RegisterEvent("Name_TalkPhase", 5000, 1)
	end
end

function Name_TalkPhase(pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(will change)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "blah blah blah")
	pUnit:RegisterEvent("Name_Yell1", 6000, 1)
	end

function Name_Yell1(pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(will change)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "blah blah blah!")
	end
end

RegisterQuestEvent(will change, 1, "Name_OnComplete")
RegisterUnitEvent(will change, ?, "Name_TalkPhase")

I imagine it would be looking like this, but again, what ID for the type of register would it be?

If I am wrong, please enlighten me.

[TheNacho]

Name_TalkPhase shouldn't need to be registered since it's activated by Name_OnComplete, or is that what went wrong? (Also, you should probably add a pUnit:RemoveEvents() at the start of Name_TalkPhase.)

[Zudrik]

If it doesn't need to be registered, how will the Npc next to the quest giver talk?

I have an easier way to discuss this. Add me on MSN - [email protected]

That is, if you would like to participate on this project with me.

Sorry for the double post, but I still need some help on this. I tried so much different crap and only got just a bit closer to starting it, lol. I've been getting errors like 'invalid Lua function' or the Npc doesn't send a chat message, you only hear a sound.

Oh and, for the

RegisterQuestEvent(QUESTID, 1, "QUESTNAME_OnComplete")

Apparently on the server I'm on, 1 is on accept and 2 is on complete. Lol
