[LUA] Check a Spawned unit's HP? Is it possible?

[controlsx2]

Is it possible in LUA to check an Ads HP. I spawn the Ad at 20% and make my boss invincible is there anyway to then check that Ad's HP so that when the ad is on 10% i can make my boss able to attack again?

I was thinking maybe this, but not sure if it would work

AD = Unit:SpawnCreature (ADENTRYID, x, y, z, o, 14, 60000);

function BOSS_CHECKAD(pUnit, Event)
if AD:GetHealthPct() <= 10 then
//Write in here
end
end


Would that work, if not is it possible

P.S On normal LUA engine

Do it this way.

local ThisNpc -- Need this here to prevent bugs

RegisterUnitEvent(id, 18, "define_OnSpawn")

function define_OnSpawn(pUnit, event)
        ThisNpc = pUnit -- this npc is now a variable (only this one, not all of that id)
end

-- wheee loads of the boss script bla bla bla

-- ok the boss function where you want to check adds hp

function CheckAdd(pUnit, Event)
 if ThisNpc:GetHealthPct() <= 10 then
    pUnit:RemoveEvents()
    pUnit:SetFaction(20) -- hostile?
    pUnit:StopMovement(0) -- enable movment if you disabled
    pUnit:SetCombatCapable(1) -- allow it to attack
    pUnit:RemoveAura(1) -- If you gave it an aura like invicnible you can remove it with this
    end
end

Ask if you don't understand

I think you made a mistake Harry.

pUnit:SetCombatCapeable()

Works a "Reversed" kinda way. It needs 1 for Not being able to attack, and 0 for being able to attack.

I think i get it what is 18 for then, when you use the Spawn Command? Also what if i was tracking 2 or 3 Ads

would i have to do it like this?
local ThisNpc
local ThisNpc2

RegisterUnitEvent(id, 18, "define_OnSpawn")

function define_OnSpawn(pUnit, event)
ThisNpc = pUnit -- this npc is now a variable (only this one, not all of that id)
Unit:RemoveEvents()
RegisterUnitEvent(id, 18, "define_OnSpawn2")

==Spawn Code Her
end

function define_OnSpawn2(pUnit, event)
ThisNpc2 = pUnit -- this npc is now a variable (only this one, not all of that id)

end

[stoneharry]

Yup, then once the npc is defined as a variable you can use it anywhere else in that script. For example:

ThisNpc1:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "where are you?")
ThisNpc2:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "Boo!")

[controlsx2]

Also one thing how would i do a timer, like if i wanted to spawn and then wait 10seconds and do somethign else, is there a sleep command or something?

[AngelSandy]

function Spawn_Lawl(pUnit, event)
     pUnit:Spawncreature(blablabla)
     pUnit:RegisterEvent("Spawn_Lawlz",10000,1)
end

Could this be a suggestion?

[stoneharry]

What AngelSandy said, you just register another event for on a timer, then when you function the next event RemoveEvents() to make it not repeat.
