LUA Scripting - NPC Emote when Yelling

[adambeale]

Hey All,
Have been searching for 2 days now for a solution to this but everywhere seems to be devoid of emote guides.

Quick backstory, I am making an area in my server that is very RP oriented and I want to have my main dude yelling a sort of story... I have the yelling working, my issue is, when he yells he doesnt do the yelling emote as well and I cant figure out why I am unable to get it to work.

It yells fine but doesnt move which looks funny... I have tried adding
Unit.Emote(5)
directly underneath the SendChatMessage even but it doesnt wanna work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is my condensed script for testing (I realise the random is uneccesary at the moment).

function Name(Unit, Event)
Unit:RegisterEvent("Ellzed_Say", 40000, 0)
end

function Ellzed_Say(Unit, Event)
local chance = math.random(1,1)
if(chance == 1) then
Unit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "Hello Is This Working")
end
end

function Ellzed_Died(Unit, Event)
Unit:RemoveEvents()
end 

RegisterUnitEvent(50000, 18, "Name")
RegisterUnitEvent(50000, 4, "Ellzed_Died")

Core: ArcEmu (Latest, compiled 2 Nights Ago)
Core Revision: Latest
Database: Hmm... WhyDB again latest
Database Revision:
Repack you used (if any): Hells no.... self compile ftl

You tried Unit:Emote(emoter number)?

You said you tried Unit.Emote so idk if you meant : or not.

Yeah, sorry, my bad.... The one i tried was Unit:Emote..... Have been looking at the emotes in game using .npc emote so had the fullstop in my head

Thanks for trying though!

I'm not at home right now, so I don't really have the resources to look into the issue for you, BUT my advice would be to try some other emotes and see if the emote function is broken, or if its just the emote your trying to use.

All good thank you for trying... And it seems to be the whole command that isnt working... The core is loading the script okay and it knows when I use the command incorrectly as I get errors showing in the core but when it seems all right it loads fine and no errors show so im stumped. Can you think of any other way to do it?

:Emote(emote id, how long to do it for) is how to do an emote, for example if I wanted somone to do the talk emote for 5 seconds:
:Emote(1, 5000)
If this isn't working your probably using the default Lua engine which 90% of the time is screwed up and most of the commands are broken. I advise you get the GuaEngine or have a look around the forums of the emulater you use for a better engine.
