[Lua] Boss Script

[mrjoker123]

Thanks all that have clicked on this thread, the problem is probably a very easy one, however i'll explain it.

When in a boss fight, using different spells. I do it the cheater way and create lots of phases and correspond one spell, etc so its much easier.

However, i have this lua script for a boss, and on phase 2 <=40% health, i want it to spam arcane blasts? i'm still learning lua and i dont understand it. atm i do it so it casts it every 5 seconds, but its even after the long cast time? any help, thankies

function Petra_Phase2(pUnit, Event)
		if pUnit:GetHealthPct() <= 40 then
		pUnit:RemoveEvents()
		pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "EAT MY APPLE PIE")
		pUnit:SetMaxMana(10000000)
		pUnit:RegisterEvent("Petra_FrostboltofAges", 1000, 50)
		pUnit:RegisterEvent("Petra_ArcaneBlast", 6000, 0)
		pUnit:RegisterEvent("Petra_Phase3", 1000, 0)
		end
		end

function Petra_ArcaneBlast(pUnit,Event) 
	pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(42897, pUnit:GetMainTank())
end

**Just a snip bit of the code**

Also another dilemma i face is that when i try and set the model it just completely ignores? i do pUnit:SetModel(*DISPLAYID*)

function Petra_Phase1(pUnit, Event)
		if pUnit:GetHealthPct() <= 75 then
		pUnit:RemoveEvents()
		pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "TEXT")
                pUnit:SetModel(ID)

And if anybody else has any little bits to add that will help me thankies, ! ooo i just thought of another thing!!

Spawning Adds byside of the boss

Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x-0.5, y, z, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x, y-0.5, z, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x, y, z-0.5, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x-0.5, y-0.5, z, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x-0.5, y, z, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x, y-0.5, z, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x, y, z-0.5, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x-0.5, y-0.5, z, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x-0.5, y, z, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x, y-0.5, z, o, 14,50000)
		Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x, y, z-0.5, o, 14,50000)

I changed the ID, (30416), but im not sure what to do for x,y,z etc? umm am i being noob or just retarded? i just want to test it so i place the boss anywhere i havent really put any .gps down? would i just have to do that or is there a way of doing it so it spawns so many xyz away from the boss?

thanks if you can help with any 3 of the problems and help me solute.. as i said there probably like /FACEPALM but u know, instead of me trying to work it out for like 5 hours i ask you guys, thanks

EDIT:: one last thing i hate wamp and just cant stand it its such a fiddly program for me whenever i use it, ive downloaded a website and ive configged the files? is there anyway of just adding it to like a htdocs file inside of server ? if so can someone help me pleaseee tyy x sorry for asking for so much help ;/

I don't quite understand the question, could you try and explain it more?

Also another dilemma i face is that when i try and set the model it just completely ignores? i do pUnit:SetModel(*DISPLAYID*)

That should work, throw in the creatures displayid and you should be good.

I believe you can do this:

Unit:SpawnCreature(30416, x+5, y+5, z+5, o+5, 14,50000)

Not sure really, try it out. (Been awhile since I messed with Lua)

thanks mate, i tried doing SpawnCreature and then X,y,Z before, but it doesnt understand the values? maybe because i need to register?

and what i mean by arcane blasts is that i want it to repeatidly cast the spell, with no cooldown?

[Mildan]

With the no cooldown I guess you can just make it with the FullCastSpellOnTarget, every 1 second, or ½ a second, so it almost imediatly casts a new one after the previous one.

As for the X Y Z coordinates, I cant remember which is which, but sine World of Warcraft is a 3D virtual world game, it simply says, is where it is on the ground, and how far up/far down it is.

[Kiev]

You need to define what x y z is.

You can define it with the creatures location, or you can define it to be a set position on the map.

[Ground Zero]

Remember if you set a phase to loop, eg do Arcane Blast every 5 seconds, and you move onto the next phase, eg 20% hp and you tell the NPC to RemoveEvents() it will remove the Arcane Blast loop.
