Custom Boss Kill Announcer

[singoe]

I want to make a lua script that basicly announces to on the server, when a player kills a custom boss. It would look like "-[Player]- has Just Killed -{Custom Boss}-". How do I make this script? or can someone make it for me?

Are you using LuaHypArc?

PS: I don't know lua for shizznit. But I found the commands here.

Hope it helps. I tried to figure out a script for you, but lua is NOT my profession.

function X_OnDeath(pUnit, Event)
    local plr = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
    if plr ~= nil then
    local name = plr:GetName()
    local world = GetPlayersInWorld() -- I don't know if this needs pUnit in front of it.
       for a, plrs in pairs(world) do
       plrs:SendBroadcastMessage("This awesome boss of epix was just killed by  "..name.."!")
       plrs:SendAreaTriggerMessage("This awesome boss of epix was just killed by  "..name.."!")
       end
    end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(npcid, 4, "X_OnDeath")

Enjoy. Also here is a list of commands added with LuaHypArc (it comes with default ArcEmu): http://arcemu.info/trac/arcscripts/b...E_COMMANDS.txt

Very nice, thanks stoneharry.

Thanks stoneharry, but this is what I ended up writing

function Altor_OnDied(Unit, Event)
	Unit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "I have failed. May the creator smite your wretched souls.")
	Unit:RemoveEvents()
		for k,v in pairs(GetPlayersInWorld()) do
	    v:SendBroadcastMessage("" ..Player:GetName().."[" ..Player:Getlevel().. "] has slain " ..Unit:GetName().."!")
	end
end

You didn't define the player, but good cut-down on the variable use.
