My script commits suicide!

Here is the script,

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "Setup.h"
#include "../Common/Base.h"
#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "Setup.h"
#include "../Common/Base.h"

LifeEnder(Creature* pCreature) : MoonScriptBossAI(pCreature)

AddEmote(Event_OnCombatStart, "You are not prepared!", Text_Yell, 11466);
AddEmote(Event_OnTargetDied, "Give into your fear!", Text_Yell, 1146;
AddEmote(Event_OnTaunt, "Such Arrogance", Text_Yell, 11471);
AddSpell(47889, Target_Self, 100, 0, 1000000);

When world loads it says unexpected symbol near # please help!

You know this is C++ and not Lua, right? You don't save this as a .lua file under your scripts folder, you need to compile it as part of the src/scripts solution.

[Toffster]

erm, how do i do that? I know it's C++ but how do i compile/thingie it?

[Pedregon]

Quick Guide;

1. Open "arcemuVC90 - All Projects"
2. I'm assuming this is a "raid script" so go into "ArcInstanceScripts" > Right Click > Add > New Item > Enter the name of the script and save it as a .cpp file.
4. Copy and Paste your Script into the blank .cpp you made.
5. Now go into "Setup.h"

Find somthing like;

void SetupUlduar(ScriptMgr* mgr);
void SetupZulFarrak(ScriptMgr * mgr);
void SetupZulGurub(ScriptMgr * mgr);
void SetupSerpentshrineCavern(ScriptMgr * mgr);
void SetupMagtheridonsLair(ScriptMgr * mgr);
void SetupSunwellPlateau(ScriptMgr* pScriptMgr);
void SetupWorldBosses(ScriptMgr * mgr);
void SetupZulAman(ScriptMgr * mgr);
//other
//void SetupGenericAI(ScriptMgr * mgr);

Add your script there, so it would be somthing like

void SetupCustomBoss(ScriptMgr * mgr);

6. Go open up "Setup.cpp" find somthing like this;

	SetupZulFarrak(mgr);
	SetupZulGurub(mgr);
	SetupSerpentshrineCavern(mgr);
	SetupMagtheridonsLair(mgr);
	SetupSunwellPlateau(mgr);
	SetupWorldBosses(mgr); 
	SetupZulAman(mgr);
	//Other
	//SetupGenericAI(mgr);

and add somthing like this to it;

SetupCustomBoss(mgr);

7. Now Save it all and Compile. :]

[Toffster]

Er, do you have msn or something so you can guide me through that. Heres what i don't understand (I'm new to C++)
1. Open "arcemuVC90 - All Projects"

actually probably the whole thing apart from the bits in code, I get that. I think....

EDIT: I think i got it now, I do this in Microsoft Visual C++ right?

[Link_S]

This is why it's recommended you learn basic C++ before moving on towards emulation "/

[Pedregon]

Yes you do, and Link_S is right.

[Toffster]

Well, i've done that now and I know how to do that, well I think I do. It involves recompiling it right? And to be honest, I can't be asked to do that.

EDIT: Is there any way to change this script into a .lua one?

[Pedregon]

Yes it involves recompiling, also LUA and C++ and the same and are not. More so, You can convert this into a LUA easily.

Here's a quick LUA I made based on your C++ script, you can modify it whatever way you want.

function LifeEnder_OnCombat(pUnit, event)
 	pUnit:SendChatMessage(14,0,"You are not prepared!")
        pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(11466)
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Phase1", 20000, 0)
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Spell2", 10000, 0)
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Spell3", 30000, 0)
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Spell4", 40000, 0)
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Spell5", 60000, 0)
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Phase1", 30000, 0)
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Phase2", 50000, 0)
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Phase3", 33000, 0)    
        pUnit:RegisterEvent("LifeEnder_Taunt", 120000, 0)     

end

function LifeEnder_Phase1(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:CastSpell(70358)
end

function LifeEnder_Spell2(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:CastSpell(47809)
end

function LifeEnder_Spell3(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:CastSpell(27216)
end

function LifeEnder_Spell4(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:CastSpell(691)
end

function LifeEnder_Phase2(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(14,0,"You know nothing of power!")
pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(11469)
end

function LifeEnder_Spell5(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:CastSpell(68983)

end

function LifeEnder_Phase3(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(14,0,"I will not be touched by a rebel such as you!")
pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(11479)
end

function LifeEnder_OnKill(pUnit,Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "Give into your fear!")
pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(11468)
end

function Aman_Taunt(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "Such Arrogance"")
pUnitSoundToSet(11471)
end

function LifeEnder_OnDied(pUnit, Event)
        pUnit:RemoveEvents()
		pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "Ahhhh!")
end


RegisterUnitEvent(NPCID, 1, "LifeEnder_OnCombat")
RegisterUnitEvent(NPCID, 2, "LifeEnder_OnKill")
RegisterUnitEvent(NPCID, 4, "LifeEnder_OnDied")

Thank you very much!
