Lua NPC Gossip Checklist

[iindigo]

Ok, so I've been trying to get NPC gossip options figured out on my server (ArcEmu 3410), and even though I've done what I thought was needed, it won't work. Am I missing something? Here's what I've done:

• Wrote a .lua file adding gossip options and registering the OnGossipTalk and OnGossipSelect events to my NPC's id.
• Saved the .lua in my arcemu scripts directory
• Restarted the server

Lua support is enabled and working for things already in the DB, so that's not the problem. It's probably something really silly, but I'm not seeing what's wrong. Might anyone here have a clue?


Thanks!

It would be helpful if you uploaded you script to pastebin so we could see if there are any errors

Have you set the flags in creature_proto to 1? (can't remember if it's called npc_flags or just flags)

Yes, the creature's flag is set to 1, and when talked to in-game shows the default gossip ("Hello $N, how can I help you?").

Here's my script thus far:

function NPCGossipTest_OnGossipTalk(pUnit, event, player, pMisc)
pUnit:GossipCreateMenu(3544, player, 0)
pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Bake a cake!", 1, 0)
pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Bake a pie!", 2, 0)

pUnit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

RegisterUnitGossipEvent(500002, 1, "NPCGossipTest_OnGossipTalk")
RegisterUnitGossipEvent(500002, 2, "NPCGossipTest_OnGossipSelect")

I haven't even bothered with what the options do when clicked. I'm just trying to get the options to show up in the first place.

Just a quick bump...

So is my script written incorrectly, or have I messed up elsewhere?


Thanks again.

Here you go:

function NPCGossipTest_OnGossipTalk(pUnit, event, player, pMisc)
pUnit:GossipCreateMenu(100, player, 0)
pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "Bake a cake!", 1, 0)
pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "Bake a pie!", 2, 0)
pUnit:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

function NPCGossipTest_OnGossipSelect(Unit, Event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
   if (intid  == 1) then
      player:SendBroadcastMessage("Here is your cake.")
      Unit:GossipComplete()
   end

   if (intid == 2) then
      player:SendBroadcastMessage("Here is your pie.")
      Unit:GossipComplete()
   end
end


RegisterUnitGossipEvent(500002, 1, "NPCGossipTest_OnGossipTalk")
RegisterUnitGossipEvent(500002, 2, "NPCGossipTest_OnGossipSelect")

Instead of the chat messages, you can ofcourse put your own events in like additem or something. Take a look at some guides for cool events, for example from here: full list of lua commands
