Couple Questions & Requests

[Willzy]

I'm sort of confused on what to name a script.
For example, I have the LK 25m 25hc 10m and 10hc (Tysvm stone.)
But I'm not sure what I'm supposed to name it
Could anyone answer me?
+Rep to first answer.

Also, I'm trying to learn Lua, but can't find any tutorials that'll somehow make sense, can anyone link me a guide? Also +Rep to the first to answer.

My script clashed - you can only have one version running at once as it uses the same npc's. The merged version tries to get the instance difficulty and act upon this, but last time I checked this was bugged.

Name it whatever you want, save it as a .LUA file (very important!) and then put it in your scripts folder. Done and dusted.

Thank you. I'll +Rep you once I can, need to spread some.
Anyone got a Lua tutorial or something yet?

Hardest language I've ever had to learn.
Even harder than spanish.
The more advanced thing I know so far is:

for i = 1,16 do
     print("Willzy is epic.")
end

What comes out:
Willzy is epic.

I'm going to post a lot on here to get some confirmation if my scripts I'm trying to do are good scripts, or if they won't do anything bad.
1st Script,
(Remember, this is Lua. Not C++ or anything.)
This is Lord Marrowgar;

function LordMarrowgar_FirstEnter(pUnit, event)
	local player = LordMarrowgar:GetClosestPlayer()
end

It's for as soon as a player walks in, he's supposed to aggro the closest to him.
Is there anything wrong?

Once you learn one programming language properly, the rest come easily...

The function you have is not hooked to anything so it will not be triggered.
All your doing is getting nearest player, your not doing anything with t he returned result.

If his faction is hostile, he should automatically engage a player, otherwise if he's friendly and you want to make him attack:

function morrowgar(pUnit, Event)
pUnit:SetFaction(35) -- Friendly, since if he has been attacked before and goes hostile, it saves hostile...
pUnit:RegisterEvent("wait_a_sec", 1000, 0)
end

function wait_a_sec(pUnit)
local plr = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
if plr ~= nil -- if there is a result
pUnit:RemoveEvents() -- Stops it checking by removing previous register
pUnit:AttackReaction(plr,1,0) -- Applys aggro on creature from player
pUnit:SetFaction(21) -- Makes the creature hostile
end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(npcid, 18, "morrowgar") -- 18 being on spawn

If you ever want some help with lua or such, you can contact me on msn: [email protected]

Harry has taught me quiet a lot aswell and since he's usually rather busy, I can help you out since i'm not

Oh, okay how about this then:

function LordMarrowgar_OnSpawn(pUnit, event)
	LordMarrowgar = pUnit
	LordMarrowgar:RegisterEvent("Marrowgar.FirstEnter", 1000, 0)
end

function LordMarrowgar_FirstEnter(pUnit, event)
	local player = LordMarrowgar:GetClosestPlayer()
	if player ~= nil then
		if LordMarrowgar:GetDistanceYards(player) <= 65 then
			LordMarrowgar:RemoveEvents()
			LordMarrowgar:PlaySoundToSet(16950)
			LordMarrowgar:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "This is the beginning AND the end, mortals. None may enter the master's sanctum!")
		end
	end
end

Did I get the message right? I usually always get those wrong ^^'
@Meiya
Alright, I'll add you, thank you very much.
EDIT: Mei, whenever I click your profile on my msn, it automatically crashes..

Try reinstalling msn messenger, if that doesn't work we can set up a skype chat or something.

Alrighty, will do, I'll only get home in an hour, so I'll try to download the iPhone Messenger.

That script is fine - but you shouldn't of defined the person as a variable, just use pUnit.

You set him to a global variable - which shouldn't work since LuaBridge was implemented.

There is no need to handle him as a variable.

How about this then:

function LordMarrowgar_OnSpawn(pUnit, event)
	LordMarrowgar = pUnit
	LordMarrowgar:RegisterEvent("Marrowgar.FirstEnter", 1000, 0)
end

function LordMarrowgar_FirstEnter(pUnit, event)
	local player = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
	if player ~= nil then
		if LordMarrowgar:GetDistanceYards(player) <= 65 then

			LordMarrowgar:PlaySoundToSet(16950)
			LordMarrowgar:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "This is the beginning AND the end, mortals. None may enter the master's sanctum!")
		end
	end
end

aka

Instead of:
X = Y
Just use:
pUnit: DoStuff()

Omfg mei whenever I try logging on msn I get your chat window talking to me and get an error and then it closes me out, I can't use my msn account anymore >.<;
@Harry
Okay, could you demonstrate, or like, transfer my script in your words?

[stoneharry]

function LordMarrowgar_OnSpawn(pUnit, event)
    pUnit:RegisterEvent("Marrowgar.FirstEnter", 1000, 0)
end

function LordMarrowgar_FirstEnter(pUnit, event)
    local player = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
    if player ~= nil then
        if LordMarrowgar:GetDistanceYards(player) <= 65 then
            pUnit:RemoveEvents()
            pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(16950)
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "This is the beginning AND the end, mortals. None may enter the master's sanctum!")
        end
    end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(npcid, 18, "LordMarrowgar_OnSpawn")
