Running several of the same script

[newtech]

Hey. Im having some issues with my script. It is working perfectly fine, its a bossfight for an instance Im developing, the only issue is... I cant run the script twice. Confusing? Probably. What I mean is, I cant do the same boss, in 2 different instances. I used onyxia's lair for testing, when I encountered the boss with one of my characters, and again with another character (in another raid, so in a different world) the boss acted like there was no script on it. Please help me someone? I dont understand this... D:

Thanks

Tried, but I couldnt get it to work >_< Here's a video of what happens, when I try to encounter the boss, in 2 different raidlocks:

I hope you can see what happens, but Im gonna explain it anyways. When I encounter it, with my tauren, the script apparently only works there, so when I move near, with my belf, it just acts like a nonscripted mob. Just autoattacking :<

When I execute the "OnCombat" event on the belf raidlock, it happens on the taurens raidlock D:
Oh yeah, and if I execute the "OnCombat" event via the taurens raidlock, it still happens at the tauren. Could this be cause I logged into the tauren first, that the boss in that instance, then is of highest priority?
Anyway, what I just wanna know is... How can I make this work, so the same script, and work parallel, in 2 (or more) different raids?

Anyone knows?

What happends is that the NPC in question tries to call the same function twice, and since the NPC has the same Entry ID it clashes. If you didn't notice the first encountered boss casted the same spell twice or such? , what I can tell you to do is make an exactly alike creature with a different entry and copy paste the script and enter the second ID aswell. That way you will have 2 bosses, but with the same functions. That way it won't clash, unless you use global variables (i.e: Die = Unit:CastSpell(5) ) , though if you make it a local, (i.e local Die = Unit:CastSpell(5) ) it won't clash. I made quiet a mess explaining but basically you can't have two bosses call the same function because Lua conciders it to be the same npc calling it twice, it doesn't concider the fact that there might be more then one of the spawned creature. Hope this helps

Be happy when the ai-rewrite branch's Lua engine gets put into trunk, you won't have to bother with collision shit
