Guard speaks when you come close

[Fumi]

Would you be able to make a guard say something when you come close in Lua, i know you can in C++ but i need it in Lua and if you are able to how would it look?

thanks

function OnSpawn(pUnit, Event)
  pUnit:RegisterEvent("CheckForPlayers", 1000, 0)
end

function CheckForPlayers(pUnit)
  local plr = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
  if plr ~= nil then
    if pUnit:GetDistanceYards(plr) < 10 then
      pUnit:SendChatMessage(12,0,"Stay away!")
    end
  end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(npcid, 18, "OnSpawn")

function OnSpawn(pUnit, Event)
  pUnit:RegisterEvent("CheckForPlayers", 1000, 0)
end

function CheckForPlayers(pUnit)
  local plr = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
  if plr ~= nil then
    if pUnit:GetDistanceYards(plr) < 10 then
      pUnit:SendChatMessage(12,0,"Stay away!")
    end
  end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(npcid, 18, "OnSpawn")

Thanks, is the 10 the range from the guard?

[stoneharry]

Yes, in yards.

Currently it will keep sending that message very second while you are less than 10 yards away from the npc.

You can make it only sent the message by removing events (pUnit:RemoveEvents()) and then registering when you next want the function to be called.

i cant seem to get it to work i placed it in script folder as guard.lua

function OnSpawn(pUnit, Event)
  pUnit:RegisterEvent("CheckForPlayers", 1000, 0)
end

function CheckForPlayers(pUnit)
  local plr = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
  if plr ~= nil then
    if pUnit:GetDistanceYards(plr) < 10 then
      pUnit:SendChatMessage(12,0,"Its dangerous out there!")
    end
  end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(99990, 99990, "OnSpawn")

The problem is in this line

RegisterUnitEvent(99990, 99990, "OnSpawn")

you changed the "18" (on load) to the NPCs ID. Just write it back to 18.

RegisterUnitEvent(99990, 18, "OnSpawn")
