Need some help with random stuff

[Fumi]

Hey mmowned


I have this script

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!")
       pUnit:RemoveEvents()
    end
  end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(99990, 18, "OnSpawn")

and the guard only says it on spawn, and i want it to say it to each player coming close to him, in a 10 yard range

ive also made mobs for a inctance but they seem to attack eachother due to the flags ive given em, do you know any good flags for mobs against allys i dont need em for hordes

thanks

function OnSpawn(pUnit, Event) -- This defines the functions name, and what the function uses.
  pUnit:RegisterEvent("CheckForPlayers", 1000, 0) -- This says the the pUnit (The NPC) is going to use the "CheckForPlayers" command every 1000 milliseconds, until the server dies or the Event is removed.
end -- This tells the engine that that is everything that is in the function "OnSpawn"

function CheckForPlayers(pUnit) -- Defines another function, "CheckForPlayers"
  local plr = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer() -- This is making a local word, "plr" whenever the word "plr" comes up, it now means what it is equal to.
  if plr ~= nil then --If nobody is nearby, then...
    if pUnit:GetDistanceYards(plr) < 10 then --check if there is a player within 10 yards, if there is..
      pUnit:SendChatMessage(12,0,"Its dangerous out there!") --Send this chat message in say, then...
       pUnit:RemoveEvents() -- Remove all events, including the one that pulses every 1000 milliseconds to check if someone is nearby.
    end -- closes the check for if anyone is nearby
  end -- closes the check for if player is equal to anything
end -- closes the CheckForPlayers function

RegisterUnitEvent(99990, 18, "OnSpawn") -- This script binds to NPCid 99990 when it spawns and starts at the function "OnSpawn"

I'm not going to hand the answer directly to you on a silver platter, use the notes I have given at the end of each line and remove the line that is causing it.

Didn't really answer the question, or have anything to do with only sending the message to each player as they draw close.

Aka, this would have to be done via inserting the player into a table when they get near to make sure that they are not used again. Example script: http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/K...tainHilnom.lua

i am not that good at LUA and dont understand alot of the script, but it seems hard.

so what if i just want it to say it every 30 sec?

and i still need a good faction thats hostile with alliance

if i remove the pUnit:RemoveEvents() he will spam every 1000 milisecond

something like that should work

[Fumi]

[Lua] local players = {} local welcome_back = {} function OnSpawn(pUnit, Event) - Pastebin.com

ty, i am too lazy to start the server right now, but i threw u a rep cookie

Noticed a typo, fixed: [Lua] local players = {} local welcome_back = {} function OnSpawn(pUnit, Event) - Pastebin.com . Should work but not tested.

anyone has a nice faction? remember it has to be hostile with alliance and friendly to eachother
