Custom Spirit Healer Help!

[mantor4]

I made my own pvp place, and i added the graveyards, one for horde and the other for alliance. But when you release the spirit, it makes you run back to your corpse. Is there a way to make it like a WSG spirit healer, so it countdown from 30 seconds, then revives you? Thanks alot

Make a graveyard that the player goes to upon dying, but instead of spawning a spirit healer there you will need to spawn a creature with death flags (so it only shows while dead) and script it.

You would want to script it so that every X seconds, it gets nearby players, if there dead then resurrect them.

I'm not entirely sure how to make the popup box with the countdown, which is probably just a packet if you look at how it is handled in the core.

I can't give any further help without any more information on the emulator you use. Hopefully this is enough to answer your question.

im using arcemu, and is there a certain spell id i need to use for the script?

You don't use a spell to resurrect the player, you use the resurrect player function in Lua or call the appropriate functions in C++ (set health -> set flags alive), look at how the normal spirit healer is handled.

What StoneHarry said. He knows what he's talking about Of course you can always consider if you really bother scripting the popup of the countdown, but... ^_^

	uint32 restime = _player->m_bg->GetLastResurrect() + 30;
	if((uint32)UNIXTIME > restime)
		restime = 1000;
	else
		restime = (restime - (uint32)UNIXTIME) * 1000;

	WorldPacket data(SMSG_AREA_SPIRIT_HEALER_TIME, 12);
	data << guid << restime;
	SendPacket(&data);

I was just going through changing some stuff on my server when I saw the above code snippet and remembered you asking, you just need to modify the time and send the packet to display seconds till ressurection.
