Get a script to run on NPC load...

[tyeeeee1]

Hey,

I'm trying to make a little mini-script to give one of my NPCs a bit of movement, because emotes won't seem to work with waypoints for me I've decided to script it all. From what I know I'm pretty sure this script should work, but for some reason it doesen't. Any help is appreciated.

function SeanPinius_01(Sean, event)
	Sean:MoveTo(1147.234985, -2513.346924, 62.106869, 4.014952)
	Sean:RegisterEvent("SeanPinius_02", 2000, 1)
end

function SeanPinius_02(Sean, event)
	Sean:Emote(173, 20000)
	Sean:RegisterEvent("SeanPinius_03", 21000, 1)
end

function SeanPinius_03(Sean, event)
	Sean:MoveTo(1139.066772, -2512.010986, 62.106483, 3.215648)
	Sean:RegisterEvent("SeanPinius_04", 4000, 1)
end

function SeanPinius_04(Sean, event)
	Sean:Emote(173, 15000)
	Sean:RegisterEvent("SeanPinius_05", 16000, 1)
end

function SeanPinius_05(Sean, event)
	Sean:MoveTo(1146.047485, -2504.617676, 62.073895, 1.256081)
	Sean:RegisterEvent("SeanPinius_06", 7000, 1)
end

function SeanPinius_06(Sean, event)
	Sean:Emote(173, 120000)
	Sean:SendChatMessage(12, 7, "Work work...")
	Sean:RegisterEvent("SeanPinius_07", 121000)
end

function SeanPinius_07(Sean, event)
	Sean:MoveTo(1149.655029, -2512.616943, 62.107830, 2.235471)
	Sean:RegisterEvent("SeanPinius_01", 120000, 1)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(90017, 18, function() return; end)

Additional Information:
-The NPCs ID is 90017
-The NPC is located in Caer Darrow (Not scholomance, the town outside)

Basically it makes Sean Pinius walk around, do the blacksmith emote on some anvils and a forge, then walks him back to his original position, then it loops.

RegisterUnitEvent(90017, 18, function() return; end)

What?

RegisterUnitEvent(90017, 18, "SeanPinius_01")

Should work.

RegisterUnitEvent(900017, 18, "SeanPinius_01") Worked, I still can't see why RegisterUnitEvent(90017, 28, function() return; end) didn't work. I've used RegisterUnitEvent(90017, 28, function() return; end) in another script to register a unit to most of my functions and it worked. =/
Thanks for the help.

The syntax is:

(npcid, eventid, function)

You can define a function in the hook or you can tell it to find a function name.

function () return end <-- 3 lines effectively, which basically says when the function starts stop it... -.-

If you put in the function name of the one that you want to do stuff in, then that will be the function called.

Because here:

900017, 18, "SeanPinius_01"

You are saying npcID 900017, when he spawns call the function "SeanPinius01". It will look for this function in the script and then do it.

"(90017, 28, function() return; end)"

You are saying: npcID 90017, when he spawns call a new function, that does nothing, then end. You are defining the function in the hook rather than in a separate block.
