Headless Horseman Script Help

[Xmaily]

Hey there ownedcore, I'm trying to figure out 3 things that I have no idea how to do. First off I'm only asking here because i don't know the name of what i'm trying to do so i can't read articles for myself. I'm trying to script the headless horseman and the script is exactly blizzlike but there is a few things I don't know how to do.

1) How can i make him get to 1HP without dying. (when he hits 1 hp he stops taking damage and won't die: Is it a command in a script?)
2) How to make the Unattackable NPC attackable. (Red unatackable: Changing flags some how?)
3) How to talk to the pumpkin gameobject to start the event (Right now I have it as a quest and when you pick it up the event starts)

These are the three things! I would love if someone could respond with helpful information!!! Please and Thank You.

You need to create a new flag to handle this. I did it like so:

enum CustomFlags
{
	CREATURE_CUSTOMFLAG_CANTDIE = 0x1,						// 1
...
};

		bool CantDie()
		{
			return HasCustomFlag(CREATURE_CUSTOMFLAG_CANTDIE);
		}

	if(pVictim->GetHealth() <= damage)
	{
		if(pVictim->isTrainingDummy() || pVictim->IsCreature() && TO_CREATURE(pVictim)->CantDie())
		{
			pVictim->SetHealth(1);
			return;
		}

You get the gist.

2) How to make the Unattackable NPC attackable. (Red unatackable: Changing flags some how?)

UNIT_FIELD_FLAGS set to 2.

3) How to talk to the pumpkin gameobject to start the event (Right now I have it as a quest and when you pick it up the event starts)

A normal gossip script? Look at how existing scripts do this.

No I can't give you a detailed tutorial on this nor do it for you.

Thanks for the reply Stoneharry but I only know LuA so I'm still confused on the can't die part. However for the Unattackable NPC that worked thanks for the help. Also spent a good 30 mins and fixed the game object starting the event. Only thing I'm stuck on now is the can't die!!! Thanks again for the reply

He means you should just add an additional condition whenever the npc takes damage, if the npc is invincible. If he is (supposed to be) invincible, and some incoming damage is higher than current health, set the health of the thing to 1 and just continue.
