Awesome Script Bug

[Chiyu]

Hello,
this is my first thread here so please don't flame me for things i may do wrong , i didn't found something similar posted here.

The game contains lottery commands since some patch before BC (i think 1.11), is saw it on World of Warcraft API - WoWWiki, the Warcraft wiki.
I used one of the commands i found there and something wierd happened: it seems like i lost synchronisation with the server but didn't get a disconnect. The chat was still working.

The script:

/script BuyRandomPicks("5");

What you can do with this script:
-Explore areas or instances without fear of being killed by mobs
-Don't get dismounted at playes where you can't ride normally
-Other things i didn't find out yet leave a comment if you find more

Other uses:

http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-ex...nt-screen.html

What you cant do after typing it in:
-Use spells or items
-Attack
-Your moving is client-side only
-No new mobs spawn if you walk deeper into an instance or an area

After you type it in, your moving will be client-side only. You will get a disconnect after 10 minutes or so, and after this disconnect you will be where you typed in the script again.

I swear it found it out myself, hope you like it

If you believe Knorrsuppe (see page 4), this can be used for duping!


Edit: Added link to wowwiki.com

Edit 2: It seems as if the other lottery commands would have no function, the only thing that i noticed is that if you type

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetPastDrawResult(1));

you'll get returned zero, but in an black-colored default chat frame, but i don't know why it is black.

Possible rollback?

Testing this now.

Confirmed! +rep!

Now we gotta find a way to cancel the effect after weve gotten where were going.

[Haq]

That's what I was trying to figure out. After hitting the command I could move, watch people duel/talk and move, but anything I did wasn't acknowledged. After about 8 minutes I got booted. Logged back in and I was right where I was when I typed in the command.

Next I'm going to try to 'dupe' something using this method.

I tried this, logged out, and try to log back in, and it says Character with this name already exists, then it kicks me out

[Chiyu]

yeah, you have to wait until the server kicks you off or you won't be able to log in again for some minutes.

[Tankotron]

O.. phew, i was getting worried there for a min

[pimp951231]

I type it and it work so it is confirmed. but u cant exit out. i hit ALT+F4 and exit but it says i cant login. wat i did was log in another character then log back in my main.

[bladesoul]

wow if u guys find a dupe i would love u guys FOREVER. i neeed my epic FLYING NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW lolwell +rep

[Direhit]

Nice, thanks.

It seems simple, because if you buy something using the script and you get kicked, you end up at the place where you did the script, but would it take away the item that you bought? Or better yet, if you did the script, and bought something from someone via trade, it would roll you back to the amournt of gold you had before, but not the other person.

You might just be on to something...
(posting in what might be a legendary thread ^^)

You can't trade while doing the script, but if you do the trade, accept, then do the script, and let him accept.. I wonder what would happen

that was exactly what i've tried, both sides of the trading window were green for my mate but nothing did happen 'till i got disconnected, then the window closed for him and the trade aborted. i didn't get the item from him and i just kept the silver i was trading.

[Tankotron]

Eh, then the only way that duping would work is if you have perfect timing or something
