[Help][Lua] Npc Targeting Another Npc

[Zudrik]

How is this possible. I've tried so many damn commands to do this, but all I can come u with is either, nothing happens or the spell gets casted on itsself.

I've tried using a :GetRandomFriend() (When I had them standing close)

Tried using a :GetName() == Svala then

It seems like all the commands are only for targeting players.

If anyone can shed some light on this issue, I owuld greatly appreciate it.

[Vindicated]

I would use a combination of GetRandomFriend & GetName to ensure it is selecting the correct NPC. (Idk if you have tried them together or separate)

[Zudrik]

It's just like it won't target another NPC. But it worked fine for targeting a player.

I've also tried using something like

local clonpc = pUnit:GetCreatureNearestCoords(295.95991, -356.325989, 90.948097, 29281)
if clonpc ~= nil then
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(54142, clonpc)
end

I don't know if that would be like the right setup, but within this one, he just casts it on himself.

*sigh* It is really easy to do.

See if you can understand this.
Basically he defines pUnit as Foe, then for the other npc it casts spell then Foe, for example "pUnit:CastSpell(11, Foe) like you would do for if you got a player.

[Zudrik]

Tried it like that, no luck.

Have it setup like this.

function Svala_Aggro(pUnit, Event)
	Friend=pUnit;
	pUnit:SetCombatCapable(1)
	pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(13856)
	pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "My liege! I have done as you asked, and now beseech you for your blessing!")
	pUnit:RegisterEvent("ImageLichKing_Spawn", 7000, 1)
	pUnit:RegisterEvent("Svala_Changing", 20000, 0)
	end

And the other like this

function ImageLichKing_Cast(Unit, Event)
	Unit:RemoveEvents()
	Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(54142, Friend)
	Unit:RegisterEvent("ImageLichKing_Order", 19000, 0)
	end

=\

[stoneharry]

I think it's the spell your trying to use. Test with id 11 instead of "Arthas Transforming Svala" (54142)

[Zudrik]

Meh, yeah it works. I guess I can't have that little cinematic event between them then.
