[QUESTION]script for creature like scourge skydarkener

[MR. Farrare]

is there a way to make a creature script like the script in scourge sky darkener in dk quest line that shoot an invisble target far away srry for my english :lol:

[stoneharry]

Yes. There is a invisible display ID - spawn a creature with that, give it the untargetable flags on the bitmask, and then have your npc cast a spell on it.

i know and i did that but i want the npc to shoot far far far out of range npc and out of aggro too like the sky darkener he shooot the sky darkener target even if it out off aggro range and thx for the reply mate

You can cast at GPS coordinates of unlimited range, if you send the necessary packets.

A code snippet for a command I added:

Code: [Select]

bool ChatHandler::HandleCastAOECommand(const char *args, WorldSession *m_session)
{
Unit *u = getSelectedUnit(m_session, false);
if(!u)
u = m_session->GetPlayer();
uint32 spell = 0;
uint32 triggered = 0;
float x,y,z = 0.0f;
if( sscanf(args, "%u %f %f %f %u", &spell, &x, &y, &z, &triggered) != 5)
if(sscanf(args, "%u %u", &spell, &triggered) != 2)
return false;
if(x == y)
{
if(u = getSelectedUnit(m_session, false))
{
x = u->GetPositionX();
y = u->GetPositionY();
z = u->GetPositionZ();
}
else
return false;
}
SpellEntry* sp = dbcSpell.LookupEntryForced(spell);
if(!sp)
{
SystemMessage(m_session, "Invalid spell %u", spell);
return true;
}
m_session->GetPlayer()->CastSpellAoF(x,y,z ,sp, triggered >= 1 ? true : false);
BlueSystemMessage(m_session, "Casted aoe spell %u.", spell, GetSelectedUnitName(u));
sGMLog.writefromsession(m_session, "Casted aoe spell %u.", spell, GetSelectedUnitName(u));
return true;
}

Then the primary function we are relying on:

Code: [Select]

void Unit::CastSpellAoF(float x, float y, float z, SpellEntry* Sp, bool triggered)
{
if(Sp == NULL)
return;

SpellCastTargets targets;
targets.m_destX = x;
targets.m_destY = y;
targets.m_destZ = z;
targets.m_targetMask = TARGET_FLAG_DEST_LOCATION;
Spell* newSpell = sSpellFactoryMgr.NewSpell(this, Sp, triggered, 0);
newSpell->prepare(&targets);
}
Using this I can cast spell ID 11 onto any coordinate position basically, for example.

:? man im new at this i only colored some npc and did a new land but im not good in server dev i see its no sql and i use a repack a mangos one so can you help me plz

First stop using repacks. They limit ALOT your customization and bug fixing.
I recommend you moving to Trinity since mangos community is almost dead. If you want Lua coding for serverside scripts you can install Eluna (don´t go for Arcemu unless you have alot of spare time and a big dev team which can fix it)
Heare you have a Trinity compiling guide http://collab.kpsn.org/display/tc/How-to_Win
And an Eluna installation guide

[MR. Farrare]

i did it the compile now im comming eluna :twisted:

i did every thing compiled trinity and eluna but how to create this lua code and put it in game

[osler]

Create a folder named "scripts" where your .exe´s hve been created. Then create a .lua file there and it will be ingame. In order to make Eluna read it without restarting world server you must type ingame ".reload eluna"

Create a folder called scripts in the folder where the binaries (world and auth) and place the scripts there
