What can do you? (e.g - Your knowledge via Lua/Eluna, etc)

 

[shotsofdeath98]

easy-complex bosses, gossip npc w/ casino games, teleporter, xmog (Rotche2's but modifyed), enchanter, commands, things like that....
im just looking for something new to do.

You could try doing a mercenary system, where players can hire NPC's to fight with them for a set amount of time

Eluna Addon! ... to make ingame Lua scripting possible..would be an amazing thing..u could script a mini-boss ingame..with the add on..
How about that for an idea?

What?

i think he means a wow addon that you can use to make lua scripts with. like trinity admin can spawn npcs
maybe he means a lua editor in wow but make it add the files to eluna folder and reload eluna for testing the scripts?

Would require client - server communication through the addon.
Actually there was an old project called Gate, which had most of this done.
Basically you were able to create frames in Lua serverside and send these to the client, I tried doing something like a Luapad but the frames were buggy and to limited.
Never got around to trying it again.

I know this post might be kinda useless but a suggestion could be to look up "Kenuvis' Gate Project".

i actually seen a few addons for making lua scripts but that was a few days ago so i forget where i seen them.
im sure you can find them somewhere. hope tommy and or faded can find them and make a tools section
in the eluna forum/section i know they exist but lost the site i found them. i think it was on curse but cant be too sure

An event command?
–.rew:
Give token, send a message to all the server with –> winner name, count of token and GM name.
Same with .Rew2 and .Rew3
– Command cooldown (like Just can use the command every 4 hours after used) (i dont know if it is possibel)

I was tried to do it but my knowledge is not enough and i just can do the command and message (also i create a table on World where log GM guid, token count and player guid)

No no no this is rong get back to my ideea or old ppl idea...and make a ingame lua scripting addon for admins would be great to be able to script anything in game...
And way not? let's put it like this...all the addon needs to do is write in a notepad...that would be generally comunicating with the wow emulator..(that's easy! if the script ure tiping is directlly saved in the emulator lua script folder.)
Well no wen u push test...all the addon needs to do is reload elluna and maybe freeze unfreeze the mob(boss etc)
It's not hard is just time consuming and needs to be an active project...that would require further development as eluna evolves...
Sorry school killed all my free time

Began on this recently, but I am coming to short when creating the addon. The WoW addon studio seem to be buggy if not completely redundant.
Might need to do the addon in notepad...

just a warning but I have found that reloading eluna in game causes havoc with tables generated when players log on . causing tables to be nil so I added to the lua the ability to reload a table that normally loads on login. just a heads up.

 

[Rochet2]

Reloading should be used for testing, not in the middle of server running.
Otherwise there will be problems when for example when all tables will be erased and they wont exist as mentioned above and scripts are reset, so if you have some event on spawn for example, the script wont run properly as the creature already was spawned.
Creaatures in combat with scripts and phases and spellcasting in on enter combat will not have triggered since the events will be reset.
This means if someone was battling a boss and you reload, the boss no longer casts spells etc.

So be wary of what you are doing
