How would i get a random victim

[Lightning Blade]

I know you can call creature:GetVictim()" is there anyway that you could get a random target in the party / raid ??

 

[Crow]

yeah, you'd load all the players in the group or raid into a container, and go off that. I myself like using a List (called via std::list) Then later when you do the spell, use a random number to pick one out and target them.


One I used to do based on distance from the creature is:

std::list<Unit*> targets;

SelectTargetList(targets, 5, SELECT_TARGET_RANDOM, 25.0f, true);

for (std::list<Unit*>::const_iterator i = targets.begin(); i != targets.end(); ++i)
DoCast(*i, SPELL);
break;

Could you help me out, " how to do that :s "

 

[Crow]

Edited my post above to show an example. Pretty straightforward.

Shiiiit, he said Lua? My bad my nigga.

I'd suppose you'd just use a Lua table then and add in players to it to use and wipe it per death?

I'll give you an example whenever I get home.

Use one of these
:GetAITarget(type[, playeronly, position, distance, aura]) - Get an unit in threat list
:GetAITargets() - Get units in threat list
:GetNearestTargetInAttackDistance([radius]) - Returns nearest target in attack distance and within given radius, if set
:GetNearestTarget([radius]) - Returns nearest target in sight or given radius
:GetNearestHostileTargetInAggroRange([checkLOS]) - Returns closest hostile target in aggro range of the creature

I suggest clicking the link or using the second method.

That isn't the wiki link, lol. This is: http://wiki.emudevs.com/doku.php?id=eluna_unit_class

Although that has an example. I'll update EmuDevs wiki with it today.

Updated it on EmuDevs wiki: http://wiki.emudevs.com/doku.php?id=eluna_unit_class_getaitarget

The link i posted contains the needed info ;p its THE link

Why weren't those moved and why is it still there ; /?

 

[Tommy]

This week I'll be updating the wiki on Eluna documentation. Also, every time I try to get someone to actually update EmuDevs wiki, they disappear. I'm just now getting to it.
