[SOLVED] Spell Cost no power for npc (lua)

Tok124 · May 23, 2015

Hello, I want to know if its possible to make spells cost no power for npc. The reason why i want to know is because i wanna make a Druid Boss and before i only changed display to cat form/moonkin form but now i changed the script so it changes to the actuall forms. Because some spells is only useable in cat form and the npc cannot use the spells because even if i add mana to the creature when he goes in to cat form he lose all mana and he have no energy so he cannot go back to moonkin because he have no mana and he can't use cat form ability's because he have no energy. So i want to know if its possible to make the spells cost no power like (mana, rage, energy) or if it's possible to give the creature energy or rage with some lua command.

This should point you in the right direction http://eluna.emudevs.com/Unit/CastSpell.html
Basically, that last parameter will allow your spell to be cast regardless of resources or cast time.

you could also just set the npc's power level and type.
unit:SetPower() --> http://eluna.emudevs.com/Unit/SetPower.html
unit:SetPowerType() --> http://eluna.emudevs.com/Unit/SetPowerType.html

Thanks. Didnt know that was usable for creature. I thought you had to use creature methods for creature. I thought unit was for players only

slp13at420 · May 23, 2015

unit methods are
universal for both characters, objects, npc's .:stoned:

If you look at RegisterFunctions code in LuaFunctions.cpp, you can view methods that are being set to classes.

Okey. Thanks for help guys ! However, The unit method did not work for me atleast.

I did add

unit:SetPower(3, 10000)

That should be setting energy to 10000 right? But for me it doesnt do it

slp13at420 · May 24, 2015

did you define unit as the npc?

if you defined the creature as creature then it should be creature:SetPower(3, 10000)

3 for energy-power and 10000 would be how much to set it to.

Tok124 · May 24, 2015

Thanks slp. Problem is solved now. However, The npc wont switch to boomkin form from cat form. I dont know why really

slp13at420 · May 24, 2015

hold on Im testing something I think its placed wrong

slp13at420 · May 24, 2015

ok my idea I think may be right , it has to update the power AFTER it changes form:

Code:

local npcid = 1000001;
local Testboss = {};
local phase1 = 80;
local phase2 = 60;
local phase3 = 50;
local phase4 = 30;
local phase5 = 15;

local function CastIfCan(caster, target, spell)
    if (caster and target and not caster:GetCurrentSpell(1)) then
        caster:CastSpell(target, spell)
        return true
    end
    return false
end
------------------------------------------------------------------
local function SetPower(event, duration, cycles, creature)
	creature:SetMaxPower(3, 10000)
	creature:SetPower(3, 10000)

RegisterCreatureEvent(npcid, 1, Testboss.EnterCombat)
RegisterCreatureEvent(npcid, 2, Testboss.LeaveCombat)
RegisterCreatureEvent(npcid, 3, Testboss.KilledTarget)
RegisterCreatureEvent(npcid, 4, Testboss.Died)

change `npcid` to your npc id
I added a function that does the updateing then just added another timed event that is delayed to the change form event in the entering combat function.
you may have to call the SetPower function after every form change.

the problem with changing form was within the spell id's:

updated - it changes to cat, then moonkin, then tree

its not perfect lol you may choose other form spells.
remember to set npcid to your npc id.
