Hello people, i am learning how to make some .lua Scripts, here is some

-== How to make a Npc Cast a spell ==-

Ok first here is a Template to use for it \/

Everything in red u need to change
How to use template look below

function NpcName_Event (pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:CastSpell (Spell ID)
end  
RegisterUnitEvent (Npc Spawn ID, 1, "NpcName_Event")

Step 1 : All the things in red is the things u need to put in your self

Step 2 : Open a note Pad or Txt Document and Copy and Paste that Template into it and then start modifying it with Steps below

Step 3 : function NpcName_Event (pUnit, Event) = The Name of your Npc

Step 4 : function NpcName_Event (pUnit, Event) = The event, meaning like the name of the spell Etc

Step 5 : pUnit:CastSpell (Spell ID) = The Id of the Spell that you wont your Npc To cast

Step 6 : RegisterUnitEvent (Npc Spawn ID, 4, "NpcName_Event") = The Spawn ID of your Npc that you wont to cast the Spell

Step 7 : RegisterUnitEvent (Npc Spawn ID, 4, "NpcName_Event") = The same ass "Step 3" and "Step 4"

Now when your done Modifying it go to File > Save as > and put it as all Files and call it like (If you are doing it for a mob called Slayer i would call it Slayer.lua) So like in "Step 3" The Name of your Npc just name it That and put a .lua at the end of it so it will be like " Slayer.lua "
