 These functions can be called both on Units and Gameobjects. However it is self-evident to which can only be called on Units. (I don't think you will ask a Gameobject for Mana :P)

.:OTHERS:.


______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 
:SendChatMessage(type,language,message) -- Type is the chat type e.g. Say,Yell,RaidWarning, chat.h has a list of them; language is pretty obvious.
Usage:
function SayThis(Unit,event)
local plr = Unit:GetMainTank()
if plr ~= nil then
Unit:SendChatMessage(14(yell),0(Universal lang),plr:GetName()..", you cannot resist me!")
end
end

:MoveTo(x,y,z,o) -- pretty self explainatory. Use .gps while ingame to retrieve coords, O is just orientation.
Usage:
function MoveTo(Unit,event)
Unit:MoveTo(Unit:GetSpawnX(),Unit:GetSpawnY(),Unit:GetSpawnZ(),Unit:GetSpawnO()) -- makes the unit move to its spawn points.
end

:CastSpell(spellid) -- Just fill in the spell id which you want to the current unit to cast. This will cast the spell on caller of this function and ignore cast time.
Usage:
function CastSpell(Unit,event)
Unit:CastSpell(5) -- death touch xd
end

:CastSpellOnTarget(spellid,target) -- first argument is spellid just like above, 2nd is target, there is a bug w/ this function that it causes it not to cast on the target.
Use FullCastSpellOnTarget(spellid,target) if you want to cast on a target.
:FullCastSpell(spellid) -- This does the same as castspell except with casttime.
:FullCastSpellOnTarget -- Fully casts the spell with cast time but on a target(if target is the unit, just use castspell or fullcastspell)
:SpawnGameObject(entry_id,x,y,z,duration)-- spawns a gameobject from the entry id given at the location vector given
Usage:
Unit:SpawnGameObject(166434(random no.),Unit:GetX(),Unit:GetY(),Unit:GetZ(),0(0 duration to make the go not despawn. Add duration in milisecs to make it despawn after x seconds))

:SpawnCreature(entryid,x,y,z,faction,duration) -- Unlike spawngameobject, creatures use factions. This decides whether they are friendly/hated towards the player and other stuff like if you kill it what rep u get.
Usage:
Unit:SpawnCreature(randomnumberhere,Unit:GetX(),Unit:GetY(),Unit:GetZ(),14,5000(despawn after 5 secs))

:RegisterEvent(string,delay,repeats) -- registers a function to call on the unit, note that only creatures can use this, not gameobjects.
Usage:
Unit:RegisterEvent("KillYou",5000, 1)
whereas
function KillYou(Unit,event)
Unit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(5,Unit:GetRandomPlayer(0))
end

:RemoveEvents() -- this has no arguments and removes all registered functions.
Usage:
function OnCreatureDied(Unit,event)
Unit:RemoveEvents()-- when the creature is dead, remove all functions so it doesn't do anything.
end

:SendBroadcastMessage(string) -- this is a player only command. The player who called it, displays a message that you typed in there
Usage:
function Error(Unit,event)
local tank = Unit:GetMainTank()
tank:SendBroadCastMessage("You are now tanking "..Unit:GetName())
end

:SendAreaTriggerMessage(stringfunc) - This sends a message across the top center of your screen. Similar like a raid warning message.
:KnockBack() -- neither this.
:MarkQuestObjectiveAsComplete(questid,objective) -- Never used this.
:LearnSpell(spellid) -- This is a player only command, it teaches the player unit that it is called on the spellid

local plr = Unit:GetClosestPlayer()
plr:LearnSpell(5) -- learn death touch xd

:UnlearnSpell(spellid) -- This just removes a spell already known from the player.
Usage
local plr = Unit:GetClosestPlayer()
plr:UnlearnSpell(5) -- noooes gief death touch!!

:HasFinishedQuest(questid)-- this is a boolean like others to come. It checks whether the player has finished the quest provided w/ the id, if not, it pushes false.
Usage:
local plr = Unit:GetClosestPlayer()
if plr:HasFinishedQuest(questid) == true then
do this if the player has completed the quest
end

:ClearThreatList() -- this maybe confused to wipethreatlist. What it does is set all threat levels to 1, This means the creature will still aggro, but aggro can be easily taken away.
:ChangeTarget(target) -- This causes the Unit to change the target, it is basically SetNextTarget(target).
:Emote(emoteid) -- Use this to get the unit to do a certain emote. // In Untested Branch you can give a secind argument for delay in milliseconds: Unit:Emote(18,5000) --Kneel down in 5 Seconds
:Despawn(delay,respawn)-- Note this is a creature only one, if you filled the first blank, it will delay the alloted time filled before despawning, if you filled second, it will respawn the unit after the alloted time.

:CreateWaypoint(x,y,z,waittime,moveflags,displayid) -- x,y,z are the coords, waittime is the delay for it to not move,moveflags are either 0 for walk, 256 for run, or 768 for fly, displayid is how you want the waypoints to look like(Like mini models).
:DestroyCustomWaypointMap() -- use it to destroy all waypoints that the unit has. Only works for creatures.
:MoveToWaypoint(waypointid) -- When you create ur first waypoint, they are numberd in order start from 1. 0 and 1 do the same thing. Use it to make a unit move to various waypoints.
:TeleportUnit(mapid,x,y,z) -- This teleport's a PLAYER only unit to the location specified.
:ClearHateList() -- this is a duplicate of ClearThreatList(). They do the same thing.
:WipeHateList() -- This removes ALL Threat off the mob, this will cause the mob to leavecombat and return to spawn.

:RemoveThreatByPtr(target) -- Removes all threat if any, on the current target specified
:EventCastSpell(target,sp,delay,repeats) -- this casts a spell over and over on the target specified, delay is amount to wait before recasting, repeats is how many times.
:AttackReaction(target,dmg,spell) -- This creates fake threat towards the unit specified
Usage:
local plr = Unit:GetRandomPlayer(0)
Unit:AttackReaction(plr, 1, 0) -- If the unit doesn't have any aggro, it will now aggro this player.

:Root() -- this unlike stopmovement(), disables all movement.
