    if(pPlayer:IsInCombat() == true) then
    pUnit:SendChatMessageToPlayer(12, 0, "You can't use this while in combat!!", pPlayer)
    elseif(pPlayer:IsFriendly(pUnit) == true) then
    pUnit:GossipCreateMenu(100, pPlayer, 0)
    pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(1, "t1", 1, 0)
    pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "t2", 2, 0)
    pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(3, "t3", 3, 0)
    pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(4, "t4", 4, 0)
    pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(5, "t5", 5, 0)
    pUnit:GossipSendMenu(pPlayer)
    end
end

--[[ Beginning of menu END END ]]--
 
--[[ Beginning of menu Select ..
When the user selects one of the above in the menu..
t1, t2, t3 etc.. We check it here:
Please note I did not cover all intids only 3. ]]--

function OnSelect(pUnit, event, pPlayer, id, intid, code)
        pPlayer:GossipComplete() -- since we want it to close ALWAYS we put it before the ifs
    if(intid == 1) then
        pUnit:SendChatMessageToPlayer(12, 0, "You clicked t1!", pPlayer)
        pPlayer:PlayerSendChatMessage(1, 0, "I clicked t1!")
    elseif(intid == 2) then
        pUnit:SendChatMessageToPlayer(12, 0, "You clicked t2!", pPlayer)
        pPlayer:PlayerSendChatMessage(1, 0, "I clicked t2!")
    elseif(intid == 3) then
        pUnit:SendChatMessageToPlayer(12, 0, "You clicked t3!", pPlayer)
        pPlayer:PlayerSendChatMessage(1, 0, "I clicked t3!")
    end
end

Please note with caution:
The following code will reset your talents when the gossip is ended!

function GossipOnEnd(pUnit, event)
     pPlayer:GossipMiscAction(9, pUnit)
     pPlayer:SendBroadcastMessage("Your talents have been reset.")
end

And now to register the events:

RegisterUnitGossipEvent(NPC-ID, 1, "OnGossip")    -- will register the first function
RegisterUnitGossipEvent(NPC-ID, 2, "OnSelect")    -- will register the second function
RegisterUnitGossipEvent(NPC-ID, 3, "GossipOnEnd") -- will register the second function

You must change NPC-ID with the id of your npc that you will want to register this script on.
