Iron Chef

Version: 1.1

by: Wikwocket [More]

== IronChef 1.1 ==
by Wikwocket (wikwocket@gmail.com)

Note: This AddOn is not currently being updated. It should still work overall (probably until Cataclysm changes a lot of things). Unfortunately I have not been playing WoW as regularly and I do not have the time to update my AddOns. If you have any questions, please email me at wikwocket@gmail.com.

This AddOn equips your Chef's Hat when you open your cooking window. Wearing the Chef's Hat now speeds up your cooking, so this mod will help you wear the appropriate attire when you enter Kitchen Stadium!

When you open your Cooking window, Iron Chef will help by:
* Equipping your Chef's Hat if found (and turning on helm display)
* Changing your title to "Chef" if you are a Chef

When you close the Cooking window, it will restore your hat and title to their pre-cooking values.

Iron Chef will only work properly out of combat, since it has to equip your Chef's Hat. If you're cooking in combat, let's just say you have some bigger fish to fry.

A la cuisine!

I hope you find this mod useful. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Since i'm proud to be a dwarf with the chefs title i also like to boast about it. So, my question is, does anybody know how you can get those fantastic messages you see when you equip your hat to show in /say instead of just a message to me? Would be awsome if it was possible. Kind regards Last edited by nightportier : 11-15-10 at 01:53 AM.

Diftraku Mooooooo! Forum posts: 0 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	I'm more than happy to report that yes, this addon still works, even after being almost obliterated by the Cataclysm (read: 4.0.1 caused no problem what-so-ever regarding the addon). Installed the addon, opened my Cooking profession and both title and hat equipped, ready to whip up some delicious goodies for the hungry raiders. __________________ "I remembered I'm not a Satanist.

Thank you to everyone who reads or posts in these comments threads, especially to those who have submitted feature ideas and bug fixes. You're the reason the WoW community is so great!

Constructive Criticism

I was hoping to find an addon to equip my chef's hat while cooking since I can never remember to do it myself. I also noticed from the Change Log that you were looking for efficiency, so I thought I'd help you out somewhat. Given your level of experience from reviewing your coding practices I'm assuming that you may have missed some API and syntax practice which make life much easier. Please don't take this post the wrong way, I do not mean to offend. I do, however, want to see other authors using good code practices. =)

Code:

local function HaveItem(name)
	-- check bags (doesn't check bank or keyring)
	for i = NUM_BAG_FRAMES, 0, -1 do
		for j = GetContainerNumSlots(i), 1, -1 do
			if (GetItemInfo(GetContainerItemLink(i, j) or "") == name) then 
				return true;
			end
		end
	end
	return false;
end

This code would be useful in the absence of GetItemCount. You would still need to check if GetItemCount(46349) > 0 due to lua not equating 0 to nil or false.

Code:

function IronChefFrame.TRADE_SKILL_SHOW()
	-- validate:
	if (GetTradeSkillLine() ~= "Cooking") then return; end -- skill other than cooking
	if IsTradeSkillLinked() then return; end -- someone else's tradeskill
	
	-- if have a Chef's Hat, equip it and prepare for cooking
	if (HaveItem(GetItemInfo(46349))) then
		-- remember old hat info
		oldHatLink = GetInventoryItemLink("player", GetInventorySlotInfo("HeadSlot"));
		if (not oldHatLink) then oldHatLink = ""; end -- no old hat found, assume wearing nothing up top!
		-- if ALREADY wearing Chef's Hat, how stylish! Who are we to question your fashion sense? Exit for now.
		if (GetItemInfo(oldHatLink) == GetItemInfo(46349)) then
			oldHatLink = nil;
			return;
		end
		-- equip toque!
		ClearCursor(); -- ensure cursor is clear
		EquipItemByName(46349);
		ClearCursor(); -- ensure cursor is clear
		-- show it off!
		oldShowHat = ShowingHelm();
		ShowHelm(true);
		-- show "Chef" title!
		if (IsTitleKnown(52)) then
			oldTitle = GetCurrentTitle();
			SetCurrentTitle(52);
		end
		-- let's cook!
		local _, chefsHatLink = GetItemInfo(46349)
		print(chefsHatLink .. " equipped! " .. letsCook[math.random(table.getn(letsCook))]);
		--SendChatMessage(letsCook[math.random(table.getn(letsCook))], "SAY");
	else
		-- no Chef's Hat, how sad! (or already equipped)
		oldHatLink = nil;
	end
end

You could combine the logic and nil checks to form a single if statement which saves a small amount of memory and processing time. Something along the lines of:

Code:

If not IsTradeSkillLinked() and GetTradeSkillLine() == "Cooking" then

You could also replace HaveItem with the aforementioned GetItemCount. Since the numeric slot ID of "HeadSlot" is always 1, you can replace:

Code:

 GetInventoryItemLink("player", GetInventorySlotInfo("HeadSlot"))

with:

Code:

 GetInventoryItemLink("player", 1)

Also:

Code:

if (not oldHatLink) then oldHatLink = ""

This changes oldHatLink to a string if it's nil, which is not needed. In lua, you can nil check variables simply by doing:

Code:

if Variable then -- works if 'Variable' is not nil or false

if not Variable then -- works if 'Variable' is nil or false

Also, you do not have to clear the cursor. I don't think anyone will have an item on their cursor when they open a tradeskill window since it clears the cursor itself to click it =). If you're having issues such as that, it may be due to the changes of EquipItemByName. In 3.3, if you're in combat, it sends the item information to the cursor rather than equipping it. This can be remedied by querying InCombatLockdown.

Code:

if not InCombatLockdown() then -- ClearCursor() no longer needed!

This should be enough information to cover everything. I don't think I missed any other issues. Lastly, here is an example of only equipping or unequipping the chef's hat:

Code:

local AddOn = CreateFrame("Frame")
local Cache

AddOn:RegisterEvent("TRADE_SKILL_SHOW")
AddOn:RegisterEvent("TRADE_SKILL_CLOSE")
AddOn:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, Event)
	if Event == "TRADE_SKILL_SHOW" and not InCombatLockdown() and not IsTradeSkillLinked() and GetTradeSkillLine() == "Cooking" and GetItemCount(46349) > 0 then
		Cache = GetInventoryItemLink("player", 1)
		EquipItemByName(46349)
	elseif Event == "TRADE_SKILL_CLOSE" and Cache and not InCombatLockdown() then
		EquipItemByName(Cache)
		Cache = nil
	end
end)
-- Note, this keeps the Chef's Hat equipped if you had nothing in your head
-- slot to begin with.

That is rather odd. Are you saying you have the Chef title, but the mod does not display it, and instead displays no title while cooking? If so, can you verify this by turning on display of your own character name and title and then trying it? Thanks!

It removes my title, then reinstates it after I close my skill window. Not a big deal - the mod does what I need it to do - but tossing up the Chef title would also be nice.

Re: Title not working :(

I don't have a hat, I only want to switch titles like this mod says it will .. but it doesn't seem to be working. Help?

Right now the mod only tries to swap titles if you also have a hat. I can make it swap titles even if you don't though; I'll add this to the to-do list.

At any rate, if you or pquayle can post and let me know which mod does that, I can add a check to Iron Chef so that it does not swap your Chef's Hat in when that mod opens the tradeskill window.

Yes that might ve the case cause im using altaholic as well!
Ill switch off and try it to see if the error persists

I'll look into it. However bear in mind this is a very lightweight addon as it is (2 kb). There are basically 2 functions, one that runs when you open a tradeskill (which immediately bails out if it's not cooking or you don't have a Chef's Hat), and one that runs when you close a tradeskill.

In adding such a check, I would have to be careful not to add more memory usage than I am saving!
