Slash Commands

I'm trying to make a mode, simple to give me some more slash commands. I've created the .toc and a .lua file as per what I've seen in other mods.

The .lua file just contains the following

Code:

SLASH_TOGGLEHELM = "/toggleHelm"

SLASH_TOGGLECLOAK = "/toggleCloak"



SlashCmdList["toggleHelm"] = toggleHelm()

SlashCmdList["toggleCloak"] = toggleCloak()



function toggleHelm()

    ShowHelm(not ShowingHelm())

end



function toggleCloak()

    ShowCloak(not ShowingCloak())

end

But for some reason WoW doesn't recognise these commands. What am I doing wrong? From what I've seen at wowwiki.com this should just work.

Code:

SlashCmdList["toggleHelm"] = toggleHelm()

SlashCmdList["toggleCloak"] = toggleCloak()

Becomes

Code:

SlashCmdList["TOGGLEHELM"] = toggleHelm

SlashCmdList["TOGGLECLOAK"] = toggleCloak

Don't you have to use caps in the line

Code:

SlashCmdList["BLAH"] = whatever()

You could try this block of code;

Code:

TOGGLE_HELM1 = "/togglehelm"

SlashCmdList["TOGGLE_HELM"] = function()

    ShowHelm(not ShowingHelm())

end

TOGGLE_CLOAK1 = "/togglecloak"

SlashCmdList["TOGGLE_CLOAK"] = function()

    ShowCloak(not ShowingCloak())

end

Not sure if they'll work, as I am super tired, and they are dry coded.

EDIT : See above post, it's more right.

This is the entire lua file. But this doesn't work. It doesn't seem to recognise the / commands at all.

Code:

SLASH_TOGGLEHELM = "/toggleHelm"

SLASH_TOGGLECLOAK = "/toggleCloak"



SlashCmdList["TOGGLEHELM"] = toggleHelm

SlashCmdList["TOGGLECLOAK"] = toggleCloak



function toggleHelm()

    ShowHelm(not ShowingHelm())

end



function toggleCloak()

    ShowCloak(not ShowingCloak())

end

Code:

SLASH_TOGGLEHELM1 = "/toggleHelm"

SLASH_TOGGLECLOAK1 = "/toggleCloak"

I think, the 1's are important.
Also you should move your function-definitions at the top of the file, because at the moment where you use them in SlashCmdList they are "nil" / not defined.

They're global functions so it wont make a difference.

Yes it will; since the reference will be nil when the code runs, it doesn't matter how they're defined later. You're thinking of a slightly different compile-time error; but in this case the code is top-level and those lines will actually *run* while the function names are still nil references.

However, it would be better if they were not global anyway:

Code:

local function toggleHelm()

    ShowHelm(not ShowingHelm())

end



local function toggleCloak()

    ShowCloak(not ShowingCloak())

end





SLASH_TOGGLEHELM1 = "/toggleHelm"

SLASH_TOGGLECLOAK1 = "/toggleCloak"



SlashCmdList["TOGGLEHELM"] = toggleHelm

SlashCmdList["TOGGLECLOAK"] = toggleCloak
