Your question is a little unclear, if this doesn't cover it, could you be a bit more specific?

I looked for a pre-made API for this, but didn't find one so this should do it.

Code:

function GetSubGroupID()

        if not UnitInRaid("PLAYER") then return

        for i = 1 , GetNumRaidMembers() do

                name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead, role, isML = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)

                if ( name == UnitName("PLAYER") ) then

                        return subgroup

                end

        end

end

The function I posted should do that. Didn't it work for you? How do you want it displayed? You could try:

/run print(GetSubGroupID())

See this page for some usefull info about lua texts: http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/lua-texts/

This, along with PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED as event might be all that is needed.

Code:

if not UnitInRaid("player") then return

local myname = UnitName('player')

for i = 1 , GetNumRaidMembers() do

        local name = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)

        if ( name == myname ) then

                return subgroup

        end

end

Does this work with pitbull 4 ? I can't find the event PARTY_MEMBER_CHANGED.

This thread was about PitBull4 to begin with. ;)

If you want to display the group number for every raid member, you can use this code:

Code:

if not UnitInRaid("PLAYER") then return end

for i = 1 , GetNumRaidMembers() do

    name, _, subgroup = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)

    if (name == Name(unit)) then

        return subgroup

    end

end

combined with the created event PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED that mrruben5 mentioned.

Code:

UpdateIn(0.25)

if not UnitInRaid("PLAYER") then return; end

    for i = 1 , GetNumRaidMembers() do

        name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead, role, isML = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)

        if ( name == UnitName("PLAYER") ) then

            return "Group " ..subgroup

        end

end

Enjoy All

I was just researching this event and was glad to find this thread.
Thanks for all the code, but the Event PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED is not showing in the selector box.
This is in PitBull -> Layout -> Texts.
I find plenty of UNIT events in the list but not the above mentioned one. The event itself is in the LuaTexts.lua file in the PitBull4_LuaText folder.

Any pointer is appreciated

You should really use the local keyword when defining variables. Otherwise you're putting crap into the global namespace with generic names like "name" and "class".

Bad:

Code:

name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead, role, isML = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)

Good:

Code:

local name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead, role, isML = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)

This limits those variables to the scope in which they are defined, which is the only place they are needed. It also causes them to be garbage-collected after they go out of scope, instead of lying around forever.

I'm not specifically familiar with PitBull4, but if there is a limited list of events you can choose from, then you will probably need to ask the PitBull4 developers to add PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED to that list, or modify the addon's code to add it to the list yourself.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but this code has ceased working due to changes in 5.x , specifically this bit:

Quote:

if not UnitInRaid("PLAYER") then return end
for i = 1 , GetNumRaidMembers() do
name, _, subgroup = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)
if (name == Name(unit)) then
return subgroup
end
end

Can any of you smart folks fix that so it works?

should be sufficient

Edit:
Ah, if there's any PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED, RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE events they should both be replaced with GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE.

The group number always says 1, even when I moved people around. I have no option for GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE , im assuming thats why its not updating. And my original code actually looked like this to display number and name (so I just updated it to say GetNumGroupMembers as you suggested):

Code:

for i = 1, GetNumGroupMembers() do

  if UnitIsUnit("raid"..i,unit) then

    local name, rank, subgroup = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)

    if name then return "%d %s", subgroup, name end

  end

end
