Raid invite macro

Hello!

"All max level character will be invited to raid in 10 sec. Please leave your groups."

I'm looking for a script to be able to to do mass invites for guildies similar to DBM's mass invite above, but with another guild chat warning text and other level range.

Fore example "For the X event discussed on the forum, all players between level 70 and 80 will be invite in 10 sec." -> then the script invites all guildies in that level range in 10 sec.

Is that possible to do with a script? I really dont want to install justanoherusefuladdon since I got plenty already.

Thanks!

I feel like the script required would be too large to fit into just one macro. I would just look for an auto-invite addon of some sort.

I've found AutoInvite by Martag. The only thing is this one invites by whispering a keyword, such as "inv" or "invite."

Something like this?

/rinv All max level character will be invited to raid in 10 sec. Please leave your groups.

Code:

local delay = 0



local function OnUpdate(self, elapsed)

        delay = delay + elapsed

        if delay > 10 then

                for i = 1, GetNumGuildMembers() do

                        local name, _, _, level, _, _, _, _, online = GetGuildRosterInfo(i)

                        if online and (level >= 70 and level <= 80) then

                                InviteUnit(name)

                        end

                end

                delay = 0

                self:SetScript("OnUpdate", nil)

        end

end



local f = CreateFrame("Frame")



SLASH_RAIDINVITE1 = "/rinv"

SLASH_RAIDINVITE2 = "/raidinvite"



SlashCmdList["RAIDINVITE"] = function(msg, editbox)

        SendChatMessage(msg, "GUILD")

        f:SetScript("OnUpdate", OnUpdate)

end

or with AceTimer, provided you have Ace3 loaded/embeded. The message has a limited length though

Code:

/run SendChatMessage("Hello World!","GUILD")LibStub("AceTimer-3.0"):ScheduleTimer(function()for i=1,GetNumGuildMembers()do local a,_,_,b,_,_,_,_,c=GetGuildRosterInfo(i)if c and(b>=70 and b<=80)then InviteUnit(a)end end end,10)

-- Neither of those 2 example scripts cope with changing from a party to a raid though :(

This modification of Ketho's code should handle party-to-raid conversions. If you're already in a party when the mass invites go out, it will convert the party to a raid. If you're not in a party yet, it will wait until someone accepts the invite, and then convert the party to a raid.

I also added the ability to configure the delay time in the slash command:

Code:

/rinv 15 Raid invites coming in 15 seconds!

If you don't specify a number, it will default to 10 seconds.

Code:

local WAIT_TIME = 10



local f = CreateFrame("Frame")

f:Hide()



f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event)

        if GetNumRaidMembers() > 0 then

                self:UnregisterAllEvents()

        elseif GetNumPartyMembers() > 0 then

                ConvertToRaid()

        end

end)



local delay = 0

f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, elapsed)

        delay = delay + elapsed

        if delay < WAIT_TIME then

                return

        end



        if GetNumRaidMembers() == 0 then

                self:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")

                if GetNumPartyMembers() == 0 then

                        self:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")

                else

                        ConvertToRaid()

                end

        end



        for i = 1, GetNumGuildMembers() do

                local name, _, _, level, _, _, _, _, online = GetGuildRosterInfo(i)

                if online and (level >= 70 and level <= 80) then

                        InviteUnit(name)

                end

        end

        delay = 0

        self:Hide()

end



SLASH_RAIDINVITE1 = "/rinv"

SLASH_RAIDINVITE2 = "/raidinvite"



SlashCmdList["RAIDINVITE"] = function(msg, editbox)

        local wait, text = msg:trim():match("^(%d+) (.+)$")



        wait = tonumber(wait)

        if wait and wait > 0 then

                WAIT_TIME = wait

        else

                WAIT_TIME = 10

        end



        SendChatMessage(text or msg, "GUILD")

        f:Show()

end

Thank both of you for the reply!

Is there any dependency to induce the addon to work that I made at http://addon.ziuo.net ? Because it seems not working. It reports wrong command for bot /rinv and /raidinvite

All I have to do is copy-paste the code (with the starting line "local WAIT_TIME = 10") to the "LUA file" editbox on addon.ziuo.net and choose a name above at "Addon folder name" editbox or should I use "Show advanced TOC options" also or something else I missed out? How can I get it to work?

Do you have "Load Outdated AddOns" checked? The addon creator you linked to has the incorrect interface number in the TOC. It's 40300, not 40330. You can either tell your game client to load the addon or change the number in the TOC while on that site.

Of course, I use some other outdated addons aswell. It used to be working but it doesn't.

Edit: Ok, I figured out that the first script (Ketho's script) is working, the second script (Phanx' one) is not working for me. Is the Phanx' one only an affix to Ketho's script or is it a complete rewrite that I can copy+paste into the http://addon.ziuo.net script field?

It is a complete rewrite (eg. used by itself, not in addition to Ketho's code) but I did not test it in-game. Are there any Lua errors (install BugSack to check), or does it just "not work"?

When I type either /rinv or /raidinvite, wow does not recognize it. Replies "Type '/help' for a listing of a few commands" error message.

There was a missing parenthesis. Here is a corrected version:

Code:

local WAIT_TIME = 10



local f = CreateFrame("Frame")

f:Hide()



f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event)

        if GetNumRaidMembers() > 0 then

                self:UnregisterAllEvents()

        elseif GetNumPartyMembers() > 0 then

                ConvertToRaid()

        end

end)



local delay = 0

f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, elapsed)

        delay = delay + elapsed

        if delay < WAIT_TIME then

                return

        end



        if GetNumRaidMembers() == 0 then

                self:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")

                if GetNumPartyMembers() == 0 then

                        self:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")

                else

                        ConvertToRaid()

                end

        end



        for i = 1, GetNumGuildMembers() do

                local name, _, _, level, _, _, _, _, online = GetGuildRosterInfo(i)

                if online and (level >= 70 and level <= 80) then

                        InviteUnit(name)

                end

        end

        delay = 0

        self:Hide()

end)



SLASH_RAIDINVITE1 = "/rinv"

SLASH_RAIDINVITE2 = "/raidinvite"



SlashCmdList["RAIDINVITE"] = function(msg, editbox)

        if msg == "" then

                return print("|cffffff00Usage:|r /rinv |cff66ffff10|r |cffff99ffRaid invites coming in 10 seconds!|r")

        end



        local wait, text = msg:trim():match("^(%d+) (.+)$")



        wait = tonumber(wait)

        if wait and wait > 0 then

                WAIT_TIME = wait

        else

                WAIT_TIME = 10

        end

        SendChatMessage(text or msg, "GUILD")

        f:Show()

end

As I'm not in a guild, I can't completely test it, but the slash command with no arguments outputs the help line as expected, and there are no syntax errors.

Also, for future reference, when testing code, or trying to figure out why an addon isn't working right, you should install BugSack or a similar error catching tool so you can see any Lua errors that are occurring. Just enabling Lua errors in the Blizzard interface options isn't enough, because that won't show you errors that occur during the initial loading sequence (like those caused by missing parentheses).

The new one is working as intended, thank you very much!

However, when the invites begin and it reaches the 4th invite then I got some "Your party is full." message for the 5th, 6th, etc.. I had to manually invite the rest again who weren't invited since the party was full. (Actually the party wasn't full, it was empty (only me) because nobody has accepted the first 4 invites because they were in a group.)

Could switching the order (convert party to raid then invite members) solve that problem?

Hmm, I see the problem. You actually can't send more than one party's worth of invites until you convert to a raid. It's definitely solvable, though. I'll see what I can come up with.
