enable/disable addon based on class.

I am trying to make a addon that enables/disables other addons based on the character class.

exp.
If class = hunter & addon = XXXX is not on, enable it
or
if class is not = hunter & addon "hunter addon" is enabled, disable addon.

coding exp (currently not working)

Code:

local playerClass, englishClass = UnitClass("player");



if (playerClass == "Hunter") then

    if not (IsAddOnLoaded("Tyra Misdirection")) then

      EnableAddOn("Tyra Misdirection")

      ReloadUI()

    end

end



if (playerClass == "Rogue") then

    if (IsAddOnLoaded("Tyra Misdirection")) then

      DisableAddOn("Tyra Misdirection")

      ReloadUI()

    end

end

The code is currently reading that the class is indeed hunter/rogue. But isn't doing anything beyond that.

You can select addons to be loaded in the addon settings for each char.
Guess thats faster than writing an addon.
Or you can ask the addonauthors to add support for

http://www.wowwiki.com/AddonLoader

which can load addons classbased and does not need an uireload.

The function ReloadUI is protected. Which means you cant call it without
the user clicking key or mouse. So you would need to create a button
to prompt for the reload when needed.

Not to mention most addons that are class specific have their own class loaders in them. I know mine do....

What i do with Nutty War Announce is have the addon disable for next login if the class that logs in with it is not a warrior. You should be able to edit the below code to suit yourself easy enough.

Code:

function NuttyWarAnnounce:OnInitialize()

if select(2,UnitClass("player")) == "WARRIOR" then

    print("|cffFF0000Nutty War Announce:|r |cff00FF00Enabled|r")

            elseif not Warrior then

    print("|cffFF0000Nutty War Announce:|r |cff00FF00Not a warrior. Disabling addon for next login|r")

      DisableAddOn("NuttyWarAnnounce")

      enabled = false

end



end

Edit: Sorry read the thread wrong. Hope this can be of some use tho.

what i do with my warlock addon is

Code:

local function nDemonic_Disable()

        DisableAddOn("nDemonic");

        ReloadUI();

end



StaticPopupDialogs["DISABLE_NDEMONIC"] = {

        text = "You're not currently logged into a warlock, disabling the AddOn.",

        button1 = "Accept", OnAccept = nDemonic_Disable, timeout = 0, whileDead = 1,

};



function nDemonic:PLAYER_LOGIN()

        if (select(2,UnitClass("player")) == "WARLOCK") then

                nDemonic:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED");

                nDemonic:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_DEAD");

                nDemonic:RegisterEvent("ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA");

        else

                StaticPopup_Show("DISABLE_NDEMONIC");

        end

        nDemonic:UnregisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN");

end

Reason for that is I think you have to invoke the reloading of the UI through clicking instead of having it reload without user interaction.
