- - Issue with /in (https://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43033)

So I have a macro that is supposed to scroll through my friends list and tell me who is online, what their status is (Afk or not), and where they are. Now, this is not the only thing in the macro. For some reason or another it runs the friend script, which is at the bottom, before it runs the script at the top. So I put in a /in 1 just to make it wait a little before it ran that script. Now, I ran into a small issue. This macro only worked on 1 character. On my others, it would loop that one section of scripting infinitely. Now, it doesn't even work on that 1 character that it did before.

Quick example, I type /script i=0;
then /in 1 /script SendChatMessage(i) i=i+1;. In all respects, this macro should make me say "0" after 1 second. It actually loops infinitely, counting 0 1 2 3 4 etc...The only ways of getting it to stop are /camp, /exit, and /reload. Does anyone have any idea what this is and/or how to fix it? Thanks ahead for the help.

/in is not, and never has been, part of the default UI. The old, old Ace2 framework included the command in one of the libraries or you can also get this slash command through an addon such as SlashIn or InDemand.

/edit: meaning that you had an addon enabled on one character that you did not on the others and this is why it worked.

Code:

/run for i=1,GetNumFriends() do local name, _, _, _, connected = GetFriendInfo(i) if(connected) then print(name, 'is online') end end

I'm not certain, but I think the problem is that you have a script within a script. I think everything which follows the /script command is also a script, regardless of semi-colon or newline.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. A newline ends the script. A semicolon just an ending of a statement in the script. In my experience, the semicolon, while more correct, is just optional.

That makes sense in all that I don't have character specific addons. If it is enabled on one char, I have it enabled on all of them.

I do have Ace2 and Ace3 installed. (It's needed for an Addon that I have.)

I already have the macro. I just need help figuring out what is wrong with the timing of the script.

Code:

/run local _,num=GetNumFriends(); for i=1,num do ShowFriends() local name,level,_,location,_,status=GetFriendInfo(i); if num>0 then print("  "..status.."\124cffFFFF00\124Hplayer:"..name.."\124h["..name.."]\124h\124r is online and is in "..location..".") end end ; if num==0 then print("  No friends currently online.") end if num==1 then print("  1 friend currently online.") end if num>1 then print("  "..num.." friends currently online.") end

Yes I realize it's a little over complicated, but it did what I wanted so I didn't feel like simplifying it.

My bad there, I tested this myself and you're right about the script ending. :)

The Ace2 framework has been officially dead for years, and was unsupported for years before that. There is no excuse for any addon that still functions in current versions of World of Warcraft to still be using this ancient framework, especially when porting addons from Ace2 to Ace3 is trivially easy.

I just finally found my problem. There was a conflict running both Ace2 and Ace3. One of my addons ceases to function without Ace2, so I turned off Ace3 and it works fine...

And fyi, this is an old, out-of-date addon (Gag) that I am running on 3.3.5a.
