Slashcommandhandler
 

Hi,

my code doesn't seem to work:

function MaggyAssigner_SlashHandler(msg)
local Cmd = MaggyAssigner_GetCmd(msg);
if (Cmd == "help") then
MaggyAssigner_DisplayHelp();
elseif (Cmd == "show") then
MaggyAssigner_DisplayMe();
else
MaggyAssigner_DisplayHelp();
end
end

function MaggyAssigner_DisplayMe()
MaggyAssigner:Show();
end

function Maggy_DisplayHelp()
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("HELP!");
end

function MaggyAssigner_OnLoad()
SlashCmdList["MaggyAssigner"] = MaggyAssigner_SlashHandler(msg);
SLASH_MaggyAssigner1 = "/show";
SLASH_MaggyAssigner2 = "/help";
end

The form's onload event: MaggyAssigner_OnLoad();


What am I doing wrong?

/help is used by the Blizzard UI. That may be part of it.
What kind of errors are you getting? Are your slash commands not being recognized?

First of all try making SlashCmdList["MaggyAssigner"] = MaggyAssigner_SlashHandler(msg) to SlashCmdList["MaggyAssigner"] = MaggyAssigner_SlashHandler;

Secondly, where is this function (MaggyAssigner_GetCmd(msg)) and why are you calling it and not directly checking the msg argument ?

Ok, changed the code to:

function MaggyAssigner_SlashHandler(msg)
if (msg == "help") then
MaggyAssigner_DisplayHelp();
elseif (msg == "show") then
MaggyAssigner_DisplayMe();
else
MaggyAssigner_DisplayHelp();
end
end

function MaggyAssigner_DisplayMe()
MaggyAssigner:Show();
end

function Maggy_DisplayHelp()
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("HELP!");
end

function MaggyAssigner_OnLoad()
SlashCmdList["MaggyAssigner"] = MaggyAssigner_SlashHandler();
SLASH_MaggyAssigner1 = "/show";
SLASH_MaggyAssigner2 = "/help";
end

As I understand it, I should get my frame visible with: /show
don't I?

As you can see I am very new to this. :D

SlashCmdList["MaggyAssigner"] = MaggyAssigner_SlashHandler;

No '()'. Post if it works now, at least the slash commands should. The frame may (or may not) have other issues

I'm noticing that no function called by the form is working.

I have two buttons on my form.
One has in the OnClick event: Form_name:Hide();

If I change it to call a function in the lua file, nothing happens.

Do I have to 'connect' the lua file and form file somehow?

found it... apparently in WoW UI Designer Function is not the same as function.

:D :banana:

Thanks for the assist! (many more questions to come! :D )
