And I'm still completely lost.
I've looked through all the stuff you guys have sent me, and, while I have a very basic grasp of it, I'm still completely lost. I attempted to write some of it into my own code, but all it did was break any progress I had made.
The addon I am making is a relatively simple addon that informs you when you have a Na'jentus Spine from High Warlord Na'jentus in BT. The frame that pops up features a hide button, a textstring saying "You have the spine!" and a large button labeled "Throw It!", which should use the spine.
For purposes of testing, I am currently using soul shards as a placeholder item. I was able to make the frame pop up as soon as one obtained a soul shard.
Here is the code I have so far. (A lot of it is borrowed from ESN_Hexer. Most instances where you see ESN_Hexer in this code are going to be replaced.)
NajentusHelper.lua
local f = CreateFrame("Frame","ESN_Hexer_Frame",WorldFrame)
f:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
f:SetAllPoints(WorldFrame)
f:SetAlpha(0)
f:SetPoint("CENTER",0,0)
f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_LOOT")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(frame, event, name)
if (event == "CHAT_MSG_LOOT") then
if (string.find (arg1, ESN_Hexer_String_YouCreate) and string.find(arg1, ESN_Hexer_String_SoulShard)) then
Frame1:Show();
end
end
end)
function Button2_OnClick()
Frame1:Hide();
end
localization.lua
ESN_Hexer_String_YouCreate = "You create"
ESN_Hexer_String_SoulShard = "Soul Shard"
end
Frame.xml (Before I made any changes to a secure frame)

----------------------------------------------
The "Throw It!" button currently has no function.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could give me some pointers regarding where exactly I'm supposed to put
the scripts that make the "Throw It!"button usable. ((E.G. Where am I supposed to set the attributes?))
For now, assume that I am using a Hearthstone as a placeholder for the spine. It'd certainly be a lot easier to test than having to obtain a spine.
Thank you so much for your help so far.
