Code:
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Hello, world.")
Does is it end up as "SAY", even though it isn't?
@Phanx
After ChatTypeGroup is defined, a reverse lookup table is created called ChatTypeGroupInverted. Couldn't that be used instead of the one you created in your code? The output is the key into ChatTypeInfo, so I assume it could be. |
I'm not sure what it would default to actually.
I'd just assumed that Phanx had written it that way to avoid global table lookups all the time.
