Interesting Error...

[TULOA]

I am using UnitId to get the ID for UnitFullName for the realm.

Everything is correct but im getting this error:

Message: [string "print(UnitId("player"))"]:1: attempt to call global 'UnitId' (a nil value) Time: 04/14/14 22:33:41 Count: 1 Stack: [string "print(UnitId("player"))"]:1: in main chunk [C]: in function `RunScript' Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2036: in function `?'

I am running /run print(UnitId("player")) ingame to try to test it in my addon but its still giving that error.

Anyone know offhand why its doing that?

UnitId isn't a function that you can call...

What is the ID for UnitFullName for a realm? Do you mean a GUID?

Wasnt aware of that as I thought if you didnt have one this function was used to retrieve it.

If its not when did this change? I know a few sites saying this is a valid function is why I used it.

A UnitID is used to define who you want to specify for a function or an action. There isn't any "not knowing" a UnitID; you know it -- they are just relative to the situation.

"player" IS the UnitID; you use that inside of UnitFullName.

/run print(UnitFullName("player"))
