Mass guild whisp for X rang.

[makaka]

Hello everybody!

This is ma script:

/run for i = 1, select(2, GetNumGuildMembers()) do SendChatMessage("TEXT MESSAGE", "WHISPER", nil, GetGuildRosterInfo(i)) end


So.. how to change the script so that will not whisp all the people who are online, but whisp only to a XXX rank in the guild?

Like..

*Member* - nothing whisp!
*Veteran* - nothing whisp!
*Newbie* - Hello, this is.. blahblahblah!

Thx you!

try this

/run for i = 1, select(2, GetNumGuildMembers()) do SendChatMessage("TEXT MESSAGE", "WHISPER", nil, GetGuildRosterInfo(i), GuildControlGetRankName("rank name")) end

It might work, I'm not playing WoW atm so I can't test it.

tinyu: that's not how SendChatMessage() works, nor is it what GuildControlGetRankName() is for.

makaka: This is untested, but really should work.

/run for i=1,select(2,GetNumGuildMembers()) do local n,r=GetGuildRosterInfo(i) if r="Newbie" then SendChatMessage("TEXT MESSAGE","WHISPER",nil,n) end end

GetGuildRosterInfo has many returns. The first is name, and the second is rank. As your script goes through the loop, it assigns that member's name to the variable n and their rank to the variable r. If the rank is "Newbie" (or whatever you want to replace that with) then it will send the message. I also tightened it up a little bit more. As written, if your rank name is "Newbie" or another 6-letter name, you have 114 characters to use for your message.

cheers Seerah I was just making a stab in the dark I was almost certain what I posted was wrong lol.

Tryed, but doesn't work. I think need change r="Newbie" - r="(number of rank)". I use russian client, and maybe it did not work because of transliteration, but I changed the name of the rank from Russian to English name - Newbie. And this again dsoen't work.

No, the second return of GetGuildRosterInfo() is a string - the actual name of the rank. http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetGuildRosterInfo

Is Newbie the actual name of the rank you want to check for? I noted that you need to replace that with whatever you're looking for.

Also, to test for equality, you need two equals-signs, not one.

This sets the value of r to "Newbie", and the check fails because setting a variable doesn't return anything:

if r = "Newbie" then

This compares the value of r to "Newbie" and returns true (passing the check) if it is:

if r == "Newbie" then

There we go! I don't know how I missed that twice.
