Constantly repeating event

SetiHunter · 01-01-09, 10:08 AM

Hello. I would need a repeating event for my addon by contant time intervalls. It seems like ScheduleRepeatingEvent from ACE is propriate but cant get it to work. Maybe anyone can give an example?
It looks like this:

Code:

ScheduleRepeatingEvent(event, delay, ...)

and I tried:

Code:

MyAddon:ScheduleRepeatingEvent(methodToRun, 0.2)

But methodToRun dose not run ^^

Have you included Ace Timer when you defined your addon? You also need to include the library using your .toc or embeds.xml.

Code:

MyAddon= LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):NewAddon("MyAddon", "AceTimer-3.0")

Another thing to note is that you dont prefix methodToRun with your addon name i.e. dont do this

MyAddon:ScheduleRepeatingEvent("MyAddon:methodToRun", 0.2)

Do this, note the quote marks

Code:

MyAddon:ScheduleRepeatingEvent("methodToRun", 0.2)
