Help with matching a specific player name

keflem · 06-01-08, 03:34 PM

I use loot hog and would like to send custom messages to specific users who try and slash roll something other than 1-100.

This is the Function from Loot Hog with out modification that works:

Code:

function loothog_ProcessRoll(player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
	roll = tonumber(roll)
	min_roll = tonumber(min_roll)
	max_roll = tonumber(max_roll)

	--call to update internal statistic
	loothog_updateRollStatistics(roll)
	
	-- Reject cheaters: at this position should be the new function loothog_validRoll(...)
	--if ((min_roll ~= 1)  or (max_roll > 100)) and (loothog_settings["reject"]) then
	if (not loothog_validRoll(roll, min_roll, max_roll) and (loothog_settings["reject"])) then
		local cheat_msg = string.format(LOOTHOG_MSG_CHEAT, player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
		if (loothog_settings["reject_announce"]) then
			-- Bust the cheater if configured to announce rejects:
			loothog_chat(cheat_msg)
		else
			-- Otherwise just notify the local client:
			if (DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME) then
				DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(cheat_msg)
			end
		end
		return
	end

This is the code with my modification that does not work:

Code:

function loothog_ProcessRoll(player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
	roll = tonumber(roll)
	min_roll = tonumber(min_roll)
	max_roll = tonumber(max_roll)

	--call to update internal statistic
	loothog_updateRollStatistics(roll)
	
	-- Reject cheaters: at this position should be the new function loothog_validRoll(...)
	--if ((min_roll ~= 1)  or (max_roll > 100)) and (loothog_settings["reject"]) then
	if (not loothog_validRoll(roll, min_roll, max_roll) and (loothog_settings["reject"])) then
		if (player["Keflem"]) then
			local cheat_msg = string.format(LOOTHOG_MSG_CHEAT1, player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
		end
				
		--local cheat_msg = string.format(LOOTHOG_MSG_CHEAT, player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
		if (loothog_settings["reject_announce"]) then
			-- Bust the cheater if configured to announce rejects:
			loothog_chat(cheat_msg)
		else
			-- Otherwise just notify the local client:
			if (DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME) then
				DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(cheat_msg)
			end
		end
		return
	end

I have tried adding it many different ways and cannot get it to work as i intended. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

What is

Code:

if (player["Keflem"]) then

I haven't looked at this specific AddOn so I'm not sure if that's in the code somewhere but maybe this is what you need.

Code:

if (UnitName("player") == "Keflem") then

i just tried this. It does not work.

I have even tried :

if (player == "Keflem") then

and it does not work.

pulling my hair out on this one.

Code:

function loothog_ProcessRoll(player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
	roll = tonumber(roll)
	min_roll = tonumber(min_roll)
	max_roll = tonumber(max_roll)

	--call to update internal statistic
	loothog_updateRollStatistics(roll)
	
	-- Reject cheaters: at this position should be the new function loothog_validRoll(...)
	--if ((min_roll ~= 1)  or (max_roll > 100)) and (loothog_settings["reject"]) then
	if (not loothog_validRoll(roll, min_roll, max_roll) and (loothog_settings["reject"])) then
		local cheat_msg
		if ("Keflem" == UnitName("player")) then
			cheat_msg = string.format(LOOTHOG_MSG_CHEAT1, player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
		else
			cheat_msg = string.format(LOOTHOG_MSG_CHEAT, player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
		end	
		--local cheat_msg = string.format(LOOTHOG_MSG_CHEAT, player, roll, min_roll, max_roll)
		if (loothog_settings["reject_announce"]) then
			-- Bust the cheater if configured to announce rejects:
			loothog_chat(cheat_msg)
		else
			-- Otherwise just notify the local client:
			if (DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME) then
				DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(cheat_msg)
			end
		end
		return
	end

(there's an end missing here :/. maybe you just didn't copy it in)

I assume you added LOOTHOG_MSG_CHEAT1 yourself?

okay used this. It still does not work. I get a chat usage error. Additionally how do i compare to the player argument passed to the function rather than the Unit player.

Thank you for all of your help BTW.

What exactly is the error?

and

Code:

if (player == "Keflem") then

I think this is the way to do it:

Code:

if UnitExists("Keflem") then ....

Using UnitName("player") refers to yourself.
