Auto Invite help

[weasoug]

Hi there all. after a few days of edit and changing i got this working. but it still shows the invite window. howw can i hide it.

i also have been trying to as a if. in guild to it. so guild members could invite you.

AutoInvite = true

if AutoInvite then
local afi = CreateFrame("Frame")
afi:RegisterEvent("PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST")
afi:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")
afi:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
         if event == "PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST" then
		ShowFriends() -- Update Friends List
		for friendnum = 1, GetNumFriends() do
			myFriend = select(1, GetFriendInfo(friendnum))
			if(arg1 == myFriend) then
				AcceptGroup()
			end
		end
	end
end)
end

any help would be good.


edit-
StaticPopup_Hide i might be able to use there. umm.

When dealing with StaticPopupFrame, it's best to hook into the event that calls it so it'll reliably run AFTER the code that shows the popup. In this case, UIParent processes the event, so that's the frame we want to hook.

UIParent:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
    if event=="PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST" then
        ShowFriends()-- Update friends list
        for i=1,GetNumFriends() do
            if (GetFriendInfo(i))==(...) then
                AcceptGroup();--        Accept invite
                StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE",(...));--   Hide popup
                break;--    Stop scanning (we're done here)
            end
        end
    end
end);

Note: the only extra arg passed to the function is the name of the player inviting you. This is initially passed to StaticPopup_Show(), which assigns it as the popup's ID. You'll need to pass it to StaticPopup_Hide() hide the frame.

thanks for that. i new there had to be something to do with StaticPopup but could not work out how and where. as no matter where i added it it would hide but not take the invite.

but i did find with your update i got an error to do with

for 1=1,GetNumFriends() do

it seemed to want a name. where the 2nd 1 is.

for i=1, GetNumFriends() do if(GetFriendInfo(i)==name) then

Something like this perhaps?

that seems to have it now.

just cant work out this one

AutoAcceptInvites = true
if AutoAcceptInvites then
local afi = CreateFrame("Frame")
afi:RegisterEvent("PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST")
afi:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")
afi:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
UIParent:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
    if event=="PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST" then
        ShowFriends()-- Update friends list
        for i=1, GetNumFriends() do 
                if(GetFriendInfo(i)==name) then
                AcceptGroup();--        Accept invite
                StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE",(...));--   Hide popup
                break;--    Stop scanning (we're done here)
            end
        end
    end
end);
end

its mainly to do with afi:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
where before i just added a ) one but last of the end ive remove the ; on this one and messed about with the end and i cant work it out.

You don't need Afi anymore if you're going to hook a script to the UIParent.

UIParent:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
    if event=="PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST" then
        ShowFriends()-- Update friends list
        for i=1, GetNumFriends() do 
                if(GetFriendInfo(i)==name) then
                AcceptGroup();--        Accept invite
                StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE",(...));--   Hide popup
                break;--    Stop scanning (we're done here)
            end
        end
    end
end)

[weasoug]

yes i did try that to start with. but it dont seem to work

AutoAcceptInvites = true

if AutoAcceptInvites then
UIParent:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
    if event=="PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST" then
        ShowFriends()-- Update friends list
        for i=1, GetNumFriends() do 
                if(GetFriendInfo(i)==name) then
                AcceptGroup();--        Accept invite
                StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE",(...));--   Hide popup
                break;--    Stop scanning (we're done here)
            end
        end
    end
end)
end

the invite window still comes up. and it dont auto take the invite.

local function IsFriend(name)
	ShowFriends()
	for i = 1, GetNumFriends() do
		if GetFriendInfo(i) == name then return true end
	end
	if IsInGuild() then
		GuildRoster()
		for i = 1, GetNumGuildMembers() do
			if GetGuildRosterInfo(i) == name then return true end
		end
	end
end
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, name)
	if IsFriend(name) then
		for i = 1, STATICPOPUP_NUMDIALOGS do
			local frame = _G["StaticPopup"..i]
			if frame:IsVisible() and frame.which == "PARTY_INVITE" then StaticPopup_OnClick(frame, 1) end
		end
	else SendWho("n-\""..name.."\"") end
end)

This is what I use. It's basically tekAccept with a few updates.

Not to discourage you from learning to write addons, but why are you spending time reinventing a wheel that's already been reinvented dozens of times? There are so many "auto accept invite, auto decline duels, auto repair, auto sell junk, auto this, auto that" addons out there. I just don't understand why people keep writing the same thing over and over.

Well for someone new to writing addons starting with things that have been done before is not a bad idea, as this would give them more resources to learn from.
I learned to code via looking at other peoples addons and ripping them apart so see how they work. Once people have learned to code or have better understanding of how things work then they can branch out and try new things.

Altho everyone learns differently. I find the secret to learning how to code is be patient as it is a long process and you will have good times and bad times.

One of the people I learned most about coding (C in this case) is giving a tip: "Steal code!".

It's sort of "OpenSource-fanboy-like", but his credo is: Look at code which has improved for years and learn from it. Then develop your own style of programming with that base.

It's like mentalnutsy said: You can learn by the (good) code of other people. But I guess what was Phanx pointing out is: This has already be done, don't invite the wheel again, but look at how it was done!
