Hi, I'm using LevelRecorder by Astromech and i wanted to add the total time played to it. i tried:

Code:

local played = 0
...
-- OnEvent handler
local OnEvent = function(self, event, level)
    if event == "PLAYER_LEVEL_UP" and level >= minlevel then
        -- Displayed /played data on the chat frame
        RequestTimePlayed()
        if event == "TIME_PLAYED_MSG" then
            -- Display message
            played = arg1
            message:SetText(getMessage(level))
            message:Show()
            -- Set up the screenshot handler for next update
            frame:Show()
        end
    else -- if event == "SCREENSHOT_SUCCEEDED" or event == "SCREENSHOT_FAILED" then
        message:Hide()
    end
end
...
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", OnEvent)
frame:SetScript("OnUpdate", OnUpdate)
frame:RegisterEvent"PLAYER_LEVEL_UP"
frame:RegisterEvent"TIME_PLAYED_MSG"

but it didn't work. I level, it shows the time in the chat but never takes the screenshot. could anyone help me or at least point me in the right direction?

Your code looks nice when showing the time etc, but you never call Screenshot(), witch is needed to actually capture the screen. Just used like this;

Code:

Screenshot()

its actually called in the OnUpdate handler but nothing after

Code:

if event == "TIME_PLAYED_MSG" then

is called for some reason
