IsMounted API Help

I'm trying to fix a portion of an addon but i'm a bit stuck.

The portion of the addon which causes a new random mount macro to be generate (I want this because it includes the tooltip and icon etc, is currently like this;

Code:

function MountManager:UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED(event, unit, spellName)

    if self.db.profile.autoNextMount and unit == "player" and spellName == GetSpellInfo(state.mount) then

        self:GenerateMacro()

    end

end

I believe that UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED no longer gives spell details so I dropped the (event, unit, spellName) and changed it to IsMounted, eventually trying a few things but currently I have

Code:

function MountManager:UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED()

    if self.db.profile.autoNextMount and unit == "player" and IsMounted() then

        self:GenerateMacro()

    end

end

any help would be appreciate as i'm a bit stuck now

According to the documentation, the payload (...) for UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED is:

Code:

unitTarget, Type = string, Nilable = false

castGUID, Type = string, Nilable = false

spellID, Type = number, Nilable = false

Thanks Fizzlemizz,

I have this a try;

Code:

function MountManager:UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED(event, unitTarget, spellName)

    if self.db.profile.autoNextMount and IsMounted() == true then

        self:GenerateMacro()

    end

end

a go, its not trigger of a successful case I don't think, its just picking up when I'm mounted, then it basically spam generates the macro in batches (throttled maybe?)

I guess it just need it to basically generate the macro upon a successful mount cast

Your original code seemed to be comparing spellName to a stored variable, possibly a mount name. Instead of the spell name, you can use the spell id.

Lua Code:

local MountManager = CreateFrame("Frame")
MountManager:RegisterEvent("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED")
function MountManager:UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED(event, unitTarget, castGUID, spellId)
    print(unitTarget, castGUID, spellId)
end
MountManager:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    MountManager[event](self, event, ...)
end)

In the code above when I mount, I get a unitTarget of player and the spellId of the mount (17481 which is Rivendare's DeathCharger).

Code:

function MountManager:UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED(event, unitTarget, castGUID, spellId)

    if self.db.profile.autoNextMount and unit == "player" and spellId == select(7, GetSpellInfo(state.mount)) then

        self:GenerateMacro()

    end

end

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what your original code is trying to do.

Thanks again Fizzlemizz,

For reference the full Lua is here - https://pastebin.com/eTjahqd0

Basically its a random mount macro, and the trigger is meant to detect when you mount it picks a new random mount causing the macro to update icon/tooltip etc
