How to get the nickname of a killed player?
 

Hello everyone, I'm new to developing addons for the game. Can you please tell me how to get the nickname (and server) of the player I killed in PvP mode

First off, welcome to the world of addon programming.
Secondly, bookmark these sites if you haven't already:

This link points you to how you can get unit info which would be your target or mouseover etc..

The following is an old post that asked the same question.

But .. I couldn't see UNIT_DIED or PARTY_KILL on wowinterface now so may be events that have been removed.

The other option is

But all it does is pick up a unit_id which you might be able to use to get the unit name using the function I mentioned above.

The problem though is whether your target changes between you killing the person and the event triggering and being acted on.

But good luck.
