Find a list secure functions

Hi all

I am trying to find a secure function for mounting that I can hook.

I have already found some secure functions such as JumpOrAscendStart and CollectionsJournal_UpdateSelectedTab.

Is there a way for me to find a list of all of the secure functions, or if one does not already exist, how I can build my own list?

I'd suggest looking at the source code for the default UI. There are a few online repositories that have this available or you could extract it yourself. It would be a good idea to list all the different ways the game can process mounting to get an idea of what you need to look for. Things like ActionButton, Spell/Item use, CollectionFrame, etc.

This list may get overwhelmingly long, so you may want to consider if your code can support a more focused approach. For example, all these methods send a spellcast request to the server. The way to detect these is to listen for the server to respond with a spellcast start event with the SpellID matching the mount that's being summoned.

Hi SDPhantom

I have tried tracking the spell via UNIT_SPELLCAST_SENT and it is great to pick out each mount spell and then cancel; however, there are hundreds of mounts that I wish to stop.

I want to stop a player from summoning any mount or at worse dismount after they have mounted.

Sorry, I always forget to fully explain what my final goal is. :o

I have now accepted that I will have to dismount after the player has mounted.

To do this I have the following chunk:

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:SetScript(
    "OnEvent",
    function(self, event, ...)
        if event == "UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED" then
            unit, spellGUID, spellID = ...
            print("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED", unit, spellGUID, spellID)
            for k, v in pairs(C_MountJournal.GetMountIDs()) do
                if v == spellID then
                    print("found")
                end
            end
        end
    end
)
f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED")

I cannot work out why I never print found, but maybe I am too close to see the error.

Because the spell to mount a thing (spellID) is not the thing itself (mountID).

Hi Fizzlemizz

You are right.:)

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:SetScript(
    "OnEvent",
    function(self, event, ...)
        if event == "UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED" then
            _, _, spellID = ...
            mountID = C_MountJournal.GetMountFromSpell(spellID)
            for k, v in pairs(C_MountJournal.GetMountIDs()) do
                if v == mountID then
                    Dismount()
                end
            end
        end
    end
)
 
f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED")

Thanks for your help.

Lua Code:

if v == mountID then
        Dismount()
        break -- no need to keep looking
end
