AddMessage

hi all. i wanted to ask if there is some other way to use DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage.

i know

Code:

DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(wname.." pinged by: |cffFF0000" .. ping_name .. "|r")

and will say it in the main chat window

i then found print and made it shorter in words hehe. but did the same

print(wname.." pinged by: |cffFF0000" .. ping_name .. "|r")

but can i send it to say combat channel. or minimap.

so it gets me thinknig maybe there are other
calls. like
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME
that i could use.

thanks for your time

ChatFrames are numbered 1-6 (iirc it might be different now). Anyway you can send a message to the CombatChatFrame (usually the second chat frame) using the function call:
ChatFrame2:AddMessage()

Code:

wmpingnotice = true

Code:

wmping:RegisterEvent("MINIMAP_PING")

wmping:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,unit) 

if wmpingnotice then local ping_name = UnitName(unit) 

function call:ChatFrame2:AddMessage(wname.." pinged by: |cffFF0000" .. ping_name .. "|r") end end)

is what i tryed but with no luck

you copied me wrong it should be

lua Code:

ChatFrame2:AddMessage(wname.." pinged by: |cffFF0000" .. ping_name .. "|r")

not

lua Code:

function call:ChatFrame2:AddMessage(wname.." pinged by: |cffFF0000" .. ping_name .. "|r")

i see. and that can be changed in the numbers you said on a past post. ie 1.to 10 ect.

ty again

ps. makes me think if i can make a name for it.

like

ChatFrame2:AddMessage()

to
local pop = ChatFrame2
then others can change from 2 to what chat channel they want to.

and this i will have in one long line of code. as i would change from 5 lines to one line.

pop:AddMessage()
