Guild Update

[Tarumi]

I can't seem to find an event that fires when a guild member logs on. I want it to show "Guildies: #" for how many guild members are online but it doesn't seem to update correctly since I'm trying to only use events to drive my addon, not a OnUpdate (unless I have to).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

last i checked there was no event for this and you have to update and then check the guild roster periodically (every minute or so).

you have to fire GuildRoster() then wait for event "GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE" to fire and then you can check out your roster with GetGuildRosterInfo()

With my guild chat plugin for nUI I call GuildRoster when logging in and when key guild related events occur. They will then trigger the GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE event which I then use to count the number of people online/offline/inguild etc. I also have a short burst of GuildRoster calling to trigger it outside of the events.

You could turn on the chat feature that displays when guild members log on and watch that. However, that does not notify you when they log off... hmm...

Thanks for the replies guys! It looks like I"ll add the GuildRoster() call every 30sec or so and update it from the event fired. Thanks!!!
