Easy Hello World On Event Question (newbie)

[phaze112]

I am trying to do a simple display of Hello World when a certain combat log event matches what I am looking for but I feel I am doing something wrong.


__________________

function HelloWorld(self,event,...)

frame:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
self[event](...)
end)
local spellID, spellName
frame.COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED = function(...)
if arg2 == "SPELL_AURA_APPLIED" then
spellID = arg9
spellName = GetSpellInfo(spellID)
if spellName == "Fel Armor" then
message("Hello World!");
end
end
end


end

This is just a simple modification of the HelloWorld tutorial blizz provides so the xml and toc are the same as the tutorial.

Thanks all and this basic problem I am having will solve so many of my questions thank you alot

DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Hello World!")

Also, you need to add

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")

at the very beginning of the file.

Delete your XML file. You don't need one for something like this.

Make sure your TOC looks like:

## Interface: 20400
## Author: phaze112
## Title: HelloWorld!
## Notes: Test addon of freakin' awesomeness!
helloworld.lua

Obviously replace helloworld.lua with the actual file name.
