Possible to change chat channel from a lua script?

[bcsbcs]

Greetings,

I have looked all over and either I'm just not seeing it or its not their but I am trying to find a way of changing the current chat channel from a lua addon.

To simplify I am wanting to do a /p to change my default channel to party from within a lua script as I have a addon that automatically sets the loot mode for FFA but cant get it to put me into group chat automatically too.

If anyone can tell me how this can be done it'd really be nice as I have looked all over before posting this.


Kind regards,

BS

Try something like

SendChatMessage("", "PARTY")

and see if that switches it for you.

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately although it puts a message in the party channel it doesnt actually change it for the next time you press enter.

Do you use a chat mod that has a sticky chat feature already? If not, then that would probably be the way for you to go.

Oh if you're trying to make party chat sticky then:

ChatTypeInfo['PARTY'].sticky = 1

Thanks for the further suggestions which work fine if you set the channel manually using /p for party but I cant get my script to set me to party chat automatically when forming a group.
