Lua code help.

[Onstriker]

I just got this addon to mark the targets with Shadowbeacon on the yogg saron fight, however Id like to test this addon before going in there, I tried changed the getspellinfo to something like Greater blessing of kings(the id of course) and go in a raid with a friend of mine and mouse over him but it did not mark the target.

I'm pretty new to lua so id appreciate some help.


local buffName = GetSpellInfo(64465) --64465
local iconIndex = 0
local firstIcon = 1
local iconNumber = 5

local function UpdateUnit(unit)
if UnitExists(unit) then

local hasBuff = UnitAura(unit, buffName)
local icon = GetRaidTargetIndex(unit) or 0
local hasIcon = (icon >= firstIcon) and (icon < firstIcon + iconNumber)

if hasBuff and not hasIcon then
SetRaidTarget(unit, firstIcon + iconIndex)
iconIndex = (iconIndex + 1) % iconNumber
elseif hasIcon and not hasBuff then
SetRaidTarget(unit, 0)
end

end
end

function ShadowBeacon_OnLoad()
if GetNumRaidMembers() ~= 0 then
this:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED");
this:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT");
end
end

function ShadowBeacon_OnEvent(event)
if event == "PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED" then
UpdateUnit('target')
elseif event == "UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT" then
UpdateUnit('mouseover')
end
end

function ShadowBeacon_OnLoad()
if GetNumRaidMembers() ~= 0 then
this:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED");
this:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT");
end
end

If you're not in a raid before the addon is loaded, the events will never be registered.

So i have to login already in a raid or /reloadui after I joined a raid?

[Waverian]

Yep, reload would work.

worked, thank you very much.
