So since some nameless toolbox got /run, /script and /dump disabled, I wrote an AddOn to, uh, undisable them.

[Slakah]

* The global variables this, event and arg1[b], [b]arg2... have been removed. Event handlers and other callbacks must use the appropriate locals. If you have lua installed locally, the command luac -l -p somefile.lua can be useful to search for the GETGLOBAL instruction to find places where code is referencing a global instance of these variables.

It's finally happened, hallelujah

Do not know if want.


I just recently got into addons, and now it seems I'll likely have to relearn how to do a few things. >.<

Yeah, I have to sorta agree. The removal of 'this' is giving me a bit of a headache.

For me, it's less about this being removed, so much as event.

Don't feel bad; it's causing a few issues across all my projects, as well as a few others I'm sure. The problem is that these things were supposed to have been removed a LONG time ago, but their old API still depended on them. Pre-Cata dropdowns were littered with "this" still in it and has become a major thorn in my side with this change.

So now poeple are still used to these being actively used after their supposed "disappearance" and are watching their addons blow up with no documentation (that I've found anyways) listing the "correct" format examples to replace their ancient "this" references. This is very confusing/frustrating for new and old coders alike. Old dogs and new tricks....

[Torhal]

Strangely, I've never had occasion to use the global "this" for the past two years...
