Please help me with an addon

[Adonator5000]

Hello!

I am new here but I saw that you known a lot about making addons etc
So I did an addon that is already working as intended but I am not getting how to make a slash command to launch my addon on the player's interface.

I am using the next code but I am keeping getting an Lua Error from it:

SLASH_NOVIDADE1 = "/Novidade"
SLASH_NOVIDADE2 = "/Novídade"

SlashCmdList["NOVIDADE"] = function ()
NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame();
end

Please can you help me? I just want to make the window of addon to appear for the player when he uses the command: /Novidade
Ty!

You don't tell us what the error says which would be helpful but...

The SLASH_NOVIDADE1, SLASH_NOVIDADE2 etc. are for different slash commands that call the same function (in case one gets overwitten by another addon or you want to have say, a full addon name command and an acronym command (but you only need one) eg.:

SLASH_NOVIDADE1 = "/novidade"
SLASH_NOVIDADE2 = "/nvd"

if NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame is defined as a local function, it needs to be declared before the SlashCmdList entry is created

local function NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame()
    MyFrame:SetShown(not MyFrame:IsShown ())
end
 
SlashCmdList["NOVIDADE"] = function(msg)
     NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame()
end

I have no idea what the NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame function does so the code is just for exmple.

You need to move the NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame function code above (before)

SlashCmdList["NOVIDADE"] = function ()
    NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame();
end

in the .lua file.

so it looks something like:

local function NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame()
    -- whatever the function code is
end
 
SlashCmdList["NOVIDADE"] = function ()
    NOVIDADE_ToggleFrame();
end

That would be helpful. You can use the code tags in the post editor (use the # or lua button).

Sorry, I can't help with code for private servers. This site is for offical Blizzard games only.
