Need help with Macros

I have another question (AddOn related):
In the chat, if I writte:

Code: Select all

/run ChatFrame1:AddMessage(UnitLevel("player"))

or

Code: Select all

/script ChatFrame1:AddMessage(UnitLevel("player"))

it will writte the player's level in the chat, but, if I try

Code: Select all

ChatFrame1:AddMessage(UnitLevel("player"))

on the .lua document for an AddOn, it always writtes 0.

It could mean that the addon is being triggered before the player information is even created.

You could try adding a event trigger I.E. PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD

Code: Select all

local f = CreateFrame("frame");
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD");
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
  if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then
    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(UnitLevel("player"));
  end
end);

I don't think you can add messages to the chat on PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD, I'd recommend testing it with PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED as this is easier to reproduce

PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD is when everything should be loaded (default ui at least). I even tested it to confirm and it still works.

As for PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED, yes that would be easier to reproduce instead of reloading ui constantly but its dependent on the needs of the addon and how you want to test it.
