Lua Dev Thread warchief 01/16/16 (Sat) 00:06:33 736d5a No.2073

Use this thread to ask questions about Lua errors you're experiencing in WoW, questions about the Lua language, or to make suggestions and requests. Also post what you're working on.

>Lua

- Manual: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

- Book (Lua 5.0): http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

Wanted this to be different from the AddOn thread (http://8ch.net/nostalrius/res/43.html#43) by sticking specifically to Lua related question and answer. If you have a question about how to use a specific AddOn (e.g. configuring Luna Unit Frames, not Lua specific), use that thread.

YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play.

Something useful worth noting is that a lot of WoW API lists are modern WoW lists. You can get a good list of the old stuff by going to wowwiki and clicking the arrow next to Edit. 2006 is a good year to put in, but be wary of TBC beta tester information. They usually mark it with "added in 2.0".

Alternatively, you could just keep going back until it never comes up, like in

If that video doesn't take you back to the past, I don't know what will

Here's an addon I made a while ago as a request for someone from halfchan. It was requested as a backport, but the original uses all the animation API from Wrath+, so I just remade the whole thing from scratch using timers instead of trying to backport the animation API too.

- When you die, plays the YOU DIED animation from Dark Souls

I reworked my addon to be completely GUI based. It took me eleven and half gorillion years, but I'm happy with it

It's basically got a readme built in with that ? mark button, but you can add spells with the add spells button. You have to actually have the spell to add it.

Script can be any script. It has to actually cast a spell or the sequence will never advance. I didn't have a good way to check the script besides run it and error handle it, but that might fuck your day up so I left that out. Type your script right.

The efficient healing will cast the most efficient rank of heal for you. Read the part on it

Commands are /sc to bring up the gui

/sc cast to cast your spells

/sc castMO to cast your spells, but with mouseover
