Trade Spammer Addon

[jakobboegsted]

Hey Folks

I am looking for an addon to post small texts into the trade chat, if i persay got 20 Stacks of Abyss Crystal i would be able to "spam" the trade chat every 5 mins or something like that. Its not meant as a spam addon to flood the trade chat, but like send a message every 5 or 10 minutes.

KEEP AWAY TROLLS!!!

See Ya, Jakob.

There used to be an addon called 'trade secretary' for just that, however I don't think it's being developed any more and so probably doesn't work.

Also, what's wrong with pressing a button every 5 minutes?

Edit: I'm told 'advance broadcaster' works with the latest patch, sadly it's too much effort to link from my phone.

Trade Talker used to be a good one, think it's broken now unless it got updated recently. I used Spammer not too long ago and while it was buggy it got the job done.

i use two addons for spam, SpamMeNot and SpamThrottle. It keeps my chats pretty clear from spam / gold sellers and such.

It strikes me like this addon would be in violation of Blizzard policy, as it automates a player action, and even if it weren't, it's not like you can sell/trade/craft automatically, so you'll still be playing.

You're just lazy.

It's not in violation of anything. Chatting is not a protected action.

It's not in violation of anything. Chatting is not a protected action.

There are several rules on prohibited behavior in chat in the WoW TOS, lest you mean it that it's not protected from automation like killing/resource gathering/etc. is, in which case:

Additional License Limitations.
The license granted to you in Section 1 is subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 1 and 2 (collectively, the “License Limitations”). Any use of the Service or the Game Client in violation of the License Limitations will be regarded as an infringement of Blizzard’s copyrights in and to the Game. You agree that you will not, under any circumstances:

A. use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the World of Warcraft experience;

And seeing as whatever he's advertising for must be done by him, he may as well post the advertisements.

Anything doable in Blizzard's own LUA engine is not prohibited by the ToU. Period.

EDIT: OT:

local a = CreateFrame("Frame")
a:Hide()
a:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self,elapsed)
    self.elapsed = (self.elapsed or 0)+elapsed
    if self.elapsed >= self.timer then
        SendChatMessage(self.message, self.channel, nil, self.data)
        self.elapsed = 0
    end
end)
SlashCmdList["REPEATCHAT"]=function(input)
    if input:lower() == "stop" then a:Hide() return end
    local message, delay, channel, data = input:match("\"(.+)\"%s+(%d+)%s+(%S+)%s*(%S*)")
    if (not message) or (not delay) or (not channel) then
        print("Proper syntax: "<message>" <delay> <channel>( <chandata>)")
        return
    end
    a.timer = tonumber(delay)
    a.message = message
    a.channel = channel:upper()
    a.data = data
    a.elapsed = 0
    a:Show()
end
SLASH_REPEATCHAT1="/repeatchat"
SLASH_REPEATCHAT2="/repeat"

How to use. Untested. Tested and working. Report back with issues.

Make into an addon as linked above, then type

/repeatchat "message" 300 CHANNEL 2

in-game. 300 is the seconds, 2 is the channel index. Make sure you have quotes around your message.
