[lua] execute a shlash command in lua function

[Vyntrox]

hey together,

so i'm working on my UI and having this small little problem.
button to show or hide recount. this works without any problems.
but now i wanted a right click functionality.
idea was born and with it the problem

-- Meter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local MyMeterButton = MyAddonButtonTemplate(nil, MyMinimapButton, 60, 18, "LEFT",-67,0)
MyMeterButton:RegisterForClicks("LeftButtonUp", "RightButtonUp")    
local s = MyMeterButton:CreateFontString(nil,"ARTWORK")
    s:SetFont("Interface\\Addons\\zMedia\\fonts\\HOOGE.TTF", 14, "OUTLINE")
    s:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
    s:SetTextColor(1,1,1,1)
    s:SetText("Meter")

  
MyRecountLock = function()
if Recount:LockWindows(true)
then
Recount:LockWindows(false)
else
Recount:LockWindows(true)
end   
end

   
MyMeterButton:SetScript("OnClick", function(self, button) if button == "LeftButton" then ToggleFrame(Recount_MainWindow) elseif button == "RightButton" then MyRecountLock()  end end)

    if cfg.COLORING == "Class" then
            MyMeterButton:SetScript("OnEnter", function(self) s:SetTextColor(c.r,c.g,c.b,1) end)
        elseif cfg.COLORING == "Custom" then
            MyMeterButton:SetScript("OnEnter", function(self) s:SetTextColor(unpack(cfg.CUSTOMColor)) end)
        else
            MyMeterButton:SetScript("OnEnter", function(self) s:SetTextColor(1,1,1,1) end)
    end
MyMeterButton:SetScript("OnLeave", function(self) s:SetTextColor(1,1,1,1) end)

thats what i have. last try was this MyRecountLock function but it did not work.
how can i solve this problem? how cant i add "/recount lock" in my on click script. think thats the easiest solution.

i'm hope someone can help me

p.s.
i know it's slash and not shlash

Send the text command?

[Vyntrox]

if i would know how to send the text command via script, this thread would not exist.
sry if it's easy for you but i'm no programmer.

local function slashCommand(command,args)
    for key,func in pairs(SlashCmdList) do
        local i = 1
        local c = _G[("SLASH_%s1"):format(key)]
        while c do
            if c == command then
                func(args)
                return
            end
            i=i+1
            c = _G[("SLASH_%s%d"):format(key,i)]
        end
    end
end

Command should be passed with the slash (so "/recount", not "recount"). Drycoded.

SlashCmdList["RECOUNT"]("lock")

that will do it

[Vyntrox]

@SpaceDuck
tried it lthis way:

MyMeterButton:SetScript("OnClick", function(self, button) if button == "LeftButton" then ToggleFrame(Recount_MainWindow) elseif button == "RightButton" then SlashCmdList["RECOUNT"]("lock") end end)

LUA Error:
attempt to call field "RECOUNT" (a nil value) (x2)

@Treeston
thank you it works finely now.
am i right when i say that i can use that function for any other slash command?


another big thanks to all that helped me solve my problem

[Treeston]

Should definitely work with every addon-defined slash command. I'm not 100% on all of the default slash commands, though.
