Help with a addon

[Kirame]

Hey,
I have a problem. I want to make a addon that plays random sounds if the player dies. In my opinion it should just work fine, but it doesn't. I copied some code from other addons, but I made the relevant changes.
This is the progress i've made so far:

function RDS_OnLoad()
this:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_DEAD");
this:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ALIVE");
this:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_UNGHOST");
end

function RDS_OnEvent(event, arg1, arg2, arg3)
if event == "PLAYER_DEAD" then
PlaySoundFile("Interface\\AddOns\\Sheesh\\Sounds\\Sheesh"..math.random(45)..".wav");
else
StopMusic();
end
end

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_DEAD")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event)
msg = CreateFrame("MessageFrame", "DeadPeopleMessageFrame", UIParent)
msg:SetWidth(512);
msg:SetHeight(200);
msg:SetPoint("TOP", 0, -200, "CENTER", 0, 200);
msg:SetHeight(44)
msg:SetInsertMode("TOP")
msg:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
msg:SetTimeVisible(8)
msg:SetFadeDuration(4)
msg:SetScale(1.3)
msg:SetFont(STANDARD_TEXT_FONT, 30, "OUTLINE")
msg:AddMessage("Sheesh du Lappen", 1, 0, 0)
end)

There are 45 soundfiles all numbered properly and I really dont know what mistake I could have made. The Message also doesn't show up so...at the moment nothing really works how it should.
I hope some of you out there can help me, I would really appreciate it.

Greetings
Kirame

At work, so I can't test, but, some ideas...

- Put your functions inside another simple, working, addon to test if your issue is with the skeleton/meta-info of the addon, or the function itself.

- And instead of doing this whole message frame, if you just want to do diagnostic testing, just write out to the default chat box (cause frames can be such a @!#$ing pain to get right sometimes, they'll fail, and you'll have no idea why until you finally find the little issue and you hate yourself for missing something so obvious).

If I have time tonight, I'll hook it into an addon skeleton I have for testing stuff like this, but no promises, since I have to pack for vacation (YAY VACATION!!!)

You didn't show us your xml file. Either way, it's not needed since everything can be done in Lua instead

local msg = CreateFrame("MessageFrame")
msg:SetSize(512, 44)
msg:SetPoint("TOP", 0, -200)
msg:SetInsertMode("TOP")
msg:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
msg:SetTimeVisible(8)
msg:SetFadeDuration(4)
msg:SetScale(1.3)
msg:SetFont(STANDARD_TEXT_FONT, 30, "OUTLINE")

local rds = CreateFrame("Frame")

function rds:OnEvent(event)
	if event == "PLAYER_DEAD" then
		PlaySoundFile("Interface\\AddOns\\Sheesh\\Sounds\\Sheesh"..random(45)..".wav")
		msg:AddMessage("Sheesh du Lappen", 1, 0, 0)
	else
		StopMusic()
	end
end

rds:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_DEAD")
rds:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ALIVE")
rds:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_UNGHOST")
rds:SetScript("OnEvent", rds.OnEvent)
