Slash commands with WA

[ztn]

i'am out of ideas why slash commands don't work for me in Weak Auras...

let's take simple example:

SLASH_ZTN1="/ztn" 
SLASH_ZTN2="/ztnko" 
     
SlashCmdList["ZTN"]=function(msg) 
    local id,text=msg:match("(%S+)%s+(.+)") 
    if id and text then 
        print(id.." "..text) 
    end 
end  

this code works if it's in standalone addon. it works even from macros

/run SLASH_ZTN1="/ztn" SLASH_ZTN2="/ztnko" SlashCmdList["ZTN"]=function(msg) id,text=msg:match("(%S+)%s+(.+)") if id and text then print(id.." "..text) end end

but i can't achieve any results from WA. it dont show any errors and it even register my function in SlashCmdList table because i receive valid results when /run print(SlashCmdList["ZTN"]) instead of nil.

Please, any ideas what i do wrong?

Since you need to set a truly global value for SLASH_prefix1, you need to make use of setglobal.

So in short, you need to make these calls


SlashCmdList.SOME_FUNCTION = function(msg) ... end

setglobal("SOME_FUNCTION1", "/sf")


And that should give you access to your /sf command from outside of the WA environment.

edit for clarification on the first part: Setting a global variable from within WA will not make it "truly global." The value will be stored in a _G table from within WA's environment, so it can't be accessed outside of WA's. setglobal circumvents this, and allows a variable to be accessed both in and out of WA's environment.
