Need help with a macro script

[Deleted]

Hey all,

This macro used to work pre-cataclysm, but now after the release of Cataclysm, it doesn't work anymore.

What the macro should do, is that the persons whispers the dkp holder (in this case me), and then it'll return that persons dkp in a whisper. The whisper that shows the amount of dkp would then be posted in the raid chat.

Here is the macro:

/script f = CreateFrame("Frame");f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_WHISPER");f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()  SendChatMessage(strsub(arg1,22),"RAID");this:UnregisterAllEvents(); end);SendChatMessage("!dkp","WHISPER",nil,"Noiranda");

Thanks in advance,

Noiranda

Could you outline the exact order of whispers you want and what they contain? I'm kind of confused by your explaination.

Yes of course.

What I want the macro to do is that a random raid member should be able to click it. The macro will then whisper the webdkp holder which in this scenario is Noiranda. The person that whispered Noiranda will then receive his or her dkp in a whisper. Then that value will be posted into the raid chat where everyone can see it.

I hope that made it more clear,

Thanks for helping out

Ah.

/run local h,m,s,e="Noiranda",DKPWF,SendChatMessage,"CHAT_MSG_WHISPER" if not m then m=CreateFrame("Frame","DKPWF")m:SetScript("OnEvent",function(a,_,c,d)if d==h then s(c,"RAID")a:UnregisterEvent(e)end end)end m:RegisterEvent(e)s("!dkp","WHISPER",nil,h)

Phew. There you go.

The reason your macro wasn't working because it was using the [deprecated since 3.0] autolocals arg1 and this - they now need to specified in the function declaration if you want to use them.

Hey Treston,

For some reason the macro is returning !dkp into the raid and not the actual dkp amount.

[Deleted]

Probably because it's the first whisper you receive from yourself. Since you tested it on yourself.

Yeah, it works now Thanks alot for the help, Treeston.
