Help request for an old chat addon
Hi there,
I Recently rediscovered an addon I was using back in the day which sadly hasn't been updated for a while
and thereby leaving it nonfunctional.
The purpose of the addon is to change the chatframe's height (maximize and minimize) when a new message
appears in the chat.
Following error is thrown:
Code:
Message: Interface\AddOns\Chicchai\core.lua:117: attempt to index local 'self' (a nil value)

I've tried applying my limited coding skill but that didn't get me anywhere.
Any help is appreciated. |
