end of arena event?

i want to make an addon to whisper another char something when arena ends / or number of rival team changes (how hard it can be??)
but i cant find any event fired for it ! searched and found people talking about blizzards arena UI but i cant find anything in it either ! who knows this event ?
----------
and i made an input box to insert 2nd character (that must revive the whisper) into a variable but i cant type anything in it . do anyone have a simple example?
tnx

anyone?

it seems nobody in whole world knows this :(
any suggestion ? like checking something in UI

and another question is :
do you know any addon to transfer chat/or combat log from one character to another?

12 hours isn't a whole lot of time to wait for a reply from someone with that very specific knowledge.

Try these events: (any arguments are unknown, according to WoWWiki)

ARENA_OPPONENT_UPDATE
ARENA_SEASON_WORLD_STATE

Then there are these battleground events. I don't know how useful these will be:

UPDATE_BATTLEFIELD_SCORE - Fired whenever new battlefield score data has been recieved, this is usually fired after RequestBattlefieldScoreData() is called.
UPDATE_WORLD_STATES - Fired within Battlefields when certain things occur such as a flag being captured.

Then there is this event, which deals further with world states:

WORLD_STATE_UI_TIMER_UPDATE

ARENA_OPPONENT_UPDATE -- fired only at start of arena (about 5 time)
ARENA_SEASON_WORLD_STATE -- not fired in arena i think.
UPDATE_BATTLEFIELD_SCORE -- fired whole time in arena every time something being cast or changed .
UPDATE_WORLD_STATES -- fired at start of arena(about 10 time) and at end of arena(2 time)
WORLD_STATE_UI_TIMER_UPDATE --not tested yet

I think UPDATE_WORLD_STATES is perfect to find out end of arena but the question is : how we can find out if this event is fired for start of arena or end of arena ? do they have any args?

Can't you do something like this?

(pretend code)

lua Code:

local function tellme()
 
if event == "UPDATE_WORLD_STATES" then
print("This event just ran")
 
end

Indeed, you can:

lua Code:

local event_frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
 
event_frame:RegisterEvent("ARENA_OPPONENT_UPDATE")
event_frame:RegisterEvent("ARENA_SEASON_WORLD_STATE")
event_frame:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_BATTLEFIELD_SCORE")
event_frame:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_WORLD_STATES")
event_frame:RegisterEvent("WORLD_STATE_UI_TIMER_UPDATE")
 
event_frame:SetScript("OnEvent",
              function(self, event, addon)
                  print(string.format("Caught event: %s", event))
              end)

how about end of arena

each of this events fired many times in arena and my chat window looks like

This event just ran
This event just ran
This event just ran
[party]someone : LETS Do IT!
This event just ran
This event just ran
This event just ran
This event just ran
[party]other one : yea!
This event just ran

how i can find out if this event has been fired for end of arena?

Try checking the return values from IsActiveBattlefieldArena when the event fires?

By using the code I supplied above. It will tell you exactly which event just fired instead of saying an event fired.
