How to execute a slash-command?

Hello,

Sorry if it is a stupid question but I would like to execute a slash-command in a script and I don't know how this can be done.

I tried:

local myCommand = "/raresist";
RunScript(myCommand);
SendChatMessage(myCommand,"SAY");
SendChatMessage(myCommand,"EMOTE");
DoEmote(myCommand);
ConsoleExec(myCommand);

but nothing works :(

Thanks for youy help!

-- YourLuaFile.lua --
function something_OnLoad()
SLASH_YOURCOMMAND = "/raresist"; -- you can add multiple comands
SLASH_YOURCOMMAND2 = "/raresist2"; -- you can add multiple comands
SlashCmdList["CMDLIST"] = CmdFunction;
end;

function CmdFunction(cmd)
if (cmd == "Something") then
DoSomething; -- can be a function or a simple action like emote
end;
end;

-- Finish --

Hope it helps :P
Cheers

Thanks for your reply ProfOak !

Sorry, I wasn't accurate enough.

I know how to create slash-cmd in my addons but I would like to create a library of slash-cmd created and used in other addons (like /dcrshow for Decursive, /raresist for CTRA resist list, etc...).

This could be done in macros (by creating a macro and fill it with /raresist for example) but I already have tons of macro and I don't want to fill my screen with all of theses macros.).

Another solution could be to put the desired slash-cmd in the chat frame and then "apply/send/validate" the chat frame... but I don't know how to "apply" the chat frame :(

It sounds like you are trying to run the slash commands from another mod, from inside one of your own mods? I don't really understand scope yet, need to do some reading I guess, but since slash commands in the other mods are just pointing at functions, can your mod just not call those functions instead of the slash commands pointing at them?

I was trying to build a *customizable* slash-cmd library. A place where users can store (exceute) and call some useful slash-cmd.

I recently tried:

Code:

local myCommand = "/abs" -- test

if (not ChatFrameEditBox:IsVisible()) then

        ChatFrame_OpenChat(myCommand );

else

        ChatFrameEditBox:SetText(myCommand );

end;

ChatEdit_ParseText(ChatFrameEditBox,0);

ChatEdit_ParseText(ChatFrame1.editBox,0);

ChatEdit_OnEnterPressed();

but it returns me a framexml error :(

I use the following ... not sure anymore where I found that code

Quote:

DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.editBox:SetText("/raresist") ChatEdit_SendText(DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.editBox, 0)

Yeah, it works :)
Thx Sariash!

Also with slash commands, some mods have it, if you type the /command twice it will close the window, how is this possible??

That's up to the mod author to code it.
