Played Killed Target Event?

I've looked through the wiki and other sites, I can't seem to find an event that fires when the player kills its target.

Is there one? If not, what would be an alternative?

I cant remember if it includes you even if not in a party, but it definately wont work on other players in a raid, only party members

I'll try that, thanks. Also, I appear to have placed this in the wrong section, could someone please move it for me?

I'm sorry for the double post and the late reply - only just got to testing this. This doesn't appear to work. I'm new with events and don't fully understand how they're used in WoWLUA.

Here's my code -
Foo.lua

Code:

if event == "PARTY_KILL" then 

 hunted=hunted+1

end

slash_command.lua

Code:

SLASH_HUNT1 = "/hunt"

SlashCmdList["HUNT"] = function(msg, editBox)

        if hunted == nil then

        SendChatMessage("You haven't killed any monsters");

        else

        SendChatMessage(hunted, "SAY");

        end

end

Foo.xml

Code:

<Frame name="Foo_Frame">

  <Scripts>

    <OnLoad>

        Foo_OnLoad();

    </OnLoad>

    <OnEvent>

        Foo_OnEvent(self, event, ...); -- The ... parameter passes all arguments that would otherwise be implicitly sent prior to 3.0.

                                      -- As of 3.0, you will need to explicitly send these arguments (as done here).  

    </OnEvent>

  </Scripts>

</Frame>

AutoLoot1.toc

Could someone tell me why it isn't working? Thanks (:

Foo.lua

Code:

function Foo_OnLoad(self)

    self:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")

    SLASH_HUNT1 = "/hunt"

    SlashCmdList["HUNT"] = function(msg)

        if hunted == nil then

            SendChatMessage("You haven't killed any monsters", "SAY");

        else

            SendChatMessage("Number of killing blows: "..hunted, "SAY");

        end

    end

end



function Foo_OnEvent(self,event,...)

    local timestamp, type = ...

    if type == "PARTY_KILL" then

        hunted = ( hunted or 0 ) + 1 --in case hunted isnt declared yet

    end

end

Foo.xml

Code:

<Frame name="Foo_Frame">

  <Scripts>

    <OnLoad>

        Foo_OnLoad(self);

    </OnLoad>

    <OnEvent>

        Foo_OnEvent(self, event, ...);

    </OnEvent>

Don't forget to actually check that you're the one killing (source guid/name)

Is this contained in a function, or is it really in the file body?

Code:

if event == "PARTY_KILL" then 

 hunted=hunted+1

end

If the latter, that's your problem - there is no "event" at that point, and the code is only called once.

If you're gonna use XML you should start and end the file with

Code:

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/

..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">



>> your frame's here <<



</Ui>

Also you can change
SendChatMessage() which will actually send a message to the server for everyone to see to print() or DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage() or ChatFrame1:AddMessage() which only you will be able to see.
