Technical Question ...

Hi Guys,

So here is my question : "What should I do to access Broker information from another addon ?"

And now a little bit of context : I'd like to tie up BloodShieldTracker into Nib's fantastic UI. I feel it is not very productive to redesign the wheel when it exists so : BST exists, it seems to have broker capabilities then why not have this displayed using Nib's Stats display.

My problem is I'm very new to LUA, and did not fully understood the broker internal mecanics. If any of you could point me to snippets of code where the same thing is done (use information from other addons) that would be great, and may be I could learn from it.

Then I'll submit my work for your review/approbation/trolling depending . And if he feels it's not too bad then Nib can include it. Else, I'll keep it to myself .

Also don't hesitate if you think it's a stupid idea.

Thanks for your help.

Take care,
Ruven.

I'm quite sure I have to do some work in nibRealUI\HuD\StatDisplay.lua, I just don't know what exactly .
