I noticed your template had the function as a local function.... is that needed? if i leave it like that i get the nil value error...

My problem seems to be when i call my GLUA_Message function, which calls to my table and randomly picks a quote, then says to send that message to self, party, bg, raid, and guild if in one. im getting the protected function unknown.... So from looking at your link it spears SendChatMessage is a protected function now...

Because i can get it to print "Player Leveled up = PLAYER_LEVEL_UP. meaning i get to line 121 of my code . I can add print("calling SendChatMessage with "..quote_to_share.." on channel number "..chan_number.."!") to line 126 unter ocal chan_number=GLUA_Channel() and see that its call the quote and level properly, just cant send the chat message. and by adding print(quotes) and print(channel) i can see that it passes the correct values to it..

The only thing i can think is that Locals:InCombatSkipped in the error, may not be letting me pass it to a secure function.. i guess i would need to check out of combat?
