Set it up as per its documentation, with its load on tags? Now you don't have to muck around with Lua and trying to figure out how to only load on one class. |
I was slightly aware of this, but at the same time was also bit worried of using it as the addon that I am creating doesn't seem to worth using it
(Mine's really trivial and shabby...)
BUT, I'll give it a shot
AddonLoader actually seems interesting to play with!

/edit: TOC files are only read when the game client is started up. This is why you need to exit the game completely when editing/changing a TOC file. The TOC file is also where the client gets the addon name from to display in the addon menu at the character select screen. |
Thank you for your clarification Seerah!
It makes much more sense now
