If you want to know the number of arguments in the vararg local args = select("#",...) will give you that.

Aww okay i wasnt quite sure..


Have another question rather than make a new thread.

I want to extend my function to something that would tell a guildie who logs on hello. im thinking it would look something like this?

function GuildLevelUp.OnEvent(self, event, ...)
	local lvl = UnitLevel("player");
	local race = UnitClass("player");
        local playerOn = ? -- what function would i call?
	if ( (event == "PLAYER_LEVEL_UP") ) then
		SendChatMessage("DING! Yeah thats right im now a level "..lvl.." "..race..".", "GUILD", nil, nil);
	elseif ( (event =="PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD") then
		SendChatMessage("Hello "...playerOn..."! Nice to see you on today!", "GUILD", nil, nil);
		
		else
	
	end
end

I know i would need to change the OnLoad to something different. I belive it would be something like:

function GuildLevelUp.OnLoad(self) -- Loads on player login --
	self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LEVEL_UP");
	self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN");
	self:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_GUILD_ACHIEVEMENT"); -- this would be later if someone got an achievement -- 

	DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("[Scare Bears INC] Guild Level Up Announcer has been initialized!");
	DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(" Ver. 1.0.0.11");
	DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(" Currently there are no /commands.");
end

I know that you pass in "self" being an event that happens to you, but how do you pass an arg that happens in guild? im not sure on that.
