Slash commands handlers and automation

[Soeters]

Hello, I'm having a problem with my slash command handler, here's the part of code that bothers me

function stCore:SlashHandler(name)
 if(name) then
	if getglobal("stText_"..name) then
		local f = _G["stText_"..name]
--	 	Custom slash commands
		if f.Slash then 
			f:Slash()
--		Normal slash commands	
		else
			if f.bg:IsShown() then
				f.bg:Hide()
				f:EnableMouse"false"
				print("|cff00efffstText: |r"..name.." module locked")
			else
				f.bg:Show()
				f:EnableMouse"true"
				print("|cff00efffstText: |r"..name.." module unlocked")
			end
		end
	end
 end
end
SLASH_STTEXT1 = "/sttext"
SLASH_STTEXT2 = "/stt"
SlashCmdList["STTEXT"] = stCore.SlashHandler

My plugins are named Clock, Memory (and others but here are the ones I testing with because Clock is a normal plugin, and Memory is a custom one)

If type /stt Clock then it throws me an error telling me that :

attempt to concatenate local 'name' (a table value)

Here's the line with the problem

if getglobal("stText_"..name) then

But if I type /run stCore:SlashHandler"Clock" then it works

So if someone is understanding what the problem can be

The error message pretty much tells you what it is .. track back the value that ultimately gets passed to Slash Handler. It is a table of values by the sound of it. Your test is passing a single value but perhaps your addon is passing more than just a value.

Try print(name) and see what it results out as. Once you find out why it is passing a table value or how you can get the value you want out of the table you will be able to correct the problem.

stCore.SlashHandler ~= stCore:SlashHandler

Just did a quick google search and this will probably help you http://www.lua.org/pil/16.html .

Thanks a lot, I just defined the function as stCore.SlashCommand and it worked perfectly

You also want to replace getglobal("whatever") with _G["whatever"].
