Battleground & Instance Queue

[TwistedJester]

Hello,
I'm looking for a battleground and instance 'on ready' event code.
I want to catch the event when the 'Accept or Dismiss' dialog opens, but so far I had no luck in finding the right one.

Thanks in advance.

There is no event triggered on receiving battleground popup.

If you want to check if that popup is "Battleground ready" you need to hook the OnShow of static popup window.

function BattlegroundStartCheck()
	if StaticPopup1["which"] == "CONFIRM_BATTLEFIELD_ENTRY" then
		--That is "Battleground ready" popup!
	end
end

StaticPopup1:HookScript("OnShow", BattlegroundStartCheck);

and for the dungeon finder event it's LFG_PROPOSAL_SHOW

It should be BATTLEFIELD_MGR_QUEUE_REQUEST_RESPONSE that is currently being handled by PVPFrame.lua. I can't confirm it easily, I know it's one of the BATTLEFIELD_MGR events from looking at Blizzard's code. They have the entire event group running a single update function that eventually shows the popup when the time comes.

BATTLEFIELD_MGR_QUEUE_REQUEST_RESPONSE trigger only on popup to join PVP zone (Tol Barad etc.) not battleground.

About the battleground stuff, I know there is BATTLEFIELDS_SHOW, but I haven't seen it actually fire at all ..

That never trigger :-P
BATTLEFIELDS_CLOSE trigger on closing PVP window.

One method more:
After each UPDATE_BATTLEFIELD_STATUS you need run check GetBattlefieldStatus(1) and GetBattlefieldStatus(2). If any return "confirm" player was been invited to enter this battleground but has not done so yet. So he got popup now or he minimized it.

From your code, it's checking for a StaticPopup using the CONFIRM_BATTLEFIELD_ENTRY dataset. Tracing it back through Blizzard code to find what creates the popup points to PVP_UpdateStatus() defined in PVPFrame.lia line 1803. The line that specifically shows the StaticPopup is line 1892.

From PVPFrame_OnEvent() defined at line 178, these events trugger a call to PVP_UpdateStatus():

• PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD
• UPDATE_BATTLEFIELD_STATUS
• ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA
• ZONE_CHANGED
• BATTLEFIELD_MGR_QUEUE_REQUEST_RESPONSE
• BATTLEFIELD_MGR_EJECT_PENDING
• BATTLEFIELD_MGR_EJECTED
• BATTLEFIELD_MGR_QUEUE_INVITE
• BATTLEFIELD_MGR_ENTRY_INVITE
• BATTLEFIELD_MGR_ENTERED

It has to be triggered from one of these events and I know it isn't PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD or any of the ZONE_CHANGED events.



Note: PVP_UpdateStatus() is called in Minimap.lua line 111 in an OnUpdate handler, but is passing a value of 1 to the tooltipOnly parameter, which skips handling the StaticPopup.
