Transforming an existing addon

[Phanx]

Also, you don't need this:

function InitRrr() 

	DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("|c00FF0000Rrr |cFF00FF01loaded.\nTalk like a |c00FF0000rovare!"); 
	
	rrr_toggle = true;
	
	SLASH_RRRTOGGLE = "/rrr";
	SlashCmdList["RRRTOGGLE"] = rrrToggle;
	
end

It's never called from anywhere, for one, and even if you did call it, the "/rrr" command still wouldn't do anything because no function "rrrToggle" is defined. Plus, nobody likes addons that spam "hey, this addon you just installed and enabled is loaded!" at login.

Ok, but I called function Initrrr in rrr.xml:

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/
..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">

	<Frame name="Rrr" parent="UIParent" hidden="true">
		<Scripts>
			<OnLoad>
				InitRrr();
			</OnLoad>
		</Scripts>
	</Frame>
	
</Ui>

But you don't have a function called rrrToggle - aren't you getting a nil error there?

[Phanx]

You don't get an error by setting something to nil; only if you then try to do something with the nil something.

But, nothing in your InitRrr function has any purpose, so you should just get rid of it (and get rid of the similarly useless XML file).

[Dzib]

But I need an xml file, no? so what should be in it?

[Xubera]

actually, you dont need an XML fille, you dont even need a frame. You dont listen for any events and you dont need any sort of timer. The only thing you need is a .toc and that .lua that phanx posted and it works.

[Dzib]

Doesnt work for me....

[Xubera]

post your .toc and your .lua file

you could just copy and paste it, but put the toc and lua in different [code] tags.
