[Help] My first addon

[SEnergy]

Hi, I decided to make my first addon, I wanted to create addon that if u will say "/seon" it will change color of your text and if u say "/seoff" it will return it back to normal, but when I test it in-game it just don't works, I don't get any error or something, only that "this command does not exist, say "/help" for command list" or something like this, it don't even send message that is added at top when I login, here is my addon:

--this is for 3.3.5a

SEnergy.lua

SLASH_SECMDON1 = "/seon"
SLASH_SECMDOFF1 = "/seoff"
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("|cff404040SEnergy has been activated!\124r.");
scm = SendChatMessage
Thing[0] = msg;
Thing[1] = "\124cffCC0000\124Hitem:19:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h(SEnergy!): \124cffFF6600\124Hitem:19:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h" ..msg.. "\124h\124r";
SECMDONOFF = 0;

SlashCmdList["SECMDON"] = function()
	if(SECMDONOFF = 1) then
		DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("|cff404040ChatColor is already ON\124r.");
	else if(SECMDONOFF = 0) then
		SECMDONOFF = 1;
	end
end

SlashCmdList["SECMDOFF"] = function()
	if(SECMDONOFF = 0) then
		DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("|cff404040ChatColor is already OFF\124r.");
	else if(SECMDONOFF = 1) then
		SECMDONOFF = 0
	end
end

function SendChatMessage(msg, type, language, chan)
	scm(Thing[SECMDONOFF], type, language, chan);
end

P.S.: This is rewrite of my first working "addon" from one book (I don't remember name), maybe it will help so here it is:

SLASH_CAU1 = "/cau"
SlashCmdList["CAU"] = function(self, txt)
	if UnitExists("target") then
		SendChatMessage(UnitName("target") .. " si zmrd!", "SAY")
	else
		SendChatMessage("Caute zmrdi!")
	end
end

I'm trying to debug your code, but it looks really confusing to me. Maybe I'm just tired.

I can't seem to find the reason why the /command wouldn't actually exist. However, try to place this:

SLASH_SECMDON1 = "/seon"
SLASH_SECMDOFF1 = "/seoff"

after your functions, instead of at the top.

By the way, '=' in a condition needs to replaced by '=='. Like this:

if(SECMDONOFF == 1)

Also, what's this?

function SendChatMessage(msg, type, language, chan)
	scm(Thing[SECMDONOFF], type, language, chan);
end

Is it your intention to overwrite the default SendChatMessage function? That's not a very good idea.

Also, I'm not quite sure if I understood the intention of your addon correctly, but you can't send coloured chat messages to other people.

Can you turn on Lua errors or get BugSack/Swatter?

I'm trying to convert this macro

/run if(not scm) then scm = SendChatMessage; end; function SendChatMessage(msg, type, lang, chan);scm("\124cffCC0000\124Hitem:19:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h(SEnergy!): \124cffFF6600\124Hitem:19:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h" ..msg.. "\124h\124r", type, lang, chan);end

into addon, as u can see this macro is working, so I CAN send colored messages to players: http://filebeam.com/3eb4841d1c5f7b14...8ccd191a53.jpg

and yes, I'm trying to overwrite default SendChatMessage function

edit: I tried to place commands under functions and replaced '=' with '==' in 'if' (didn't noticed that :P) but it's still not working

On WoWInterface, we do not support the use of private servers, and we won't be able to help you create addons for them either.

Sending coloured messages is not possible on live realms.

Closing this.
