Whisper Contents of Table

[sirann]

My code can be found here: http://pastebin.com/sBfiVQY2

the main issue I'm trying to fix is

SendChatMessage('The Stormlash order is: ' .. for k, v in pairs(Shamans) do print(v) end .. '.  You will get a 10s warning whisper, followed by a "Drop it now!" whisper when you are to drop Stormlash.', 'WHISPER', nil, Shamans[i])

I know the k,v print thing isn't going to work, I was just using that as an illustration for what I would like to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

table.concat(Shamans, ', ') will return a string with the values separated by commas.

You can replace your for loop with that.

You have done me a service I am not worthy of. Thank you.

If you want to do something more complicated with the data, you can construct the string manually by iterating over the list and adding the values to the end.

This allows you to treat names differently if you want, like emphasizing the name of the person you're whispering.

local order = Shamans[1] -- Make a string out of the first name
for i = 2, #Shamans do -- Append each name to the existing string
    order = order .. ', ' .. Shamans[i]
end
SendChatMessage('The Stormlash order is: ' .. order .. '.  You will get a 10s warning whisper, followed by a "Drop it now!" whisper when you are to drop Stormlash.', 'WHISPER', nil, Shamans[i])

Also, you're iterating over the Shamans table to whisper warriors about skull banners in the UNIT_DESTROYED section of your addon.

The downside of c/p code

Additionally, I had to add:

RCC:RegisterEvent('COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED')

to

elseif ((event == 'GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE' or event == 'PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD') and GetNumGroupMembers() > 0) then

in case you caught that too and removed it from the initial register event section.
