Stuck trying to load a table of varibles

[CrazyCactuaR]

This must be a common cry for help I'm sorry but i really cannot get my head round it really. I've been spending alot of time browsing through google and wowinterface but any examples i seem to find i'm having trouble understanding how to actually load up the settings that i've saved.

So my TOC file saves MyAddonSettings which is a table

My table is laid out as following

MyAddonSettings = {
Var1 = true
Var2 = false
Var3 = false
Var4 = false
}

I've setup the addon's OnEvent to trigger for "ADDON_LOADED" which i presume is when my table var will be ready to be read.

This is where i'm stuck, I honestly cannot figure out how to load the settings onto the addon.

Any help regarding this would help me out and thank you in advance.

## Interface: 50200
## SavedVariables: MyAddonSettings

local addonName = ...

MyAddonSettings = { -- this acts like default settings for the table
  Var1 = true,
  Var2 = false,
  Var3 = false,
  Var4 = false,
}

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(f, event, name)
  if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and name == addonName then
    print(MyAddonSettings, MyAddonSettings.Var1) -- once this happens, if "MyAddonSettings" has loaded something that was saved, it automatically repalces the values that MyAddonSettings returns, otherwise the default table mentioned on the top of the file is what this table will contain
  end
end)

By the time ADDON_LOADED fires the variable has already been overwritten by the one from SavedVariables, the event is essentially just notifying you that "MyAddonSettings" now contains the loaded values.

Thank you very much
