SavedVariables table with unknown keys

[Asalas77]

Hey I'm trying to write a simple addon that would count how many times a player casted Nourish. I want to store data in a table indexed by played names, but the table is not being saved to SavedVariables.

I defined a SavedVariable in .toc file:

## SavedVariables: NourishCounter

And here's my addon:

local frame = CreateFrame("FRAME", "AddonFrame");
frame:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED");
frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");
local function eventHandler(self, event, ...)
     if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and arg1 == "NourishAddon" then
        if not NourishCount then NourishCount = {} end
    end
 
    args = {...};
    if args[2] == "SPELL_HEAL" then
        if(args[10] == "Nourish") then
            caster = args[4];
            if NourishCount[caster] then 
                NourishCount[caster] = NourishCount[caster] + 1;
            else
                NourishCount[caster] = 1;
            end 
            print(caster .. " count: " .. NourishCount[caster]);
        end
    end
end
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", eventHandler);

Within one login period the counter works fine, but the NourishCounter in saved vars file is always nil. I tried using a regular number variable for just my own casts and it is saved correctly. I believe the problem is that the table keys are not defined when creating the table for the first time, but I don't know how to work around that.

Your SV name is 'NourishCounter', not 'NourishCount'

local playerName = UnitName("player");
 
local frame = CreateFrame("FRAME", "AddonFrame");
frame:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED");
frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");
 
local function eventHandler(self, event, ...)
    if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and ... == "NourishAddon" then
        if not NourishCounter then NourishCounter = {} end
 
        self:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");
    elseif event == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" then
        local _, subEvent, _, _, sourceName, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, spellName = ...;
 
        if subEvent == "SPELL_HEAL" then
            if sourceName == playerName and spellName == "Nourish" then
                NourishCounter[sourceName] = NourishCounter[sourceName] and NourishCounter[sourceName] + 1 or 1;
            end
        end
 
        print(sourceName .. " count: " .. NourishCounter[sourceName]);
    end
end
 
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", eventHandler);

I haven't tested it, but guess it should work fine.

Oh wow, how did I miss that :P

Thank you.
