Simple Plug 'n Play Duel Decline Script

[JJohnson1988]

I'm working on a simple addon in which you can automatically decline duel requests. Also, this is my first ever addon, mainly for testing purposes, so be nice

Here's what I have so far:

function DamnDuelDecline_OnLoad()
	this:RegisterEvent("DUEL_REQUESTED");
end

function DamnDuelDecline_OnEvent(event)
	-- Determine what faction the player is
	local p = UnitFactionGroup("player");

	if event == "DUEL_REQUESTED" then
		CancelDuel();
		
		if UnitFactionGroup(arg1) ~= p then
			-- If your challenger is of the opposing faction
			DoEmote("NO", arg1);
		else
			SendChatMessage("Uh-uh-uh! You didn't say the magic word!", "SAY");
		end
	end
end

My question is, would this actually work correctly? I already have my .toc and .xml file already set up correctly.

I don't believe you need an xml file for this.

How would I go about making this work without an .xml file then? I know you can create a frame inside the .lua script but that's about it.

Thanks for the response.

Thanks, that helps =)

Ok, this is what I have now:

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent);
local rechallenge = {};

frame:RegisterEvent("DUEL_REQUESTED");

frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, name)
	local message = "Uh-uh-uh!";
	
	if UnitFactionGroup("player") == UnitFactionGroup(name) then
		if not rechallenge[name] then
			message = message .. " You didn't say the magic word!";
		end
	else
		DoEmote("NO", name);
	end
	
	HideUIPanel(StaticPopup1);
	CancelDuel();

	SendChatMessage(message);
	
	rechallenge[name] = true;
end);

It works well except it repeats the message 3 times for some reason. So when someone first duels me it will say "Uh-uh-uh! You didn't say the magic word" thrice, then when that same person duels me again it will say "Uh-uh-uh!" thrice as well.

Any ideas on how to just say the message once?

[Tekkub]

Add a 5-second failsafe so the event handler will only trigger once per barrage of events.

local lasttime = 0
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, name)
	if GetTime() < (lasttime + 5) then return end 

	-- Do crap

	lasttime = GetTime()
end);

Thanks, but it appears this code seems to have fixed it... I used a different function to determine if the challenger is an enemy or not:

local DDD = CreateFrame("Frame", "DamnDuelDecline", UIParent);
local Rechallenge = {};

DDD:RegisterEvent("DUEL_REQUESTED");

DDD:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, challenger)
	local Out = "Uh-uh-uh!";
	
	if not UnitIsEnemy("player", challenger) then
		if not Rechallenge[challenger] then
			Out = Out .. " You didn't say the magic word!";
		end
	else
		Out = "";
		DoEmote("NO", challenger);
	end
	
	HideUIPanel(StaticPopup1);
	CancelDuel();

	SendChatMessage(Out, "SAY");
	
	Rechallenge[challenger] = true;
end);

Now I can release it
