[Request] ...hic!

[Jigain]

So, since both my RP guilds enjoyed my latest request here, I figured I'd toss up another idea I've had for a long while.

Alcohol is a very interesting part of this game. Unfortunately, buying large quantities of alcohol in order to roleplay a constantly drunk dwarf gets a bit... expensive in the long run. So here's what I had in mind.

I want an addon that filters outgoing messages (like Dwarvenizer / Trollizer, or Eloquence), changing most (probably around 75-80%) of "S"s into "SH"s, and (preferrably disableable (is that even a word?), through interface or maybe as a stand-alone addon) adding "...hic!" at random after sentences. Just like when you're drunk in the game.

Anyone feel like they can tackle this? I'd greatly appreciate it, as would most of my RP friends.

Oh, and if anyone know of an addon that can do this already, please say so.

I just whipped this up in 10 mins...
There's a 50% chance it'll tag " ...hic!" at the end and a 25% chance per letter to replace "s" with "sh".
Toggle with /drunk, it'll respond with the localized drunk messages when toggling.

local function Drunkenize(match)
    if (match=="S" or match=="s") and math.random()<0.25 then
        return match.."h";
    else
        return match;
    end
end
 
local OldChat=SendChatMessage;
local function NewChat(...)
    local msg=(...);
    msg=msg:gsub("[Ss]",Drunkenize);
    if math.random()<0.5 then
        msg=msg.." ...hic!";
    end
    return OldChat(msg,select(2,...));
end
 
SlashCmdList["DRUNK"]=function()
    if SendChatMessage==OldChat then
        print("|cffffcc00"..DRUNK_MESSAGE_SELF3.."|r");
        SendChatMessage=NewChat;
    else
        print("|cffffcc00"..DRUNK_MESSAGE_SELF1.."|r");
        SendChatMessage=OldChat;
    end
end;
SLASH_DRUNK1="/drunk";
 
print((...).." loaded. Type /drunk to toggle.");

Cheers! Looks like just what I wanted, though I may fiddle a little bit with the random numbers.

So if I understand it right, /drunk will toggle both "...hic!" and the slurring S's on/off?

Yep
