Need help in Lua! Add0n code

[Skeetism]

Hey guys first time posting and making an add0n.

Idea behind it is:
- Check yourself and all members in your party for the Blinding Peck Debuff from the Eye of Aszhara dungeon.
- If debuff is found on someone, play soud snipette.

I'm new to Lua and everything I have done has been from reverse engineering other addons similiar to the one I want to make however I cannot get it to work and I'm unsure as to where I have gone wrong.

Anyone with the ability to help me please do I'll love you forever!

local BLINDING_PECK_ID = 195561

local BLINDING_PECK = GetSpellInfo(BLINDING_PECK_ID)

local frame = CreateFrame("FRAME")

frame:RegisterEvent("UnitDebuff", "player", "party1", "party2", "party3", "party4")

frame:SetScript("OnEvent", eventHandler)
	local name = UnitDebuff("player", "party1", "party2", "party3", "party4" BLINDING_PECK)

local function eventHandler(self, event, ...)
 PlaySoundFile([[Interface\AddOns\Segullspeck\media\Seagullspeck.ogg]], "Master")
end

First thing i notice: UnitDebuff is not an event. Events are written in all capital letters. The event you are looking for is UNIT_AURA.

this should do it:

local Blinding_Peck = GetSpellInfo(195561)
 
local frame = CreateFrame("FRAME")
 
frame:RegisterUnitEvent("UNIT_AURA", "player", "party1", "party2", "party3", "party4")
 
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, unitID)
    
    if UnitDebuff(unitID, Blinding_Peck) then
        PlaySoundFile("Interface\\AddOns\\Segullspeck\\media\\Seagullspeck.ogg", "Master")
    end
end)

Did RegisterUnitEvent change, because last time I looked it took a maximum of two units, yet your example code lists five.

If that is still true, then use RegisterEvent instead, and check the unit.

My bad didn't check that. Then this should do it:

local Blinding_Peck = GetSpellInfo(195561)
local Group_UnitIDs = {
player = true,
party1 = true,
party2 = true,
party3 = true,
party4 = true
}
local frame = CreateFrame("FRAME")
 
frame:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")
 
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, unitID)
    
    if Group_UnitIDs[unitID] and UnitDebuff(unitID, Blinding_Peck) then
        PlaySoundFile("Interface\\AddOns\\Segullspeck\\media\\Seagullspeck.ogg", "Master")
    end
end)
