simple function quest

[alimjocox]

thx to WoWI community i've become alot more adept @ Lua.

local function LFG_COMPLETION_REWARD()
	SendChatMessage("Random Dungeon Reward Received! Thanks for Group.", "PARTY", nil, nil);
	print("Random Dungeon Completed.");
	LeaveParty();
end

automatically leaves a dungeon (as you can see). My question is SendChatMesage doesn't manage to (lets use the word) execute before i LeaveParty() how do I make sure it does?, and its so minor and retarded, but I feel sooo rude leaving right the second a boss dies.

You'd have to wait until the message is actually sent. Something like the below will send the message and once it sees that you sent the message it'll drop group.

	local finishedMsg = "Random Dungeon Reward Received! Thanks for Group."
	local function CHAT_MSG_PARTY(msg, author)
		if( msg == finishedMsg and author == UnitName("player") ) then
			LeaveParty()
		end
	end

	local function LFG_COMPLETION_REWARD)
		SendChatMessage(finishedMsg, "PARTY")
		print("Random Dungeon Completed.")
	end

For that to work, you will of course have to register that event and set your local function as an OnEvent handler.

or, register for the event CHAT_MSG_PARTY within the LFG_COMPLETION_REWARD function even. In the CHAT_MSG_PARTY function you can then unregister it.

local function LFG_COMPLETION_REWARD()
	AddOn:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_PARTY")
	AddOn:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, CHAT_MSG_PARTY, msg, author)
		if( msg == finishedMsg and author == UnitName("player") ) then
			LeaveParty()
                        AddOn:UnregisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_PARTY")
		end
	end)
	SendChatMessage(finishedMsg, "PARTY")	
	aMessage("Random Dungeon Completed.")
end

This is what I ended up using, thx alot for the help I'm still getting familiar with the WoW API and Events.

thx much once again really appreciate the communities help and patience.

While that works, a more correct way of doing it is the below. That way you are creating the function only once, instead of every time you finish a dungeon.

AddOn:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, CHAT_MSG_PARTY, msg, author)
	if( msg == finishedMsg and author == UnitName("player") ) then
		LeaveParty()
		AddOn:UnregisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_PARTY")
	end
end)
local function LFG_COMPLETION_REWARD()
	AddOn:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_PARTY")
	SendChatMessage(finishedMsg, "PARTY")	
	aMessage("Random Dungeon Completed.")
end
