need help retrieving player Lvl

[aussiexile]

hey im looking for a function that will retrieve a players lvl for outputing to a chat channel.

UnitLevel("unit") only returns my lvl....if usd in a filter anyone else's lvl shows up as 0

any help muchly appreciated

UnitLevel("player") returns your own level.
UnitLevel("target") returns the level of your target, or -1 if your target is unfriendly and a higher level than your own.
UnitLevel("mouseover") is the same as the above, except it works for players you have highlighted with the cursor.
UnitLevel("focus") works for those you did /focus on.

You can also add an extra "target" to the argument (e.g. "mouseovertarget")

You will most likely need a /who query to find the level of anything else.

Sorry if that's not much help to you.

This is for the gratz mod yeah?

http://www.wowwiki.com/API_SendWho

charname, guildname, level, race, class, zone, classFileName = GetWhoInfo(index)


Since this is for the users guild, you can search using the guild name plus the player name.

why not use the guild roster?

Actually that plus a handler for people around you using the levelling event would be easier.

Yes this is for the gratz mod. How do i get the lvl from the GetWhoInfo()??
and Send Who sends a system messages doesnt it??? is there a way to stop that?

For a beginning coder, I suggest going through wowwiki, there's the wowprogramming site (you should also pick up a copy of the book), and to learn lua, there's http://www.lua.org/pil/

for i = 1, GetNumGuildMembers() do
     local name, rank, rankIndex, level, class, zone, note, officernote, online, status, classFileName = GetGuildRosterInfo(i)
     if name == "NameOfPlayerYouWant" then
          -- do your thing here
          break
     end
end
