HELP: Open Flightpath on Bind

[sid67]

I'm trying to create a one-button macro to open up the Flightmap. I'm sick of clicking on the vendor, then clicking showme flight paths, then picking one. I just want to stand near him and punch one marco that will open the flight path. I've searched all over WoW_Wiki and I can't find any functions that open the Taxi window or allow you to interact with the vendor. If I knew the name of the frame, could I just open it that way? Any other ideas?

I'm actually trying to do the same thing basically with trainers, I can't seem to find how to open the window properly without an actual click.

It's impossible to initiate an NPC dialog from your code, but you can automate your interaction with one. Here is my fast-n-dirty solution I actually use:

/Interface/AddOns/Passenger/Passenger.lua

Passenger = CreateFrame('Frame')
Passenger:SetScript('OnEvent', function()
	if event ~= 'GOSSIP_SHOW' then return end
	if GetGossipActiveQuests() or GetGossipAvailableQuests() then return end
	function pairs2(t)
		local index = nil
		return function()
			index, value1 = next(t, index)
			if ( index ) then
				index, value2 = next(t, index)
				return index / 2, value1, value2
			end
		end
	end
	GetGossipOptions()
	for index, title, type in pairs2({GetGossipOptions()}) do
		if type == 'taxi' then
			SelectGossipOption(index)
			return
		end
	end
end)
Passenger:RegisterEvent('GOSSIP_SHOW')
