Hi. I'd like to write addon which call "Chest event!" at 11 am and 7 pm. I tested

sendMacro("GetTime()");

and

Code: Select all

sendMacro("GetGameTime()");

but that commands don't work

--all code from .lua file is

Code: Select all

function Chest_OnLoad(this)
	DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Chest addon loaded.", 0.67, 0, 0.85)
end


function Chest_onEvent(this, event)
	player:update()
	sendMacro("GetTime()");
		if GameTime == 10.59 then
			DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Chest event!", 0.67, 0, 0.85)
		end
		if  GameTime == 18.59 then
			DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Chest event!", 0.67, 0, 0.85)
		end
	end

Are there any other commands like "GetTime()" ?

you could probably use the operating system time if using bot, not sure it would work as an addon.
Do a search for d303fix, that is an addon which attempts to get the current server time by looking at sales in the item shop.

This would probably be the best function to use with bot.

If you want the real time why not just use the bot's time.

Code: Select all

Command> print(os.date())
02/02/13 04:58:22

That prints a formated string which is not that much use but you can have it return a table of values

Code: Select all

Command> table.print(os.date("*t"))
table: 0646A0B0
day:    2
isdst:  true
year:   2013
month:  2
yday:   33
min:    0
wday:   7
sec:    16
hour:   5

So you could do something like

Code: Select all

checktime = os.date("*t")
if checktime.hour == 7 or checktime.hour == 11 then

Yeah, I can do it with bot, but it's a bit uncomfortable to use it with bot

Thank you for help, I give up

Mayby later

Sorry I missed that you wanted an addon. Well with d303Fix installed you should still be able to use os.date("*t")

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2013 1:33 pm**

So, I must rewrite d303fix addon or can i just rewrite my addon?

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2013 1:36 pm**

With d303fix installed you can use the 'os' functions in your addon.

Ok thanks, i'll test it tonight

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2013 3:41 pm**

Code: Select all

function Chest_OnEvent(this, event)
	os.date ([!format [, time]])
	checktime = os.date("*t")
	if checktime.hour == 11 or checktime.hour == 19 then
	SlashCommand("/say Chest event!)
	end
end

-- not work... how to do that?

try not to confuse bot code with in game code.

Code: Select all

function Chest_OnEvent(this, event)

that tells me you have put this as an addon code.

Code: Select all

SlashCommand("/say Chest event!)

that is bot code.

Try using

Code: Select all

SendSystemChat("Chest event!")

or

Code: Select all

SendChatMessage("Chest event!", "SAY")

I thought he was trying to create an addon.

I'm suspecting, Jamnyk, that you just don't know how to create an addon. It's very different to creating a userfunction. It's easy enough to add some functions to the game but if you want something automatically triggered by the update event for example then you need to create a frame in an xml file for your addon and register the event you want to use as a trigger.

Yes, it's my first addon

__
My expectations for this addon are :
-check time
-if time = 11 [am] or 7 [pm] then do [say] "Chest event!" then wait 1[hour] then do check time
-if time > 11 [am] or < 11 [am] then wait 30[seconds] then do check time
-if time > 7 [pm] or < 7 [pm] then wait 30[seconds] then do check time
__
You said it's more difficult than i think...

Code: Select all

<Ui xmlns="http://www.runewaker.com/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.runewaker.com/UI.xsd">

	<Script file="Chest.lua"/>

	<Frame name="ChestFrame" parent="UIParent" hidden="true">

		<Scripts>

			<OnLoad>
				Chest_OnLoad(this);
			</OnLoad>

			<OnEvent>
				Chest_OnEvent(this, event);
			</OnEvent>


		</Scripts>

	</Frame>

</Ui>

__
It's my .xml file
__

Code: Select all

WarRegister.xml

__
and it's my .toc file ;D
Do you know any addons similar to the one that I want to create? Maybe I could be inspired on it?
