Subject: How do addons communicate with other addons |
| |
Hi guys,
Potentially looking into making an addon for the guild, basically a calendar of sorts for raids, but is interactive with the entirety of the guild.
The goal would be: GMs can set a raid date, when that date is set the add on would read that it has been set and when a player logs on it would communicate that, then ask the player if he can make it or not, then communicate that back to the GM who can parse the data.
I'm curious as to how robust the support is for players communciating with each other invisibly through addons? I know CTRaid seems to do a bit of it.
I'm not a complete Lua noob, I shipped a game using that script language, but I am new to it from the WOW development standpoint. Just curious before I start investigating this if its even possible.
1. Can addons communicate with other addons across global circumstances? (IE can a raid leader who is in Orgrimmar receive confirmation from a person confirming their raid attendance in UC?)
2. Can addons commandeer the mail system, so I could potentially use that to move data whenever users went to their mailboxes? IE player receives prompt, clicks yes/no and the next time he is at a mailbox it automatically sends that to the GM.

Q u o t e:
Darkwatch, published by Capcom. Was a designer, mostly levels, but spent more than a good amount of time with Lua and XML. Looking over folks' scripts in WoW brings back a lot of memories.
Actually I believe at least one of the folks who worked on Darkwatch is with you guys now as an animator.
Very cool. :)
