Do not rely on any vanilla add-ons or UI code. Classic UI/API is based off of BFA, you're more likely to get a retail add-on to work in classic than a super old vanilla add-on or something from a private server.

D'oh.. it didn't even occur to me that I can make my own message box rofl

A frame with a border, and YES/NO/OK buttons as needed and a text box or two ( title, content ) and turn it into a template to use as needed.

If you just want to know approximately how far away your pet is, you can use IsItemInRange and IsSpellInRange.

That's how LibRangeCheck-2.0 works.

Lua is a single thread language, so going without testing, I'd say sequential.

I have the GUID and the name of the dead monster I want to target (for looting). Is there any way to do it?

I tried using the macros /targetexact and /target with the name of the unit, but they target a living monster of the same name instead of the dead one. I also tried /targetenemy, but again, it only targets alive monsters :(

This addon has been around for a while now, but I've only just decided to make a thread about it.

The primary function of DuelResponse is to act as a duel shield, by instantly declining any and all requests for duels and Pet Battles which get sent your way.

However, it's not just for people who dislike dueling; it can also be used by those who enjoy it.

FULL LIST OF FEATURES

• Any duels received while you are AFK or Busy will be automatically declined (although you can still hold down Control or Alt to let requests through).
• Any duels received while you have Resurrection Sickness will be automatically declined.
  • You cannot override this feature by using the Control or Alt keys.
• Any duels received while you have high World Latency (default 250ms) can be automatically declined.
• Any duels received while you have low framerate (default 15FPS) can be automatically declined.
• Most addon features can be enabled or disabled via the /dr command.
• Holding down the Control or Alt keys will allow a duel or pet battle request through.
• Tracks how many requests are declined.
  • Tracking occurs over all characters, as well as per character.
  • Good for nerds like me who like statistics.
• Can also be used to block pet battle requests.

PLUGINS

DuelResponse comes with two plugins, Blacklist and Whisper; these are included as separate addons, and can be disabled or enabled as the user sees fit.

• BLACKLIST PLUGIN
  • Allows you to decline duels from named players, such as that Level 120 who keeps challenging your Level 19 twink.
  • When a player on the blacklist attempts to duel you, their request is declined; players who are not on the blacklist can continue to challenge you until you add them or enable the option to decline all incoming requests.
  • Players who are on your list have 'Blacklisted' in their character tooltip when moused over.
• WHISPER PLUGIN
  • Allows the addon to send whispers to people when it declines their request.
  • Messages can be customised to say whatever the user wishes.
  • Sending of messages can be turned off.

LANGUAGES

DuelResponse is currently available in every language, although some localisations need a lot of work. Localisation is handled over at CurseForge; a link can be found in Localisation.lua.

My goal is to have a function run when the either the backpack, equipped bag, guild bank or the player bank open and close. I want to hook that trigger but when I download and check other bag addons I have had very little success in understanding how and where they hook the function. Is there a way to determine for each bag addon what or where the hooking function resides?

You can use /fstack to check the bag addon's frame name, and use frame:HookScript("OnShow", func) frame:HookScript("OnHide", func) to check them. It's more better than use secure hook.

A-ha! In that case, instead of rewriting to figure that out, I just created the reputation colours manually in the options table. After all, there are only eight of them, no big deal.

hi!
I discussed this with the maintainer of ArkInventory and we found a solution here: https://github.com/arkayenro/arkinventory/issues/1211

I'm using ItemRack together with ArkInventory now, after applying the patch he provided.
I don't know if he officially released it though.

I've been working on bringing an older addon up to speed for Classic wow and for the most part it is working except for the tooltips.... when you hover over a material or reagent the tooltip shows for just a brief second and is then over ridden by the default tooltip... however while i have the addon aux open and hover over and item in the aux window the tooltip shows just fine... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Those sites will do for the most part, although I suggest gamepedia. With some purposeful differences, Classic API is based off of retail (BfA), so an add-on for retail is more likely to work than an old add-on for vanilla or one from a pserver.

Now that I think of it, your binds are saved in a file:

WTF\Account\<accountName>\bindings-cache.wtf

If you're using per-character bindings:

WTF\Account\<accountName>\<serverName>\<characterName>\bindings-cache.wtf

Occasionally save copies of that somewhere instead of a screenshot.

I have a very simple add-on that displays four pieces of information textually instead of with a visual representation - each on their own frame. Each one can be turned on an off at the discretion of the user. I would like these frames to all be anchored to each other horizontally. Easy enough right? Anchor left edge of Frame2 to the right edge of Frame 1, Frame3 to Frame2 in the same manner, etc. But what if Frame2 is disabled? Then Frame3 needs to be anchored to Frame1.

I tried to run Frame:GetChildren() on an anchor frame to count the children and anchor them to the anchor frame itself instead of to each other, but Frame:GetChildren() returns a table of tables, and the "#" operator doesn't count tables.

As a bonus, I would like the user to be able to change the order of the frames - 3, 1, 4, 2; 4, 2, 3, 1; etc.

The question of how to do this has consumed me all day today. Perhaps it's the lack of sleep, or perhaps the lack of Lua experience. Either way, any help would be much appreciated.
