Created page with '{{userfunc}}  Returns the function called when using <code>/''cmd''</code>. slashFunction = {{PAGENAME}}(cmd) == Function Parameters == === Argumen…'

New page

{{userfunc}} 

Returns the function called when using <code>/''cmd''</code>.
slashFunction = {{PAGENAME}}(cmd)

== Function Parameters ==
=== Arguments ===
:(cmd)
:;cmd : the slash command to search for

=== Returns ===
:the actual function called when executing the ''cmd''.

== Example ==
<pre>local func = GetSlashFunc("/quit")
SLASH_MYQUIT1 = "/quit"
SLASH_MYQUIT2 = "/exit"
SlashCmdList["MYQUIT"] = function(msg)
if msg == "now" then
ForceQuit()
elseif func then
func()
end
end</pre>
==Result==
: Quit now instead of in 30 seconds when <code>/quit now</code> is used.

==Code==
-- returns a slash command function on success or an ''informative'' error function on failure.
local function GetSlashFunc(cmd)
if not cmd then
return function(cmd) print("You must supply a command.") end
end
if cmd:sub(1, 1) ~= "/" then
cmd = "/" .. cmd
end
for id, val in pairs(_G) do
if id:sub(1, 5) == "SLASH" and val == cmd then
local slashID = id:match("SLASH_(%a*)%d*")
return SlashCmdList[slashID]
end
end
-- Didn't find one?
return function(cmd) print(cmd, "doesn't exist.") end
end

== Notes ==
* This will not work to hook secure commands such as <code>/target</code>, <code>/cast</code>, <code>/focus</code>, etc. The functions that are called with those commands are not globally accessible to addon scripts and, if they were, you would just end up breaking stuff.
* If an addon creates its slash command after yours, yours will no longer work (as per usual).
