Nothing

Details

This function accepts up to three pairs of LFG values:

Each category must be the index of one of the values retrieved with GetLFGTypes()

Each objective must be the index of one of the values retrieved with GetLFGTypeEntries(category)

The first invalid value pair you specify will prevent all following value pairs from being parsed.

This function, much like any other LFG function, has highly inconsistent code. For instance it checks for argument 4 being a string after having processed all value-pairs. If this evaluates to true, it pushes argument 7 onto the return stack. This suggests that the function once had the prototype SetLookingForGroup(category, objective, unknown, message) and that this check hasn't been adjusted yet.

Example

This registers you only for the second objective in the category 'Zone':

SetLookingForGroup(4, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 'Free hat!')
