Hi Phanx,

it is always a great pleasure to read you.

I think I am usign your code right now "to summon" the pet, the problem is that I am not able to find now the right function to dismiss it once summoned :-)

I used:

http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/DismissCompanion

and it worked nicely in 5.4.x, but not anymore :-/


I post the entire addon so you can understand better:

-- you can use the addon in a macro like this:
-- /gimb [btn:2] rare; [mod:alt] funny; [mod:shift] remove;
-- so you use mouse:
-- btn:2 to summon a category "rare" pets
-- ALT+btn:1 for the "funny" ones 
-- SHIFT+btn:1 for dismiss the current pet (if any)
-- btn:1 for the full random.
 
-- if categories.lua is not found
MyPets_gimb = {}
 
-- future use
GimbolinoDB = {}
 
local LibPetJournal = LibStub("LibPetJournal-2.0")
local prgname = "|cffffd200gimbolino|r"
local summon_msg = prgname .. " is summoning... "
 
SLASH_GIMBOLINO1 = "/gimbolino"
SLASH_GIMBOLINO2 = "/gimb"
SlashCmdList["GIMBOLINO"] = function(args)  
 
    local category=SecureCmdOptionParse(args);
    local args=SecureCmdOptionParse(args);
    
    if args:lower() == "help" then 
        print(prgname .. " commands")
        print("/gimb help - This help")
        print("/gimb remove - Dismiss an active pets")
        print("/gimb - Random summon a pet from your complete collection")
        print("/gimb <category> - Random summon a pet from your custom <category> ")
        return
        end
    
    if args:lower() == "remove" then 
        print(prgname .. " is dismiss the active companion")
        DismissCompanion("CRITTER")
        return
    end     
 
    if not category then 
        return
    end
    
    category=category:lower()
    
    if category=="" then        
        local number=random(1,LibPetJournal:NumPets())
        for i,petid in LibPetJournal:IteratePetIDs() do 
            local _, _, _, _, _, _, _, name, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,_,_ = C_PetJournal.GetPetInfoByPetID(petid)
             if (i == number) then 
                    C_PetJournal.SummonPetByGUID(petid)
                    print (summon_msg .. name:lower())
            end
        end
    
    elseif MyPets_gimb[category] then   
            local number=random(1,#MyPets_gimb[category])
            local picked=MyPets_gimb[category][number]:lower()
            local msg = prgname .. " error:\ngimb was trying to summon \"" .. picked .. "\" from \"" .. category .. "\" category, but this was not found in your pets list.\nPlease check this."        
            for i,petid in LibPetJournal:IteratePetIDs() do 
                local _, _, _, _, _, _, _, name, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,_,_ = C_PetJournal.GetPetInfoByPetID(petid)
                if name:lower() == picked then 
                    C_PetJournal.SummonPetByGUID(petid)
                    msg = summon_msg .. name:lower()
                    break
                end
            end
            print(msg)                  
    else
        print(prgname .. " unable to find category ",category)
    end
end

Thanks really very much for your time.
