Addon that whisper welcome message to new raid members.

[SlashdotXxX]

Hello.

I wonder if there some Addon out there that could manage that when I invite someone to the raid via the LFR tool(I'm the Raidleader building my own HFC Heroic Raid @Archimonde for example) they should get a whisper from me saying "Welcome to this evenings raid, I want to inform you that $[ITEM] from Archimonde are reserved."

The reason I want this is because many times ppl miss the note in the LFR channel, and I wanna prevent any sad members of the raid.

Regards/Slashdotxx

Well, I'm not sure your idea would actually solve the problem (people who don't read the LFM message before asking for an invite aren't much more likely to read a whisper), but it wouldn't be difficult to implement:

local MESSAGE

local pattern = gsub(ERR_RAID_MEMBER_ADDED_S, "%%s", "(.+)")

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, message)
    if not MESSAGE then return end

    local whoJoined = strmatch(message, pattern)
    if not whoJoined then return end
    
    SendChatMessage(MESSAGE, "WHISPER", nil, whoJoined)
end)

SlashCmdList.MSG_ON_RAID_JOIN = function(message)
    message = message and string.trim(message) or ""
    if strlower(message) == "off" then
        MESSAGE = nil
        print(NORMAL_FONT_COLOR_CODE .. "MsgOnRaidJoin:|r Auto-message is now disabled.")
    elseif strlen(message) > 0 then
        MESSAGE = message
        print(NORMAL_FONT_COLOR_CODE .. "MsgOnRaidJoin:|r Auto-message is now:")
        print("    " .. MESSAGE)
    elseif MESSAGE then
        print(NORMAL_FONT_COLOR_CODE .. "MsgOnRaidJoin:|r Auto-message is currently:")
        print("    " .. MESSAGE)
    else
        print(NORMAL_FONT_COLOR_CODE .. "MsgOnRaidJoin:|r Auto-message is currently disabled.")
    end
end

SLASH_MSG_ON_RAID_JOIN1 = "/mrj"

Set the message:
/mrj Welcome to this evenings raid, I want to inform you that $[ITEM] from Archimonde are reserved.

Clear the message:
/mrj off

Get the current message state:
/mrj

The message is not saved between login sessions, and the default state is "off" until you set a message for the current session.

You can use http://addon.bool.no/ to turn the above code into an addon.
