Adding char names to addon via slash command

Hi so I have addon that helps me distribute mounts and loot in aq40 and I would like to create an exemption table using a slash command.

At the moment I call the slash command via:

Code:

SLASH_NLOOT1 = "/nl"



SlashCmdList.NLOOT = function(input)

        input = string.lower(input)

        if input == "log" then

                NL_LOGGING = not NL_LOGGING

                local word = "Disabled"

                if NL_LOGGING then

                        word = "Enabled"

                end

                print("NLoot: Logging " .. word)

                return

        elseif input == "resetmount" then

                mountList = {}

                lootList = {}

                mountDistributed = 0

                print("NLoot: Mount list and all history have also been reset")

                return

        elseif input == "history" then

                local lootCount = 0

                for i,v in pairs(lootList) do

                        print(i .. ": " .. v)

                        lootCount = lootCount + 1

                end

                if lootCount == 0 then

                        print("No items have been distributed yet")

                end

                return

        elseif input == "masteraq" then

                NL_Master = true

                local playerName = UnitName("player")

                SetLootMethod("Master",playerName,"1")

                return        

        elseif input == "master" then

                NL_Master = true

                local playerName = UnitName("player")

                SetLootMethod("Master",playerName,"2")

                return

        elseif input == "" then

        else

                print("NLoot: Invalid Command, Input '/nl help' to get a list of available commands")

                return

        end



        if NL_ENABLED then

                NL_ENABLED = false

                print("NLoot: Disabled")

        else

                NL_ENABLED = true

                print("NLoot: Enabled")

        end

end

I wonder if I can add a slash command "/nl hasmount Playername"
where the lua would handle the Player name and pass it to an array or table. this way I could then make the addon check if the player is on that list or not.

Thank you for your help.

Why not replace:

Code:

else

        print("NLoot: Invalid Command, Input '/nl help' to get a list of available commands")

        return

with:

Code:

else

        -- if required check if input is a player in your group/raid

                TableOfPlayers[input] = true

        -- else

        --        print("NLoot: Invalid Command, Input '/nl help' to get a list of available commands")

        -- end

        return

Otherwise:

Code:

else

        local command, param1 = string.split(" ", input)

        if command = "hm" then -- hm for hasmount 

                TableOfPlayers[param1] = true

        else

                print("NLoot: Invalid Command, Input '/nl help' to get a list of available commands")

        end

                print("NLoot: Invalid Command, Input '/nl help' to get a list of available commands")

        end

So I adapted to what you said:

Code:

elseif input == "print" then

                for i,v in ipairs(mountList) do print(i,v) end

                return

        elseif input == "" then

        else

                local command, param1 = string.split(" ", input)

                if command == "hm" then -- hm for hasmount 

                        mountList[param1] = time()

                else

                        print("NLoot: Invalid Command, Input '/nl help' to get a list of available commands")

                end

also added a print to try if the table was correct but when i do the print command nothing happens.

Use pairs()

Code:

for i,v in pairs(mountList) do print(i,v) end

ipairs() is only for indexed tables (arrays), and will only work if there are no gaps in the table.

If your table uses keys in place of indices, or there are gaps in your table, use pairs() as Fizzlemizz suggested.
