PLAYER_LEVEL_UP event

[glupikreten]

Hi,

Quick question

If i do something like this

print(UnitMaxXP("player"))
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LEVEL_UP")
f:SetScript(
	"OnEvent",
	function()
		print(UnitMaxXP("player"))
	end
)

Shouldn't i get different prints? Because for some reason i get the same... Like there is some delay or something in updating new player xp cap... if i put timer in that function with 1-2 seconds i get new value of max xp.

Is that like normal behaviour?

It might have a delay similar to the player level function UnitLevel. But at least with that the PLAYER_LEVEL_CHANGED shows the old and new levels ... but ... you could try that event to see if it triggers after PLAYER_LEVEL_UP and may be enough for the new functions to have access to the new values.

PLAYER_LEVEL_CHANGED works...

I found PLAYER_LEVEL_UP and just didnt think of searching for other event that fires when player levels up... (or levels can go down too?)

In any case thank you.

Although not applicable here since you found an event that works.... this is an alternative solution you could use when its necessary to defer an update:

local function doSomething()
    -- do something
end
 
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("SOME_EVENT")
f:HookScript("OnEvent", function()
    C_Timer.After(0, doSomething)  -- wait until the next frame to do something
end)

Oh never crossed my mind to try something after 0 seconds...

Ill remember that.

Thank you
