Need a simple yes/no dialog window on raid join to combat log

[Azza2]

Hello,

Hopefully my request is quite simple, it doesn't need to be anything fancy, but I would like a dialog window to appear in the center of the screen on joining a raid asking if I wish to combat log this raid - with yes/no buttons below it.

If Yes is selected then it should run /combatlog, if No is selected then no action should be taken.

It would be greatly appreciated since I forget to combatlog our raids a lot for WWS reports. Thanks

I would love such an addon.

I just made this

I am going to test it tomorrow afternoon before I release it.

I agree, the idea is good!

Did you try Loggerhead already?

I'd have to agree, it logs automatically when you enter a zone you want to log. It just takes about 5-10 minutes to set up for everything (shouldn't take 5 minutes, but you might need to go to the restroom before you're finished).

Gave loggerhead a go but couldn't find its config options anywhere, nothing in fubar, or when I try to use broker2fubar.

/lh or /loggerhead does nothing (well /lh is lightheaded so I'm not sure if Loggerhead is using /lh too and is causing a conflict). Getting unnecessarily spammed on zone switch so have disabled for now.

edit: never mind that, found it in Addons Menu. Still, it lacks the Northrend instances.

Something like this should work:

local f = CreateFrame("frame")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...) if self[event] then return self[event](self, event, ...) end end)
f:RegisterEvent("RAID_INSTANCE_WELCOME")

-- set to true to automatically start the log
local autoLog = false

-- fired when entering an instance that has a reset timer
function f:RAID_INSTANCE_WELCOME()
    
    if autoLog == true then
	LoggingCombat(1)
    else
	StaticPopup_Show("ENABLE_LOGGING_ON_RAID");
    end

end

-- simple dialog
StaticPopupDialogs["ENABLE_LOGGING_ON_RAID"] = {
  text = "Do you want to start logging?",
  button1 = "Yes",
  button2 = "No",
  OnAccept = function()
      LoggingCombat(1);
  end,
  timeout = 0,
  whileDead = 1,
  hideOnEscape = 1
};

Kyc has it pretty much covered

Gave this a go last night, but it keeps popping up upon re-entering the raid instance after a wipe despite logging being enabled already, as well as showing when doing heroics which I don't really want to log.

Would have preferred it if it showed once when joining a "raid" group rather than having the event fired when zoning in a zone that has a reset timer, but can't have everything perfect, thanks though

Revised for joining a raid and only asking once per session

local f = CreateFrame("frame")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...) if self[event] then return self[event](self, event, ...) end end)
f:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")

-- set to true to automatically start the log
local autoLog = false
local currentlyLogging = false

-- fired when joining/starting a raid
function f:RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE()
    
    if currentlyLogging == true then
        return
    end
    if autoLog == true then
	LoggingCombat(1)
	currentlyLogging = true
    else
	StaticPopup_Show("ENABLE_LOGGING_ON_RAID");
    end

end

-- simple dialog
StaticPopupDialogs["ENABLE_LOGGING_ON_RAID"] = {
  text = "Do you want to start logging?",
  button1 = "Yes",
  button2 = "No",
  OnAccept = function()
      LoggingCombat(1);
      currentlyLogging = true
  end,
  timeout = 0,
  whileDead = 1,
  hideOnEscape = 1
};

Cheers, much <3

clean version, in case you just want it to work with no popups

local addon = CreateFrame('Frame')
addon:RegisterEvent('RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE')
addon:SetScript('OnEvent', function()
	if(not LoggingCombat()) then
		LoggingCombat(1)
	end
end)
