savedVariables returning nil
 
I'm having trouble getting my saved variables to work...

In the following, "if GOLDMetrics.savedVariables" is returning nil despite happening after I create my savedVariables, resulting in "function expected instead of nil." Thing is, it's also not showing the "no saved variables" message I've put under else. I'm not sure what's going on.

Code:
GOLDMetrics = GOLDMetrics or {}
GOLDMetrics.name = "GOLDMetrics"
GOLDMetrics.variableVersion = 2

Your EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED is commented so I assume your addon never loads properly.

Use EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED to Init once, it will fire for each addon so make sure you check for your addon''s name and after that unregister this event again!
In there register the EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED event (this will fire again and again, if not unregistered, on EACH zone change with loading screen, teleport etc.).


Basically addons should always start like this, unless you need another usecase. Else your addons will init before other addons/dependencies like LibAddonMenu and LibChatMessage etc. are loaded and initialized!


Lua Code:
  1. EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(GOLDMetrics.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, function(eventId, addonName)
  2.    --any of the other addons currently loading?
  3.    if addonName ~=  GOLDMetrics.name then return end
  4.  
  5.    --my addon laoding
  6.    EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent(GOLDMetrics.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)
  7.  
  8.    --Init saved vars etc.
  9.    local settings = ZO_SavedVars:New*
  10.    --->Before EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED the savedvars will be nil! So only assign them here, afterwards
  11.  
  12.    --Register other events
  13.    EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(GOLDMetrics.name, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED, function(eventId, primary)
  14.     ----After chat has been initialized and player loaded into the ingame world
  15.    end)
  16. end)

I haven't been able to get on addon loaded to work. When I put stuff under it, that stuff is never triggered, even if I remove the if statement I use to gate if from being triggered by other addons.

Baertram 04/26/24 03:03 PM
You got a typo in there then, or did something else wrong (filenames of lua in your txt got a typo or whatever).

Code:
if addonName ~= GOLDMetrics.name then return end
Watch out that the name in GOLDMetrics.name is compared here with your Addon's folder and txt file name in live/AddOns!
So if "GOLDMetrics" is not your folder and txt file name you need to change for the EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED the name chekc to your folder & txt file name!!!



Lua Code:
  1. GOLDMetrics = GOLDMetrics or {}
  2. GOLDMetrics.name = "GOLDMetrics"
  3. GOLDMetrics.variableVersion = 2
