SpellNotifications lua Edit

Guides UI and Macro
1

Hello, recently a very popular PvP addon was revived for BFA & it works great, but I came here to see if someone with some experience with lua could take a look at this .lua file and see if I could universally change the output of the print/text to the /say chat instead of where the errors go. I don’t like the error frame on the default UI & turn it off completely so having this addon appear there is the same as not having it appear at all.

If it’s too much trouble for the whole thing, maybe just the parts for Spell Reflection & Mass Spell Reflection? I’m trying to have this addon announce what is being reflected on my screen in /say chat & the addon I modified to do just this in Legion is broke and hasn’t been updated.

You can post code between triple grave (backwards apostrophe) marks.

thank you very much

You would absolutely not want to use the /say because then you’re broadcasting errors to everyone and teammates that have “say” text displayed as a bubble will get your messages clogging up the screen.

You can use print() instead which will put it into your chat frame but only you will see it.

If you want to preserve the colouring and as Tinkerizmo suggests, just use print so as not to spam everyone around you, change the function:
SpellNotifications_Print

to be:

function SpellNotifications_Print(text,color,size)
	size = size or ""
	local hexColor = "ffffff"
	
	local R, G, B -- added because simple globals :(
	local color = string.lower(color)
	local size = string.lower(size)
	if color == "blue" then
		hexColor = "00bfff"
--		R = 0; G = .75; B = 1
	elseif color == "green" then
		hexColor = "80ff00"
--		R = .5; G = 1; B = 0
	elseif color == "yellow" then
		hexColor = "ffff00"
--		R = 1; G = 1; B = 0
	elseif color == "orange" then
		hexColor = "ffa600"
--		R = 1; G = .65; B = 0
	elseif color == "red" then
		hexColor = "ff0000"
--		R = 1; G = 0; B = 0
	elseif color == "purple" then
		hexColor = "ed82ed"
--		R = .93; G = .51; B = .93
	elseif color == "black" then
		hexColor = "000000"
--		R = 0; G = 0; B = 0
	end
	text = "|cff"..hexColor..text.."|r"
	print(text)
--[[
	if size == "large" or size == "big" then
		ZoneTextString:SetText(text);
		PVPInfoTextString:SetText("");
		ZoneTextFrame.startTime = GetTime()
		ZoneTextFrame.fadeInTime = 0
		ZoneTextFrame.holdTime = 1
		ZoneTextFrame.fadeOutTime = 2
		ZoneTextString:SetTextColor(R,G,B);
		ZoneTextFrame:Show()
	else -- size == "small"
		UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(text,R,G,B);
	end
]]--
end

I didn’t remove the original code in case you decide to revert it.
