[Script] Fake Chat-Events

[Doubleerror]

Well since not many people (even those half-way up to contrib.) don't know how to use easy "AddMessage" stuff, I decided to post it so everyone knows...

Well this little feature adds a message to your chat-window.
AND only yours! Others can not see this! But it still appears on screenshots.

Well the basic form looks like this:

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Text")

This would result in a white chatmessage which would say Text.
Now lets throw some colors in there...

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Text", Red, Green, Blue)

The colors can be everything from 0.0 to 1.0.

Some colors:
Red ("Text", 1.0, 0, 0)
Green ("Text", 0, 1.0, 0)
Blue ("Text", 0, 0, 1.0)
Purple ("Text", 1.0, 0, 1.0)
Pink ("Text", 1.0, 0.5, 1.0)
Yellow ("Text", 1.0, 1.0, 0)

K, now you're asking "What is this shit, what is it good for?"

Lets say you want to humilate some sucker in your guild...


do this, screenshot and post in guildforum.

Or a item dropped you want to have really badly, while being in an instance and you got 2 or so friends. Now a friend is lootmaster, you could just ninja the item but that would result in these other people hating you. So you let everyone roll and then tell your friends (works best over Teamspeak or Ventrillo or via a codeword ("wow, reallly really nice [insert item class here])) when to use their macro.
Timing is really importent since it would be highly suspicious when on the screenshot of your friend 1 the roll would be on a different position than from friend 2 and you.
Then you get the friend to give you the item, the others go "WTF dude, I won!!!", your friends say "oO bug I/we see his roll right here, i ll screenshot and upload, sec"
The macro would look like this:

This is useless.... you can get something like this on the WoW Macro forums, and so you send this roll picture to someone, what are they going to do, open a ticket with a GM and the GM confirms the player didnt roll? Hell, i could just google this and it would be on a WoW Fansite. This has been around for ages....

sorry but this is really nothing new/special. its used in every addon!
but to anyone who thinks its usefull:

here is the same thing just for widescreen announces:

/script UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage("TEXT HERE") and its much easier to color it with
AFE813
/script UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage("\124cff###### TEXT HERE")

get the color u want from here: Hex Color Code Generator - Bookmark this Chart

e.g.


/script UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage("\124cffAFE813 Hi")
will display a green "Hi" on your screen

So? It's great for blackmailing someone, or trolling forums with fake whispers.

Tell me one person who would write a GM ticket after he got 3 uploaded screenshots which shows a specific person rolls pretty high and then gets the item.
I did this for a long time now, not very often since I only know some people who are willing to do this, but I never got any problems...
Normally we roll for epic BoEs and share the money.

Also very usefull for getting some material for "Funny WoW Screenshots" in your guild forum
Or signatures with "quotes" of other people.

Also I said I post this because so much people don't know. A recent poster with about 40 rep proved this. I know this is used in most addons, same with the way H3llf!re described.
