/who populate table > print table

[JohnMcCain]

Pretty much as the title says, similar concept to my other thread for a /who ALL feature....

Is it possible to do /who 1

>run a macro to store this as a list/table,

/who 2... /who 3... /who etc...

then for arguments sake, send a whisper/invite to everybody in the list? (No, I'm not planning on being an annoying spammer before you ask!)



^if so, please how?

There are addons for that. Usually focused on automatic guild invite

I did something similar. A server had hundreds of people in Tanaris so I wrote a script to try and target as many as possible with a spell:

function IncDuration(self, elapsed)
	dur = dur + elapsed;
	if dur > 0.01 then
		local me = UnitName("player")

		if curWho < maxWho then

			TargetUnit(who[curWho])
			if UnitName("target") then
				if UnitName("target") ~=  me then
					CastSpellByName("Crown Parcel Service Uniform")
				end
			end
			curWho = curWho + 1
		
		else
			
			who_target = who_target + 1
			if who_target > #classes_who then
				who_target = 1
			end
			who_target_two = who_target + 1
			if who_target_two > #classes_who then
				who_target_two = 1
			end
			who={}
			SendWho("z-Tanaris "..classes_who[who_target].." "..classes_who[who_target_two])
			for i=1,GetNumWhoResults() do
				n=GetWhoInfo(i)
				who[i]=n
			end
			curWho=1
			maxWho=#who
			
		end

		dur = 0
	end
end

who_target = 0
classes_who = {"c-Mage", "c-Warrior", "c-Druid", "c-Warlock", "c-Priest", "c-Paladin", "c-Hunter", "c-Death Knight", "c-Shaman", "c-Rogue"}

You can just store the results instead of using them immediately.

Thanks for your reply stoneharry, forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject, but how exactly might I implement this code? Would it make some kind of addon or attach some kind of program to the process?

The code I linked I actually used in an AddOn. It would be quite simple to adapt to what you want to do.

Judging from your response you will not be able to do this yourself. What do you actually need this for? I might do it tomorrow if there is enough reason for it.

It's for a social leveling guild (recruitment), I don't like to bother the guildies with recruitment macros, so I'd rather do one BIG recruitment like once a week or something, you know? I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind - I'm quite happy to try and learn it though, if there are any addon creation guides you know of?
