GetFaction (lua)

[jay77]

int luaUnit_GetFaction(lua_State * L, Unit *ptr);

How do I use this in a lua teleporter? I want to get the faction then if faction == (horde) (alliance) they see different menus. I don't know how to implement this into the script =[.

And off the top of your head, if you know the faction id (if it uses id's) what are they for both. Thanks +Rep!

I'm not sure what 'GetFaction()' would return if used on a player, But if your curious you can try...

function Portal_OnUse(Unit, Event, player)
    print(player:GetFaction().." Is the current players faction")
end

Then figure out what it returns as and go from there.

Otherwise you can do it by player race. like so;

local race = player:GetPlayerRace()

	if race==1 or race==3 or race==4 or race==7 or race==11 then
                -- Will execute this code if player is alliance.
	else
		-- Will execute this code if player is horde.
	end

Hope that helps =).

GetFaction returns either a 1 or a 0. 0 being alliance I think. Don't use get race, its a retarded way of going about trying to find which alliance the player is from.
