Train tailoring anywhere.

[XnaRouge]

I've loved this board for a long time, so I thought I would contrib something.

I've found that if you type /script OpenTrainer(); it opens a tailoring training window, no matter where you are.

Reproduceable from some friends, but not by all (though admittedly some of my friends aren't the smartest, so they could just be F'ing it up.)

If you can find a way to pass it a variable to force it to open another tradeskill window this could have some real potential (possibly an archaeology trainer?)

Nonetheless, hope you kids can enjoy this!

Just tried this, and yes it did open the training window, howver the option to actually train through it is greyed out.

Worked for me, i was able to train. Thanks +rep

I just trained Shadoweave Pants, Shadoweave Robe, Shadoweave Gloves, Shadoweave Shoulders, and Shadoweave Boots while in ICC at the LK. It works.

Wouldn't even open a window for me, very odd. Wowwiki doesn't know anything about this API either, so no idea how it's supposed to work.

I do, but that's not it. I tried it again in BG and it worked. Then I tried it a second time in BG and it didn't work. I tried it when I got out of the BG and it worked again. I'm not seeing a pattern yet, as to when it will work vs when it won't.

Please move to elite asap, I can explain why in there.

EDIT: Theory didn't work, turns out there are no arguments for the function therefore it's not as important as I though initially for protection in the upper spire of MMowned. It's still a decent contribution, so I'll still be +repping, it's still up to you if you want it moved or not.

Double Edit: From WoWProgramming:

Was used in early betas of World of Warcraft before trainer NPCs existed. Only remaining use is equivalent to CloseTrainer().

Signature:

OpenTrainer()

This function is deprecated and is no longer in use

Seems to take nothing, returns nothing, but I can't be sure until I have a few moments to work with it.

just tried it +rep for the epicness

Someone should try OpenMerchant() and OpenQuest() as well as OpenTrainer() while targeting a trainer from a distance. Also OpenAuctionhouse(), Openbankframe(), OpenGossip(). OpenLoot(), OpenMail().

I have a feeling this may be bigger, allowing quests without faction or quest pre-reqs by forcing a dialogue or looting mobs you haven't killed. If it does force a dialogue, it would still be limited if a quest requires a hand-in you don't have.

Might also allow purchases from opposite faction vendors.

KnowItAll: FUNCTION_LOOKUP
Name: OpenTrainer()
functionID: 1A0F1188
takes: nothing
returns: arg1 = nil,
if return true then returns true = true;
[Click here to run OpenTrainer()]

Seems to be a small roadblock.

EDIT: After searching:

/script MailFrame:Show()
/script BankFrame:Show()
/script GossipFrame:Show() --Filler Text (lol!)
/script TaxiFrame:Show() --returns error, NO EVENT FROM SERVER

I'm going to start looking at that.

From User interface customization guide - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
"MailFrame is the name of a Blizzard Frame, created in Blizzard Interface Data/FrameXML/MailFrame.xml. Anyframe:Show() will make that frame appear, even if you are nowhere near a mailbox. Type /run MailFrame:Show() in game to accomplish the same thing."

I think that the OpenTrainer thing is different than using the Show() command, but I could be wrong.

The fact that it actually returns a nil argument means it is NOT a show command, you are right.

I just went around looking at some of the odd things.

Using "/script GossipFrame:Show()" just tends to open up the chat frame of the last npc you were talking to. Unfortunately it is non-interact-able if the NPC had any options.

You ever tried that while targeting an NPC that won't talk to you?
