20:11.58fiphiHiho there, anyone awake?
20:26.40jnwhitehI am
20:29.39jnwhitehfiphi: What's up?
20:29.44fiphiHey!
20:29.51fiphiI'm having trouble with the onclick event for buttons.
20:30.00jnwhitehalright, whats the trouble you're having?
20:30.02fiphiI want to register if it's left or right, and it refuses to handle the right.
20:30.06fiphiSec, code. :)
20:30.11jnwhitehdon't need code
20:30.14fiphiAh, okay.
20:30.15jnwhitehregister for right-clicks
20:30.18fiphiDone that.
20:30.20jnwhitehself:RegisterForClicks("AnyDown")
20:30.36fiphi<PROTECTED>
20:30.50jnwhitehIf you've done that, then paste your code on pastey.net or somewhere and I'll take a look
20:30.51fiphiThat's what I have. And it feels it's the right button, with a print(button) I see it gets it.
20:30.52jnwhitehif its more than a line =)
20:30.56fiphiAlright, sec. :)
20:30.57jnwhitehokay
20:31.01jnwhitehso what _isn't_ happening then?
20:31.16fiphihttp://pastebin.com/Rrh2drK6
20:31.20fiphiThat's the code in my event handler.
20:31.27fiphiIt always goes into the left button's if clause.
20:31.29jnwhiteh"LeftButton"
20:31.31fiphii.e. printing button.
20:31.33jnwhitehnot LeftButton
20:31.39fiphiOh, okay.
20:31.41fiphiDoh.
20:31.41jnwhitehand not self.button
20:31.41fiphi:)
20:31.42jnwhitehbutton =)
20:31.45jnwhitehso button == "LeftButton"
20:31.47fiphiHmmm.
20:31.50fiphiIt didn't work with only button.
20:31.51jnwhitehwhat you were doing was (if nil == nil)
20:32.06jnwhitehwell you don't want to use self.button
20:32.09jnwhitehI promise you that much =)
20:32.13fiphiHehe.
20:32.29fiphiI'm guessing you're James, so I just want to add I'm flattered to be assisted by the author. :p
20:33.05jnwhiteh=)
20:33.18fiphiAaah, it works. :)
20:33.24fiphiNow for the -rest- of the assignment...
20:33.29jnwhiteh:P
20:33.38fiphiI'm taking a uni course in WoW programming. .p
20:33.55jnwhitehVery cool, the instructor told me it was happening. Pretty neat!
20:34.29fiphiAh, yeah. :) Myself, I study information design and am interested in working with computers of some sorts, so GUIs interest me. Also playing WoW. So I thought it'd be great to combine it. :p
20:35.19fiphiAre you gonna be available here for a while if I run into any more difficulties? (Not that this one was a proud moment, forgetting quotation marks...)
20:35.48jnwhitehI may be playing HoN or WoW, so I might not see your messages immediately
20:35.53jnwhitehbut yes, I'll be around for another hour or so
20:36.09fiphiAh, splendid. :)
20:36.42fiphiI'm guessing it's okay to come here and ask since it was pushed for in the book and all.
20:36.48jnwhiteh=)
20:36.54jnwhitehI'm always here, just sometimes away :P
20:37.02fiphiI love modern course litterature. :p
20:37.08fiphiAnd oh, I have a, uh, unicode problem.
20:37.13fiphiMy Swedish letters won't show.
20:37.26fiphiIt looks more like the Swedish chefs borka borka in phonetics.
20:37.37jnwhitehIt should work just fine, if your strings are UTF-8 encoded
20:37.44fiphiHmm.
20:37.57fiphi<PROTECTED>
20:38.21fiphiIt doesn't print the "ömd" but a weird sign instead.
20:38.38jnwhitehhrm
20:38.57fiphiIt does that already in the addon manager by the logon screen, with the notes.
20:39.02fiphiNot only while ingame.
20:40.08jnwhitehtry replacing it with \195\182
20:40.12jnwhitehas a stab in the dark
20:40.20fiphiThat's only two letters? :p
20:40.28jnwhitehthe ö
20:40.29jnwhiteh=)
20:40.31fiphiAah.
20:40.33jnwhitehreplace THAT with those two characters
20:40.59fiphiOooh!
20:41.17fiphiBut still, two characters? Is it the o and the ¨ you sneaked together? :D
20:41.32jnwhitehthat's how unicode/UTF-8 work
20:41.39fiphiOh, cool.
20:41.50jnwhitehin part =)
20:41.50fiphiI only know I have UTF-8 on my shell, not sure if anywhere else.
20:42.01jnwhitehits probably your text editor that's making it not work right
20:42.03jnwhitehhard to tell
20:42.14fiphiNotepad++, does one dare to rack down on that? :P
20:42.19jnwhitehno, that should work
20:42.22jnwhitehI'm surprised
20:42.29jnwhitehmay want to look for UTF-8 as an encoding option
20:42.35fiphiHmhm, sec then. :)
20:43.06fiphiUTF8 without BOM or just UTF8?
20:43.10fiphiNo idea what the BOM is.
20:43.13jnwhitehwith BOM, I think you need it
20:43.17jnwhitehotherwise other files have no idea its UTF-8
20:43.23fiphiThen I can put back he ö?
20:43.36fiphiGnhnh, nope.
20:43.37jnwhitehits a 'byte order marker'
20:43.50jnwhitehyeah, hard to tell why its doing that
20:44.38fiphiAnd oy, you seem younger than I thought. Hah.
20:46.15jnwhitehfunc getutf(s) local res = ""; for i = 1, #s do t= string.format("%s\\%3o", t, s:byte(i, i)) end return t
20:46.27jnwhitehyou might be able to run that in wow and get the utf-8 encoding for a string.
20:46.30jnwhitehit also may not work =)
20:47.01fiphiOh my God, that seemed confusing.
20:47.20fiphiArglh, now it won't check if my table is empty.
20:48.04jnwhitehwhat's that mea?
20:48.05jnwhitehmean
20:48.43fiphiIf the button is leftbutton, it's gonna print a history of rocket drops. If the table containing the rocket history is empty, which it gets if I rightclick it, I want it to say "Empty!" but it refuses to print that.
20:49.18jnwhitehhow are you checking if the table is empty?
20:49.53fiphiFirst I tried if tablename == nil and now I tried == {}
20:50.19jnwhitehneither of those will work
20:50.19fiphiIn the resetting of the table I do tablename = {}
20:50.24fiphiHmm.
20:50.27jnwhitehis the table a hash table or a list/array?
20:50.35jnwhitehi.e. {foo = bar} or {"foo", "bar"}
20:50.45fiphiIt's a dictionary.
20:50.57jnwhitehthen you can use next(tbl)
20:51.08fiphiNot following you, I'm afraid.
20:51.09jnwhitehthat'll return a set key/value if ther eis one
20:51.14jnwhitehotherwise it'll return nil
20:51.34fiphiOkay, so... if next(tbl) then print history, else print "Empty" then?
20:51.43fiphiLast then being my own, not code. :p
20:52.04jnwhitehyep
20:52.27fiphiOh, gonna try.
20:52.38fiphiOooh. <3
20:52.55fiphiI just might love you.
20:53.17jnwhitehlol
20:53.22jnwhitehokay, HoN bb in 45

21:57.50fiphijnwhiteh: I finished it and handed it in; I think (or pray) that it's correct. Thank you so much for your comments. :)
21:58.00jnwhitehYou're welcome!
21:58.09lua_botNew edit on node 'docs/api/BNGetFriendInfo' by jnwhiteh (No summary) - http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/BNGetFriendInfo
21:58.17fiphiDuring July when we don't have any assignments I plan on going through the book, doing the examples.
21:58.26fiphiI might just ask a question or two at that time. :p
21:58.31jnwhitehsounds good!
21:59.44fiphiThank you again; it's extremely refreshing with a modern grasp on litterature with interactive possibilites. My last course had outdated, irrelevant litterature from 1999 (sic!) so this was... yeah, refreshing to say the least. :)
22:00.05jnwhitehLucky that that edition just came out =)  Glad you're enjoying it.
22:00.20fiphiThe 1st one wasn't as interactive?
22:00.32jnwhitehIt was, it just got outdated =)
22:00.43fiphiAh, the change ingame, the, uh...
22:00.48fiphiInterface changed?
22:01.05jnwhitehindeed!
22:01.08fiphi:0
