Display message for and only for a given error.

[kivita]

Hi ther eeveryone. My first post here... I'll apologize in advance for any nubbiness... I'm new to lua and wow ui.... but have experience in other scripting languages

Anyhow... my current problem is I am trying to display a message for and only for the event that you get the error. "You are too far away!"

local frame2 = CreateFrame("Frame");
frame2:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
local function eventHandler(self, event, ...)
print("Test " .. event); 
end
frame2:SetScript("OnEvent", eventHandler);

so where i have print("Test " .. event); would i put something like if msg=="You are too far away" then blah blah blah?
thanks for any help !

Haha... would you look at that i figured it out myself!

I was almost on the right track... I'll post this for anyone else who might be trying to do a similar thing....

function TargetInfoStuff()

local frame2 = CreateFrame("Frame");
frame2:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
  
local function eventHandler(self, event, ...)

if event == "UI_ERROR_MESSAGE" then

local message = ...;

  if message == "You are too far away!" then

--I put a bunch of code here 

 end

 if message == "You are facing the wrong way!" then

 -- aaaaand I put a bunch of code here 

 end

end

yay!!!

Very handy, for anyone who dont have the time nor the scripting knowledge there is an addon called ErrorMonster which let you decide which errors that should be displayed.
