/aai if no menu appear.. not installed

I knew that, lol.

I meant, if writing a script for a dailies quest, I want to detect if the client running the script has the aai addon. If the addon is not installed then it will run a function I have to detect the invite and accept it. If the client has the addon, then it wouldn't need to run my function and instead, it would just do an "/aai on" to ensure it's turned on to auto accept the invite.

Just check for the existence of one of it's functions or variables.

Eg.

Code: Select all

if RoMScript("functionname ~= nil") then -- The function exists
   ...

Have a look in the addons lua files and pick something to check. The only limitation is that is has to be something that isn't declared as local.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Rock. I'll try that tonight when I get home.

I used if RoMScript("aai ~= nil") then and at first it seemed good. Returned true with it installed, but then I moved the addon out of my addons folder and ran ReloadUI() and it still returns it true. I then tried changing it up and got it working. Here's what I tested with:

Code: Select all

	if RoMScript("aai") ~= nil then 
		local aaiinstalled = true;
		print("aai addon detected");
	else
		local aaiinstalled = false;
		print("aai addon not detected");
	end	 

I verified it with both the addon installed and not installed and it worked as expected.

If you intend to use the variable aaiinstalled, you shouldn't declare it local inside the 'if' statement. Should be

Code: Select all

   local aaiinstalled
   if RoMScript("aai") ~= nil then
      aaiinstalled = true;
      print("aai addon detected");
   else
      aaiinstalled = false;
      print("aai addon not detected");
   end
