Server storage and chat

[Erys_Mordreyal]

Hi all,

I'm trying to develop a small dice-rolling addon for our guild, and I've considered two ways to do it:

1) "/random X" puts out a number in say, party or guild that reflects their roll. I've tried implementing this, but it seems that the SendChatMessage function is not available for external use. Shame. Any idea if this will be released eventually? It seems limiting to prevent that, and more so to prevent local logging.

2) "/random X" stores a number somewhere on the server, which all clients poll for and receive a local list of numbers associated with character names. Less research done here - but after glancing all places I could think, I haven't found a place whereclients can store dynamic data and have other other clients poll for it.

I'd especially like advice on the server-storage side, because we'd like to be able to have a designated leader assign modifiers to players via character name.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much!
