event code not returned

Hello,

i think i found a bug with an event not returning its "eventCode", as it should according to: https://wiki.esoui.com/API.
If I am mistaken, feel free to just close or delete this thread.

Its about the Event: EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINT

Here my code:

Lua Code:

function foo:DebugGroupJoinedEvent(event, name, displayName, isPlayerLocal)
  d("DebugGroupJoinedEvent")
  d("event: " .. event)
  d("name: " .. name)
  d(displayName)
  d(isPlayerLocal)
  d("-------------------------")
end
 
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(self.name.."DebugGroupJoined", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINED, self.DebugGroupJoinedEvent)

And here the debug result in chat:

Code:

DebugGroupJointEvent

event: Exoy^Mx

name: @Exoy94

true

nil

-------------------------

As you can see, the eventCode is missing. (I would have included screenshot, if i know how to do that :)

Code:

function foo:DebugGroupJoinedEvent(event, name, displayName, isPlayerLocal)

is short for

Code:

function foo.DebugGroupJoinedEvent(self, event, name, displayName, isPlayerLocal)

so now the event code will be stored in the variable self,
the name will be stored in the variable event,
the display name will be stored in the variable name etc.
That's also why your debug output prints "event: Exoy^Mx".

you want to use

Code:

function foo.DebugGroupJoinedEvent(event, name, displayName, isPlayerLocal)

Thanks for the quick reply.
And what an embarrassing mistake on my side.

Just started to use objects in that form and completely forgot about it.
