Is there event notification when I join a group?

[Sonar]

Hi, I tried to write a simple addon which would have a function to callback when I join a new group. The callback function would check all the members of the group and report if any of them is on my Ignore list.

I tried this, but it wasn't called back when I joined the group:

local function CheckGroupMemberJoined(eventCode, memberName)

	d("dbg: EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINED: " .. memberName)

	if IsIgnored(memberName) then
		d("Warning: Group member " .. memberName " is on Ignored list.")
	end
end

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("AvoidIgnored", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINED, CheckGroupMemberJoined)

How would you go about it? Thank you.

I'd use event EVENT_UNIT_CREATED:

local function OnUnitCreated(_, unitTag)
    if ZO_Group_IsGroupUnitTag(unitTag) and IsUnitIgnored(unitTag) then
        d(zo_strformat("Warning: Group member <<C:1>> is on Ignored list.", GetUnitName(unitTag)))
    end
end
 
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("AvoidIgnored", EVENT_UNIT_CREATED, OnUnitCreated)

Thanks - it works!

And as the "OnUnitCreated" function is completely undocumented, and you obviously know it, may I ask you:

Is this event triggered when *I* join AND when a new player joins the group? Or just one of those? Thanks!

You have to test it, but I believe that it is triggered every time when there is a new unitTag available.

When you join the group, there will be new unitTag for each group member, so event will be triggered. And when new player joins the group, there will be new unitTag available for him, so this event should be triggered too.

Thanks a lot!

It appears to be triggered every group unit creation, not specific to you or another group member, or group size.

I verified that it works for both cases. Thanks again!
