[implemented] new function GetCurrentHouseOwner()

It should return string displayName as a result.

For now, there's no way to identify the owner of a current house when a player is in someone else's house. This function would be very usefull for addons to make the list of favorite other players' houses, to return back to this specific house (with JumpToSpecificHouse(displayName, houseId)), to quick "Contact the owner" functionality, and more.

I adjusted the title.

Since you can enter other players houses only via certain API functions, you could already emulate something like that. You would need to pre-hook the jump functions that allow you to get into their house and save the target name. As far as I am aware you also don't need to worry about crashes and disconnects, because you will be moved out of their house in that case.

I think you can enter a house via travel to player, in which case you can't know the owner.

Why not? You always need to specify the player name for a jump, or when you jump to group leader you also know who that is.

Player A has a home. Player B visits the home. Player C jumps to player B. Player C does not know that the house is owned by player A.

I thought he meant this function would be used while in the house, not for indirect jumping.

Ah ok. I didn't think of indirect jumps. But yeah, that case cannot be emulated.

It would also just be simpler to use one api call rather than hooking 3-4

Me too

Me too, I really want this function.

"Enable add-ons only when you are at a guild member's house"
I want to do things like that ,,,

There are 41 types of craft tables at the guild member's house,
It is very cumbersome to find the desired craft table.
So I want to create an add-on ,,,

Hi
I am waiting for this feature to be released, but is it forgotten?
(Or already released with a different name?)
