EVENT EXPERIENCE UPDATE (Need help)

http://wiki.esoui.com/EVENT_EXPERIENCE_UPDATE

So far; I have been working on defining the parameters. I am having trouble with the reasons; at the moment I have 0; 1; 3 and -1.

-1 is currently being confirmed.

Can anyone post any findings or suggestions as to how level xp is gained or reason ids found.

it's either a string ("levelup") or one of the following constants:

Is reason bugged? I get the value '131136' no matter what the experience reason actually was.

eventCode is first in most events... and not listed.

Because the event code isn't returned as part of the event, but rather from the event handler itself. (Not that you can see the returns from an event without an event handler, but... )

/edit: in WoW, the handler passes through two arguments before those from a specific event. The frame that the registered the event and the handler is attached to, and the event name.

I think the arguments on the wiki might be wrong. This is what I use for my handler (figured out by trial and error):

Code:

function SIEB.ExperienceUpdate(reason, unitTag, currentExp, maxExp)

I have a hunch the veteran update is wrong too, but no way to test that.

As was mentioned a couple of times already in this thread, the event code for the event you registered for is the first return from the handler. Then comes all of the returns from the event.

I've updated the page pon the wiki with some example code, which may help.

The sample code does help. Thanks for putting that up there. I wasn't following what you were saying about the event code. Now I get it. I guess this wiki page is the RTFM for events.

Can I suggest adding a link to the "How do events work?" addon question at the top of the Events wiki page?
