InnerSpace commands and Lua addons

Hi Lax,

Is it possible to use InnerSpace commands in a Lua addon in WoW? for example, I'd like to call "/Wait 10s" in my Lua addon. What would be the syntax if this is possible? Do I need to have ISXWoW installed?

Thanks,

Without a game-specific addon, there is no way to interface with the game's internal scripting engine. So yes, ISXWoW would be required for you to do this, and I have seen an example of using IS stuff in a WoW addon (posted by Fippy on ismods). Also, /wait 10s is MQ2 syntax and not correct for LavishScript

Regardless, the command would not do what you're looking to have it do, and putting a 10 second wait in your WoW addon would be very undesirable anyway -- it would cause the game itself to sit there for 10 seconds doing nothing. My suggestion is to use some sort of timer functionality, which can also be achieved by storing a time, and doing something after that time is reached.

Thanks Lax for clarification! What about calling a WOW addon from an IS script? What would be the syntax for this?

You'll again have to refer to ISXWoW and the information you're looking for should be on ISMods. The site is separate from lavishsoft.com because I don't develop nor provide support for such plugins (I really cant, since I didnt create it -- that would be like asking Microsoft for help figuring out EverQuest). Please ask on the ISMods forums if you cannot figure it out from the information available there already
