Addon help, Kills and XP

Post by Damiens

I am writing an addon to tell if I am getting experience for kills but cant seem to find the right event.

UNIT_DIED event fires before CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_XP_GAIN and PLAYER_XP_UPDATE so not sure how to go about programming this.

Basically I want to know if I get to far away from my party member and I am no longer getting experience from his kills.

local x = UnitXP("player") -- Define the experience baseline
local function InRange(event) -- Define the function and pass it the event
if event == "UNIT_DIED" then
if UnitXP("player") ~= x then -- Compare exp before and after kill
fireAlert() -- Whatever your alert function is
end
end
x = UnitXP("player") -- Reset the experience baseline
end

Just how I would do it. I'm sure there are a hundred or more ways and several better than my own, but I'm pretty sure this would work.
