Greetings mates. I would like to congratulate you for your website, I love it so far. I wanted to ask if it's possible to have an addOn which starts quizes. Like this one: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...TriviaBot.html

Would be great to have such an addOn, what you think?

Not possible yet, the addons are unable to communicate through chat channels and I doubt it will change too soon...

I was afraid that would be the case :'(

What about user created channels?

So far, an Addon cannot communicate to other players by any means (nor can they hear anything from any player channels). They can listen to Npcs, and there is an Event.Chat.Notify event that I'm not sure what it does, but the only output an Addon can do is either directly onto the UI or to your chat box.

Thanks alot for the reply Aieny. Neither do I know what that code would mean. Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge on lua :'(

I hope someone finds a workaround or maybe create just an addon which shows you the questions and answers and gives you the option to copy text :>

Time will tell :>

I believe that listening to NPCs would probably be most interesting for creating warnings when bosses say that they are intending to do some scary stuff.
