LFGQuery() protected function (interactive)

#0 - Dec. 28, 2006, 9:44 a.m.

So I'm trying to help out the LFG system... first by giving users a way to strategize their LFG behavior by viewing all their options.

/lfgwho would iterate through all LFG queries visible to the user

On the firstiteration all is well, but following calls to LFGQuery (which originate from either UPDATE_LFG_LIST or an OnUpdate) are blocked. Additionally CanSendLFGQuery returns true in these cases.

I would very much like to build a better LFG UI and this is a big part of the solution.

The LFG query functions are restricted to interactive action, because they are an expensive function on the server. If addons were able to query the LFG system in a non-interactive way, it would add additional load on the server, and increase lag.

I'll look into it. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be restricted or not. If it results in an LFG query then it probably was supposed to be restricted.
