Variables, when defined, are given a type based on the value you give it. (There are some limitations, but I won't get into that here) Note that the variable can be called whatever you like, and does not have to be a real word. Way One:Д¬ode: print(variable)the above would print the value of the variable into the main chat frame (General if you have the default set up).

Those five things are the main things you need to know, and are just what I'll go over now.ДЄ function is a bit of code which is run whenever the name of the function is called somewhere in code. It's main functionality comes from five main things: Tables, Functions, Variables, if statements and loops. Lua is a very flexible programming language compared to some.

is a full list and explanation for pretty much everything you need to know about Lua programming. Please note that I'm only going over the extreme basics here. Lua Programming is similar to other languages, so if you already know a few it should come fairly quickly. This section will go over some of the basics for Lua programming.

Feel free to go on if you have the time or are still interested. In order to debug and other things that make coding easier, I find it's best to have the following:Д«eyond that it is up to personal preference, but keep in mind that the more addons you have, the longer it will take to reload your UI and the longer it will take to debug your addon They are created the first time you start the game and it will save a TON of time in copying) (If you want to save time, I would strongly recommend you don't copy over your Interface and Cache folders. The easiest way to do this (if you have space) is to just copy your whole WoW folder over to another folder. That way my coding doesn't affect my playing of the game, and overall I think it makes it simpler. I personally like to have a completely separate WoW installation specifically for creating and debugging my addon. You can also use regular notepad if you would rather, or even larger programs like Adobe Dreamweaver.ДЄny of these will work, but if you use notepad you have to remember when you're saving your code to switch the save as file type to All Files from.

Personally I like to use Notepad++ as it's lightweight and easy to install ( LINK) There are many programs you can use to program. 1, a program in which to code your addon, and 2, a good WoW environment in which to code your addon. This section will go over getting your computer set up to create your addon.

It won't go over (somewhat) advanced topics like graphical interfaces or profiles or the like. It will go over just enough to help you get started with creating and working with your addon. This guide is intended to be for beginning to moderate addon authors/programmers.

What this guide will cover, and what it won't As a result, I will be splitting up this guide into multiple sections with a table of contents to make browsing this guide a little bit easier (I may miss things, and I plan on updating this, so feel free to let me know in a PM if I missed something) This guide will go over quite a few things, everything from getting started and some basic Lua programming information, to more complex topics like storing data between user sessions. If you're fine with those things, then let's get started. Getting it right the first time is very rare If you don't like programming you probably won't like creating an addon

It will most likely not be a do it and forget kind of thing, unless you only plan on using it yourself.

So you want to create your very own addon do you? Here's a few things you should know before you start.
