How can an AddOn add something to the chat frame for other people to see, I.e:

/party TEXT
/guild TEXT
/whisper person TEXT
/yell TEXT

I have tried everything i can think of and I've gone insane.

also try to check the the API docs on Wowpedia and/or wowprogramming beforehand

Yea, sorry about that, i didn't look there before asking, i just tried everything i knew already.

Does anyone see a problem with this?:

/run local guildLoot_mainTotal = guildLoot_currentTotal; local yourGuild, _, _ = GetGuildInfo("player"); SendChatMessage( GetCoinTextureString( guildLoot_currentTotal ) .. " put in " .. yourGuild .. "'s bank, from me looting.", GUILD )

What does it do when you try it?

It give's this error:

Invalid escape code in chat message

I tried using the gold, silver, and copper variable's used for the guildLoot_currentTotal variable, but found they can only be used either, when the CHAT_MSG_MONEY event is fired, or inside the GetCoinTextureString function, so i am now at a dead end.

other than you cannot send texture strings in chat messages, no

Well now:

elseif IsShiftKeyDown() then
	/run local guildLoot_mainTotal = guildLoot_currentTotal; local yourGuild, _, _ = GetGuildInfo("player"); SendChatMessage( guildLoot_mainTotal  .. " put in " .. yourGuild .. "'s bank, from me looting.", PARTY )

give's me this error:

unexpected error near '/'

On line 96 which is the '/run' code snippet posted above.

Remove "/run". That only works from the chat prompt.
