Performs an emote.

restricted = DoEmote(token [, unit, hold])

Arguments[]

token
string : EmoteToken - The emote to perform.
unit
string? : UnitId - Who the emote will be performed on. Defaults to the current target.
hold
boolean? - Supposedly holds the emote animation until canceled, like for the /read emote.

Returns[]

restricted
boolean - If an emote is restricted this tells the UI to show it as an unrecognized chat command.[1] For example DoEmote("FORTHEHORDE") while being alliance.

Details[]

  • The list of emotes is in ChatFrame.lua and GlobalStrings.lua
  • Does not require a hardware event. There is a ~0.25 second server-side throttle on performing an emote, since somewhere in 2011 when it was abused.
  • Quirk: UnitIDs like "target" do not appear to work on NPCs, but it works while omitting the param.

Example[]

Similar to /hello, if you are targeting something "You greet %s with a hearty hello!", otherwise "You greet everyone with a hearty hello!"

DoEmote("HELLO")

To ensure an emote is not aimed at a target.

DoEmote("HELLO", "none")
