Sending tell to people after C2C-ish

[cybersmurf]

Hi

I was trying to add a tell to my groupwindow-mod (and I have done a search, but couldn't find anything).
Example button:
<Button BackgroundOpacity="0.000" LocalTooltip="Scale of Essence" Location="57,24" Name="ZShardButton" OnPress="useability Scale of Essence
useability Scintilla of Essence
useability Shard of Essence
useability Sliver of Essence
useability Splinter of Essence
clear abilityqueue
tell Parent.Name.GroupMember 'You are getting shard, please stay close'
target_previous" ScrollExtent="23,23" Size="23,23" Style="/ButtonStyles.invisible"></Button>

I have also tried: parent.Name.text
but I keep getting: "That is not a valid charactername" ingame.

How do I add a /tell ?

Thanks

As you would on the command line:

tell %t 'You are getting shard, please stay close'

Hmm, I thought it was always unpredictable what target the tell would use if you use so much switching around it. Anyhow, the problem you've highlighted in red is that first, I doubt that element path exists... and secondly if it did exist, it would likely be a Page element and you cannot get text from that... so the tell command would get a blank response. It'd probably be something like Parent.Parent.Name.LocalText... assuming I'm guessing your XML paths correctly. ZShardButton being in GroupMembers.GroupMember1.MemberInfoPage.Effects.

Thanks EQAditu, that worked perfectly

entirely possible, I never used the variables myself for scripts
