1. This is my first time making an addon so please be gentle with my noobness.

    I'd like to make an addon that just colors the health bars in your party frames according to their class.

    First step is trying to detect when you are in a party. I'm trying to use PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED however I can't get anything to happen on that event. Here is my entire lua file:

     function Frame1_OnLoad()
        this:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED");
     end
    
     function Frame1_OnEvent()
        if (event = "PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED") then
            FontString1:SetText("Hello " .. UnitName("party1") .. "!");
        end
     end
    
  2. I am the ultimate noob. I did = in stead of ==

    Well if you have anymore suggestions please feel free to reply.
