That was a big help I do not have any errors showing up any more, and I think I have a bit of a grasp on the functions now... maybe... let me know if any of my commenting or anything looks off.

However, I cant get the slash command to work. haven't gotten past that point yet.

having "SLASH_COMMANDS[addonCommand] = addon_slash" in the init function doesn't work anymore, and it wont work if moved to any of the other functions....

Sorry to be such a noob on all this, and thanks again for the help.

local addonName = "MMOUI"
local addonCommand  = "/mmo"
local addonVersion  = 0.01
local addonData = {}
 
-- Default Saved settings
addonData.defaults = {
    -- Bag
    overideBag = true   
}
 
-- Initialize addon data
local function init_addondata()
    
    -- Slash command handler
    SLASH_COMMANDS[addonCommand] = addon_slash
    
    -- Load saved variables
    mmoVars = ZO_SavedVars:New( 'MMOUI_VARS' , math.floor( addonVersion * 100 ) , nil , addonData.defaults )    
 
end
 
-- Addon is active and can call runtime functions
local function addon_activated( eventid )
    -- do stuff
    --if (mmoVars.overideBag == true) then
        --mmo_bag()
    --end
 
end
 
-- Load addon
local function addon_loaded(eventid, addon)
    
    -- if addon is for this script trigger init_addondata
    if addon == addon_name then init_addondata()
        -- trigger player activated passes this eventid to addon_activated function
        EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(addonName,EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED,addon_activated)
    end
        
end
 
local function addon_slash( text )
    d( "You are using ".. addonName .. " version " .. addonVersion )
    d( addonName .. " configuration settings are in the game settings interface!" )
end
 
-- trigger addon_loaded function, passes this eventid to function
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(addonName,EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED,addon_loaded)
