unitTag returning int

[morton.bia]

Im trying to test the unitTag to make sure its player so I have

function expReceived (unitTag, exp, maxExp, reason)
  if ( unitTag ~= 'player' ) then
    d(unitTag)
    return
  end
end

 EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("test" , EVENT_EXPERIENCE_UPDATE, expReceived)

I have the d(unitTag) to see what im getting when its not player. Everytime i get exp im getting a number as the unittag and my check is returning true when it should return false. I even checked against other addons and the other ones work but mine doesnt want to return correctly.

This is my first addon so any help would be appreciated

in front of unit tag in the function header line put eventID. The first value in event functions is the ID of the event itself followed by its data.

When testing I see group2 as the unittag now, I do have 2 pets with me, does that mean they got exp but i didnt? o0

Use GetUnitName(unitTag) to get the name of the unit and see what that says. It simply depends on who the unitTag belongs to. I didn't realise it put you in a group if you had a pet so that's interesting.

You can also use IsUnitPlayer(unitTag) to find out if the unit is the player.
