register_event

if you are just goin to just echo or add an advice in chat, you should do it in his own addon, instead of gearswap, and use the incoming chunk event.

any clue as to how i would go about that << very noobish coder

Should help with that.  

I guess I'm kind of confused.   Without even windower - when something casts spell it echos to your screen    Are you wanting to do something specific with it?  re-cast it from one characters window to another?

There are a lot of addons that help with chat filtering out there to make this stuff easier.

I have an addon called "React"  which reacts to mobs doing specific actions  (specific named, not simply "casting a spell - but specifically "Casting Fire VI" for example.  )   Works well in conjunction with gearswap as you could chose to react to a mob casting a spell by equipping gear sets etc (like for DT/MDT/MEVA etc)

yeah i was going to try out your addon for what i want.
