I have a question about the SendAddonMessage function: I see there are 2 player pointers, one called player and one called receiver. does it mean you are sending a message from a player to another player and that message is then intercepted and read by their addon?

The message you’re replying to has nothing to do with it. As for your case, since you want to send a message to your player (so to himself), the target is… himself

sending a message to yourself will be rejected by the client right?

It's not "yourself" because the entity is not shared from the server to the client.
For the server you use Player entity to send message to "Bob" in game (Bob is you).
For the client Bob just received a message

Now for the hard part. the data I want to send is in c++ collections. is there a way I can use Eluna's SendAddonMessage from C++, or recreate this function in c++ (i've been trying and failing for days), or is there a way for eluna to get this data somehow? or maybe I can intercept this packet and recreate it in c++ somehow?
