This is no longer a part of the World of Warcraft API. Behavior now controlled by the autoLootDefault CVar. Use GetCVar. It was removed in patch 3.0.

Returns the state of Auto Loot.

state = GetAutoLootDefault();

Returns Edit

state 

Boolean - 1 if auto loot is enabled, nil if disabled.

Example Edit

This toggles Auto Loot on and off when used in a macro spot.

/script if (GetAutoLootDefault()) then SetAutoLootDefault(false); message("Auto Loot is off."); else SetAutoLootDefault(true); print("Auto Loot is on."); end;

or (easier to change if the need arises)

/script local onOff = {["1"] = "on",["nil"] = "off"}; SetAutoLootDefault(not GetAutoLootDefault()); print("Auto Loot is "..onOff[tostring(GetAutoLootDefault())]..".");

Result

Pops up a window informing the user of the state of Auto Loot. Very useful for toggling Auto Loot on the fly.
