Goose

Version: 1.6b

by: Alestane [More]

Goose is a simple state-based addon that dynamically hides selected chosen interface elements under the macro-able conditions of your choice. It's configured through the new Interface Options control panel. It can select frames based on a simple global name or a specific Lua identity.

1.5b - stripped out an issue with bad frame references.

1.3b - cleaned up a few more bad variable names.

1.2b - fixed that blasted InCombatLockDown bug.

1.1b - added a slash command for macro use:
/goose (open config)
/goose frame (unregister frame)
/goose frame conditions (register frame)

1.0b - Updated the add-on for the new Interface Options, and made it generically able to hide or show any frame on any conditions.

This question is almost unfairly easy, because it's one of the first things I did testing Goose: The frame name is "MinimapCluster" and the conditions are "[combat] hide; show".

You can set this up by opening the Interface Options dialog, clicking on the AddOns tab, and using the Add Frame to Control List button, or by typing /goose MinimapCluster [combat] hide; show into your chatline. Case is important.

Goose does not support that feature. It relies entirely on the blizzard set of macro conditionals to indicate whether things should be shown or hidden, and there are no conditionals for frame focus.

Any Idea what I need to do?

If you check the main description page of EventHorizon, it mentions instructions for Goose.
Show or hide frame: EventHorizonHandle
when: [combat] show; hide

I've been able to verify that this works, too.

Chat bubbles are rendered by the 3D engine and I believe there's a CVar that controls them.

I think there's a way to show them while the UI is hidden but it won't have anything to do with Goose.

Duskmoon A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	Hello, first let me say thank you for developing this addon, it's what I've been looking for a long time! I have a question about how to write a condition to hide a frame based on being in party or raid. To be specific I want my Recount_MainWindow to show only if I am grouped (party or raid). I haven't been able to figure it out, whatever I typed in, didn't work. Thanks to anyone who replies.

If Recount doesn't have such an option of its own, you should be able to configure this behavior with the command (or equivalent use of the GUI):

/goose Recount_MainWindow [group] show; hide

Presently, Goose only supports straight visibility. It's certainly possible for an add-on to set a frame's opacity (alpha) in response to conditions, but enabling this is outside Goose's scope at the moment.

I have this problem too, but the entries are not deleted, they are just not visible on my screen. If I add them all at once, I can add many many many entries, but if I want to go back and edit them I cannot, but they still work. Here's how to reproduce this for me:

Open Goose config.
Add 5 entries. See your frames do what they are supposed to.
Close config.
Open config again.
See that there are either: 3 entries showing (the first 3) or that there are no entries showing (seems to happen if there are a lot of entries; the former happens if there are only about 4 or 5).
Press "Add." You will get an entry already filled out with information from a previous entry.

On another note, does anyone know if there is some conditional I can set for being in a vehicle? I want frames to show if I'm in one, but the only thing I can find is [pet], and as a warlock this is not ideal for me.

rookieofyear619 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Is there anyway to hide a frame when out of combat, as well as anytime im in arena or battlegrounds regardless of combat state. I use EventHorizon for pve, but not for pvp, and it just seems in the way in pvp, so i want to hide it when im in arenas and BG's, but still use it when im in combat elsewhere. Thanks
