Goose  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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.

Where do I start?
Thank you for making this addon, it provides the tools many addons don't have in their own options to enable custom condition hiding.

But, I do have 1 little problem.
I'm trying to hide my Shadowed Unit Frames. My frame is SUFUnitplayer (my hp/m bars) and I've got [group] show; hide as condition. This works great for the minimap, but for SUF it just blinks. It's disappears for a second and is then back.

Any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance

The GUI for Goose is having some documented issues, which I hope to fix, but probably won't get to much before Cataclysm.

In the mean time, it seems to work fairly well if you stick to using the slash command to set your frames and conditions:

/goose PlayerFrame [someCondition] show; hide

I found the name of the default health and mana bars, as wells as the target frame outline frame (TargetFrameTextureFrame), but Im having trouble getting just what I want.

How can I hide all but the circular portions of the player and target frames?

Type /framestack and point at things.
for instance I want to hide the player portrait frame when out of combat and no target selected
If you're using the stock player frame it's really easy:
Code:
[combat][exists] show; hide

I've heard of people having issues with the GUI, but haven't a chance to test these rigorously myself yet.

Try setting frames through the /command:
/goose frameName [some,options] show; hide
or similar.

This isn't a problem that Goose will be able to solve easily. The three frames are separate widgets and Goose has no way of knowing which ones are already shown.

Your problem should be solvable, but it requires a little more (and more specific) logic than Goose was designed to handle. You're probably looking at a custom micromod.

I have three chat tabs at the moment and unfortunately no combination I enter seems to make Goose work correctly. As soon as I enter ChatFrame1 or DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME and the [combat] hide; show things go amiss. If I switch chat tabs ChatFrame1 is still visible.

To clarify all 3 tabs are docked to ChatFrame1. All 3 tabs and frame do hide on combat. But when combat is over and I switch to combat log or the 3rd tab the contents of ChatFrame1 are still visible in those frames.

There isn't presently a macro condition for being in a battleground, but you could use something like the following for Arenas:

[nocombat][target=arena1,exists] hide; show

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

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.
