focustarget targetting event (solved)

So trying to add the !beautycase border to the focus target frame and I figured

"Well if I just run FocusFrameToTPortraitModel:CreateBorder(8,1,1,1) all I'm gonna get is

"Message: Interface\AddOns\BobUI\modules\unitframes.lua:647: attempt to index global 'FocusFrameToTPortraitModel' (a nil value)"

So I should probably make a script looking like this

Lua Code:

local w = CreateFrame("Frame")
w:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED")
function w:OnEvent(event, ...)
  event == "PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED" then
  FocusFrameToTPortraitModel:CreateBorder(8,1,1,1)
end
w:SetScript("OnEvent", w.OnEvent)

So add that stuff to my addon (whoa unitframes btw) and low and behold I still get

"Message: Interface\AddOns\BobUI\modules\unitframes.lua:647: attempt to index global 'FocusFrameToTPortraitModel' (a nil value)"

when I add a focus something for the first time, but anytime after I do that it works perfectly

So i figured "I must be using the wrong event"

but alas "PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED" the only event I found pertaining to the focus target

and now I'm all like "I need more helpz" so i dialed my buddies here at wowinterface and made a thread

FocusFrameToTPortraitModel is the frame created by adapt for the 3d portraits.

Why don't you just modify Adapt to add the border if it's creating the frame?

I guess you could do something like wait for ADDON_LOADED and watch for Adapt, then call

Lua Code:

hooksecurefunc(Adapt, 'CreateModel', function(texture)
  if texture:GetName() ~= "FocusFrameToTPortrait" then return end
  -- do stuff
end)

Cause I'd have to reapply the changes if Gello was to change it

Then simply add the EventRegister into the hookfunc.

Lua Code:

local w = CreateFrame("Frame")
function w:OnEvent(event, ...)
 
  event == "PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED" then
 
  FocusFrameToTPortraitModel:CreateBorder(8,1,1,1)
 
end
w:SetScript("OnEvent", w.OnEvent)
 
hooksecurefunc(Adapt, 'CreateModel', function(texture)
 
  if texture:GetName() ~= "FocusFrameToTPortrait" then return end
 
  FocusFrameToTPortraitModel:CreateBorder(8,1,1,1)
  
  w:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED")
 
end)
