Why does this not work.
anyone know how to fix it

Code:

A1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)

A1:SetParent(UIParent)

A1:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

A1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Textures\\A1.tga"})

A1:SetHeight(80)

A1:SetWidth(512)

A1:SetPoint("BOTTOM",-0,-1);

A1:SetFrameLevel(0)



A2 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)

A2:SetParent(A1)

A2:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

A2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Textures\\A1L.tga"})

A2:SetHeight(80)

A2:SetWidth(128)

A2:SetPoint("LEFT",0,-1);

A2:SetFrameLevel(0)



A3 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)

A3:SetParent(A1)

A3:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

A3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Textures\\A1R.tga"})

A3:SetHeight(80)

A3:SetWidth(128)

A3:SetPoint("RIGHT",0,-1);

A3:SetFrameLevel(0)

any sugestions

Code:

A1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)

A1:SetParent(UIParent)

The third arg to createframe is the parentframe.

Replace your two lines with

Code:

A1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

Got the normal state working.
But I must be missing something.

anyone knows what to do with the events

Code:

AI1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

AI1:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

if UnitInVehicle("player") then

        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1.tga"})

else

        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})

end

AI1:SetHeight(80)

AI1:SetWidth(512)

AI1:SetPoint("BOTTOM",-0,-1)

AI1:SetFrameLevel(0)



if not UnitInVehicle("player") then

        AI2 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

        AI2:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

        AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})

        AI2:SetHeight(80)

        AI2:SetWidth(128)

        AI2:SetPoint("RIGHT", AI1, "LEFT", 0, 0)

        AI2:SetFrameLevel(0)



        AI3 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

        AI3:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

        AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})

        AI3:SetHeight(80)

        AI3:SetWidth(128)

        AI3:SetPoint("LEFT", AI1, "RIGHT", 0, 0)

        AI3:SetFrameLevel(0)

end



AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE')

AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE')

Code:

AI1:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)

    if event == "UNIT_VEHICLE_ENTERED" then

        --show Vehicle UF

    elseif event == "UNIT_VEHCILE_EXITED" then

        --show normal UF

    end

end)

You Don't register your Frame to listen to any events... Use calls like

Frame:RegisterEvent('EVENTNAME')

To actually listen to events before the SetScript-call.

You're registering the right events, but your onevent is mixed up.

Code:

AI1:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)

    if event == "UNIT_VEHICLE_ENTERED" then

        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1.tga"})

    elseif event == "UNIT_VEHCILE_EXITED" then

        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})

        else

                AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"}) -- backup

        end

end)

Change them to UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE and UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE.

Overlooked that bit...

Change them to UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE and UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE.

thanks.. how can I mix that up :o

okay got it working.

but I need some sort off check, to make sure the textures show when I log in.
since my backup function fails.

Code:

AI1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

AI1:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

AI1:SetHeight(80)

AI1:SetWidth(512)

AI1:SetPoint("BOTTOM",-0,-1)

AI1:SetFrameLevel(0)



AI2 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

AI2:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

AI2:SetHeight(80)

AI2:SetWidth(128)

AI2:SetPoint("RIGHT", AI1, "LEFT", 0, 0)

AI2:SetFrameLevel(0)



AI3 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

AI3:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

AI3:SetHeight(80)

AI3:SetWidth(128)

AI3:SetPoint("LEFT", AI1, "RIGHT", 0, 0)

AI3:SetFrameLevel(0)



AI1:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)

    if event == "UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE" then

        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1.tga"})

                AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1L.tga"})

                AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1R.tga"})

--        elseif event == "UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE" then

--                AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})

--                AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})

--                AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})

        else

                AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})

                AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})

                AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})

        end

end)



AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE')

AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE')

Not sure If I should use

Code:

AI1:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

and use

Code:

AI1:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)

        if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then

                AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})

                AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})

                AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})

        elseif event == "UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE" then

        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1.tga"})

                AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1L.tga"})

                AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1R.tga"})

        else

                AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})

                AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})

                AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})

        end

end)



AI1:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE')

AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE')

this works, but i'm not sure if i would run into problems on other ocations.
could somebody give me some advice to use it this way or how to do this the best way

*note: I didnt read your code, just your question.

if your concerned about the code being called more than once

PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD is called pretty much anytime you hit a loading screen... going into an instance, leaving an instance, and what not

PLAYER_LOGIN is called at login or a reloading of the ui :)
