Weird parenting Problem

Code:

local function Border(arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5,arg6)

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", "nil", arg1)

f:SetSize(arg2, arg3)

f:SetPoint(arg4,arg5,arg6 )

f:SetBackdrop({

bgFile = "",

edgeFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Border_blue.blp",

edgeSize = 14,

})

f:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 0)

f:SetBackdropBorderColor(1, 1, 1)        

end





local frame = CreateFrame("FRAME");

frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")

function frame:OnEvent(event, arg1)



if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and arg1 == "Blizzard_TalentUI" then

child1,child2 = PlayerTalentFrameSpecializationSpellScrollFrameScrollChildAbility1:GetRegions();

child1:Hide()

child2:SetTexCoord(0.85, 0.15, 0.15, 0.85)

Border(PlayerTalentFrameSpecializationSpellScrollFrameScrollChildAbility1,58,58,"Center",0,0)

                

end

end





frame:SetScript("OnEvent", frame.OnEvent);

works just fine, however if i try to do the same with PlayerTalentFrameSpecializationSpellScrollFrameScrollChildAbility2, 3 or 4 it throws me a attempt to index global error.

I took a look at the Blizzard-TalentUi.lua but couldnt find anything that makes those different from the first one :S

After opening the window, i can hide that specific frame just fine with /run :Hide() so i guess it's registered after the first one?

The frames don't exist until PlayerTalentFrame_CreateSpecSpellButton is called with the ability index as the second argument.

Hook that function when ADDON_LOADED fires for Blizzard_TalentUI and then parent whatever you need to the created frame within the hook.

Sounds complicated :| Never worked with hooking functions...

edit: It looks like i somehow got it together. Thanks :)

I managed to parent a border to the Frame, now whats left is hiding the one child and the settexcoords stuff

Example code, this'll set the scale of spec buttons 2-<whatever the limit is> to be twice as large.

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame");
f:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, arg1)
      -- These are not the addons you're looking for.
      if(event ~= "ADDON_LOADED"
      or arg1 ~= "Blizzard_TalentUI") then
         return;
      end
      -- Hook function.
      hooksecurefunc("PlayerTalentFrame_CreateSpecSpellButton", function(frame, index)
            -- Determine the name of the created frame.
            local scrollChild = frame.spellsScroll.child;
            local name = scrollChild:GetName() .. "Ability" .. index;
            local button = _G[name];
            -- And now do what you need with the button!
            print(button);
            button:SetScale(2.0);
      end);
      -- In addition, note that SpellSpecButton1 SHOULD exist when the hook is already in place. So you'll need to do stuff to it now as well.
end);

Edit: Oh, you figured it out. Damn it :p

Ok i got it to work now, you're my hero :D

And i learned something new ^.^
