I need some help with 1.9 changes
 

Hi
I made a small addon for myself that tracks the number of the X item I have in my inventory. I recently tested it on the testrealms and it doesn't work anymore. So I'm wondering. How do I get the count of the X item and return it to a text after 1.9?

thx

function UpdateTest()
local TestR = 0;
local TestRI = 0;
local tooltip = getglobal("TestTooltip");
for bag=4, 0, -1 do
local size = GetContainerNumSlots(bag);
if (size > 0) then
for slot=1, size, 1 do
local texture, itemCount = GetContainerItemInfo(bag, slot);
if (itemCount) then
local itemName = nil;
tooltip:SetBagItem(bag, slot);
local ttext = getglobal("TestTextLeft1");
if (ttext and ttext:IsVisible() and ttext:GetText() ~= nil)
then
itemName = ttext:GetText();
if (itemName ~= nil and itemName == ( R1 ) and
UnitLevel("Player")>50 and UnitLevel("Player")<60) then
TestR = Test+ itemCount;
TestText:SetText(TestR);



That is a basic view of how my code looks like right now. Anyone have a idea why that won't work on the test realm?

Total shot in the dark but try adding the line in bold:

if (itemCount) then
local itemName = nil;
tooltip:SetOwner(this)
tooltip:SetBagItem(bag, slot);
local ttext = getglobal("TestTextLeft1");

I didn't follow the discussion on IRC but I seem to recall something about tooltips not working well if a SetOwner didn't work, or something like that. IsVisible was mentioned in there also. Sorry that's not much information.

That solved the problem :) Thx very much m8 :D

Oh from http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...p=1#post270816

Take out the SetOwner and try using IsShown instead of IsVisible.

I think that's the more correct fix than setting owner (which has a SetPoint and stuff involved which can make the process take longer)

Looks better to use that one yes. Well thx again :) Nice link too btw.
