Make this script work in combat?

/run local f={PlayerFrame} for i=1,#f do f[i]:EnableMouse(0)end

This makes it so I can click through my player frame but I want to use this in combat. How do I do this?

Not possible. You cannot modify the mouse-enabled state of secure frames while in combat. The best you could do would be to enable the mouse when you enter combat, and disable it again when you leave.

Also, that is a horribly written macro. I'm guessing you found it, or based it on something you found, on ArenaJunkies. You can just do this instead:

Code:

/run PlayerFrame:EnableMouse(false)

If you want it to be a toggle:

Code:

/run PlayerFrame:EnableMouse(not PlayerFrame:IsMouseEnabled())

If you want to automatically enable the mouse during combat, and disable it out of combat:

Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")

f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")

f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()

    if InCombatLockdown() then return end

    PlayerFrame:EnableMouse(UnitAffectingCombat("player"))

end)

If you need help turning the above code into an addon, copy and paste it into this page:

Shouldn't that be "not PlayerFrame:IsMouseEnabled()" in order to toggle it? :)

Quoted for truth.

A more fitting solution would be to enable the mouse based on modifier state (ctrl/shift/alt keys):

lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
 
function f:Event = function()
    if InCombatLockdown() then return end
    PlayerFrame:EnableMouse(IsModifierKeyDown())
end
 
function f:Load()
     PlayerFrame:EnableMouse(false)
     self:UnregisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
     self:RegisterEvent("MODIFIER_STATE_CHANGED")
     self:SetScript("OnEvent", f.Event)
     self.Load = nil
end
 
if InCombatLockDown() then
     f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
     f:SetScript("OnEvent", f.Load)
else
     f:Load()
end

Untested, and probably has errors, but I think something like this would work :)

It's possible to change the attributes on the frames, so you could for example only click the frame if you're holding down shift.

Lua Code:

PlayerFrame:SetAttribute('*type1', nil)
PlayerFrame:SetAttribute('shift-type1', 'target')

That actually sounds a lot better than what I'm trying to do. How do I put this in the game? To be honest I'm not too familiar with all this.

Fixed the missing "not" in my original post.

That doesn't affect the frame's mouse-interactability, though. You still can't click through the frame. All the click attributes do is change what happens when you click on the frame. Using the above code, clicking on the frame without holding Shift would simply create a "dead zone" where clicks did nothing at all.

A better overall solution might be to simply move the frames to some part of the screen you aren't accidentally clicking all the time.

Use it in a macro, prefixed with /run.
Or better, make an addon out of it: http://addon.ziuo.net/

Hmm, this got me thinking... Would this not be possible with a custom state, or are custom states not allowed on unitframes (Is SecureUnitButtonTemplate inheriting attributes/methods of SecureHandlerStateTemplate)?

lua Code:

PlayerFrame:SetAttribute("_onstate-mousestate", [[ 
    self:EnableMouse(newstate == "enabled")
]]);
-- Normal, not listening to shift
RegisterStateDriver(PlayerFrame, "mousestate", "[combat] disabled; enabled");
-- Disable clicking in combat unless ctrl/shift/alt is pressed
-- RegisterStateDriver(PlayerFrame, "mousestate", "[mod] enabled; [combat] disabled; enabled");

Yes, although I'm not sure if you can use it on PlayerFrame or not, and not sure about :EnableMouse() inside the wrapper.

If this worked then it would help me with what I'm trying to do. I was just using "PlayerFrame" as an example I really wanted get a code that would make it so that I could click through raid frames during combat unless a modifier is being used like shift,ctrl,alt. Instead of "PlayerFrame" it would be "CompactRaidGroup1Member1" (I would actually have to do it for every raid member up to 10 because I just want it for 10 mans so CompactRaidGroup1Member2, CompactRaidGroup1Member3 etc).

I just tried this and it didn't work for PlayerFrame and I tried in and out of combat.
