Have you thought about giving party pets and all things alike an own .. err, term(?!) which can be used to address them, like you did with party and raid instead of the "GetPArent() .... whatever" thing it was in the past?
I still think it's quite annoying that frames like party pets inherit all and everything from party and one has to "ClearAllPoints()" etc. everything to clean them up. But maybe I'm just doing it wrong - spawning them through xml, atm. |
Take a look at the experimental branch. It's there to solve exactly what you're asking for. I explained some of it in the
commit.
The following template should work fine, but I haven't gotten to test it yet:
Code:
<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/">
<Button name="oUF_MySeparateHeaderTemplate" inherits="SecureUnitButtonTemplate" hidden="true" virtual="true">
<Attributes>
<Attribute name="oUF-onlyProcessChildren" type="boolean" value="true"/>
</Attributes>
<Frames>
<!-- You get UnitButtonUnit with this btw :p -->
<Button name="$parentUnit" inherits="SecureUnitButtonTemplate">
<Attributes>
<Attribute name="useparent-unit" type="boolean" value="true"/>
<Attribute name="type1" type="string" value="target"/>
<Attribute name="initial-unitWatch" type="boolean" value="true"/>
</Attributes>
</Button>
<Button name="$parentPet" inherits="SecureUnitButtonTemplate">
<Attributes>
<Attribute name="unitsuffix" type="string" value="pet"/>
<Attribute name="useparent-unit" type="boolean" value="true"/>
<Attribute name="type1" type="string" value="target"/>
<Attribute name="initial-unitWatch" type="boolean" value="true"/>
</Attributes>
</Button>
<Button name="$parentTarget" inherits="SecureUnitButtonTemplate">
<Attributes>
<Attribute name="unitsuffix" type="string" value="target"/>
<Attribute name="useparent-unit" type="boolean" value="true"/>
<Attribute name="type1" type="string" value="target"/>
<Attribute name="initial-unitWatch" type="boolean" value="true"/>
</Attributes>
</Button>
</Frames>
</Button>
</Ui>
Do notice that the above template lacks anchoring, as that's pretty much up to you. It's also possible to implement this with the current 1.4.x/1.5.x code, but it's a bit more PITA.
