Arena targets - need help

[camelot10]

Anyone know ouf layout or maybe documentation or link somewhere where i can read how to add arena enemys frames into my ouf layout?

[Waverian]

local arena = {}
for i = 1, 5 do
	arena[i] = oUF:Spawn("arena"..i, "oUF_Stiletto_Arena"..i)
	if i == 1 then
		arena[i]:SetPoint("CENTER", 400, -100)
	else
		arena[i]:SetPoint("TOP", arena[i-1], "BOTTOM", 0, -10)
	end
end

Might be a cleaner way to do it but I couldn't find headers or anything like that. It works fine, though.

I've been trying this for a few hours now, but I cant get it spawned.

My oUF_Arena looks like this:

if(self:GetParent():GetName():match"oUF_Arena") then
		self:SetWidth(160)
		self:SetHeight(20)
		self.Health:SetHeight(15)
		self.Power:SetHeight(3)
		self.Power.value:Hide()
		self.Health.value:SetPoint("RIGHT", 0 , 9)
		self.Name:SetPoint("LEFT", 0, 9)
end

Anyone who can help?

I think the problem is your conditional. You'd use :GetParent():GetName() on headers, but the arena frames when spawned this way aren't constructed by a header. The layout function is called 5 times, one for each arena frame, with the 'self' being a reference to the actual frame (self:GetName():match"...").

Alternatively you can use a separate layout function entirely (I used this method since my arena frames varied a lot from my normal frames):

<the rest of your layout>
 
local ArenaStyle = function(self, unit)
-- layout bits
end
 
oUF:RegisterStyle('MyLayoutArena', ArenaStyle)
oUF:SetActiveStyle('MyLayoutArena')
 
-- spawn arena frames

Thanks alot, self:GetName():match"..." worked like a charm.

How do I make it so that when someone in arena stealth, the frame does not disappear?

I included arena frames to my layout. I also added arena frame targets like this...

	if(unit and unit:find('arena%dtarget')) then
... style of arena targets ... 
end

I spawn them like this...

local arenaTarget = {}
for i = 1, 5 do
	arenaTarget[i] = oUF:Spawn('arena'..i..'target', 'oUF_Arena'..i..'Target')
	if i == 1 then
	arenaTarget[i]:SetPoint('TOP', arena[1], 'BOTTOM', 0, -4)
	elseif i == 2 then
	arenaTarget[i]:SetPoint('TOP', arena[2], 'BOTTOM', 0, -4)
	elseif i == 3 then
	arenaTarget[i]:SetPoint('TOP', arena[3], 'BOTTOM', 0, -4)
	elseif i == 4 then
	arenaTarget[i]:SetPoint('TOP', arena[4], 'BOTTOM', 0, -4)
	elseif i == 5 then
	arenaTarget[i]:SetPoint('TOP', arena[5], 'BOTTOM', 0, -4)	
	end
end

For some funny reason, those frames seem to inherit their layout code from "some" (not sure which, maybe target, maybe focus, maybe party ... it looks by default like one of those) other unit frame. Which means I basically do have to override the code to be able to change it (i.e. ClearSetPoints() to move things or Hide() things that shouldn't be there, but are there on another frame). Strange, I've never seen that happen before, for any other frames. Am I addressing them wrong or how/why does this happen?

What you could do is create different layout (very different by style just for the test) and see what arena targets looks like in order to know which layout they imitate.


Maybe that will become easier to see what's misplaced, and from which layout it comes, when you have very different layouts
