Need help disabling/Enabling Blizzard Multi Bars!

Mayron · 10-19-12, 10:33 AM

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to make a script that turns on and off the Blizzard MultiBar's on the left and right?

I want to add it to a button I have on my UI and not sure what I should be looking for. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I do not want to use MultiBarLeft:Hide() for example because I need it to actually enable and disable for the purpose of moving UI elements next to it. Hiding them or showing them just changes their visibility.

Last I checked, these are the global variables that the UI uses to control whether the extra actionbars are enabled or disabled. Their values are boolean (true for enabled/false or nil for disabled).

Code:

SHOW_MULTI_ACTIONBAR_1 = false
SHOW_MULTI_ACTIONBAR_2 = false
SHOW_MULTI_ACTIONBAR_3 = false
SHOW_MULTI_ACTIONBAR_4 = true

Thank you, really appreciate it!

You should use the relevant CVars instead of changing global variables. Changing the globals will cause taint, and will probably not persist between sessions.

bottomLeftActionBar
bottomRightActionBar
rightActionBar
rightTwoActionBar

In a macro:

Code:

/console bottomLeftActionBar 0

In a script:

Code:

SetCVar("bottomLeftActionBar", 0)

Use 0 to turn the bar off, or 1 to turn it on.
