Killing the loss of control actionbutton cooldown

[zork]

Source: http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/23...orking-method/

local disableLossOfControlCooldown = function()
  for _, b in pairs(ActionBarActionEventsFrame.frames) do 
    b.cooldown:SetLossOfControlCooldown(0,0) 
  end
end
 
local f = CreateFrame("Frame") 
f:RegisterEvent("LOSS_OF_CONTROL_ADDED") 
f:RegisterEvent("LOSS_OF_CONTROL_UPDATE") 
f:SetScript("OnEvent", disableLossOfControlCooldown)

Not sure if there is anything better. Maybe it even possible to just kill SetLossOfControlCooldown.

Is it triggered by an event or on the C-side? If event, just unregistered it would suffice. :P If not then you could override SetLossOfControlCooldown to simply do nothing on the action bar cooldown widgets.

Wish I'd seen this before I uploaded a small addon.

It's not using this exact method but it's close.

@Vlad: unfortunately the red-out cooldown on the actionbars is triggered c-side, unregistering the events accomplishes nothing.

Why would they make this C-side when the API is lua side? ... makes no sense!

Couldn't you just securehook the actual SetLossOfControlCooldown method on the button metatable, like OmniCC does for SetCooldown, and turn it off every time it's turned on?

[semlar]

local x = ActionButton1Cooldown.SetLossOfControlCooldown
hooksecurefunc(getmetatable(ActionButton1Cooldown).__index, 'SetLossOfControlCooldown', function(s) x(s,0,0) end)

Still causes a cooldown shine, probably not the ideal solution.

I think replacing the function outright will end up causing taint though.
