Threat Bar

[ncbadgirl]

Yet back again for some help. Trying to move this threat bar..as it stays put after moving the unitframes. I've played with the coding in lib to either break it..or just srsly mess it up. /facepalm.

What I am looking to do is just place it right under the target frame between buffs/debuffs as it's suppost to.

However this is what I have atm

lib.ThreatBar = function(self)
if cfg.ThreatBar then
	local ThreatBar = CreateFrame("StatusBar", self:GetName()..'_ThreatBar', UIParent)
	ThreatBar:SetFrameLevel(5)
	ThreatBar:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOM", cfg.targetx, cfg.targety-45)
	ThreatBar:SetWidth(245)
	ThreatBar:SetHeight(5)	  
	ThreatBar:SetStatusBarTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
	ThreatBar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false)	   
	ThreatBar.Title = SetFontString(ThreatBar, cfg.font)
	ThreatBar.Title:SetText("Threat:")
	ThreatBar.Title:SetPoint("RIGHT", ThreatBar, "CENTER", -2, 0)
	ThreatBar.Text = SetFontString(ThreatBar, cfg.font)
	ThreatBar.Text:SetPoint("LEFT", ThreatBar, "CENTER", 2, 0)			  
	ThreatBar.bg = ThreatBar:CreateTexture(nil, 'BORDER')
	ThreatBar.bg:SetAllPoints(ThreatBar)
	ThreatBar.bg:SetTexture(0,0,0)	   
	ThreatBar.useRawThreat = false
	
	local h = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, ThreatBar)
	h:SetFrameLevel(4)
	h:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-5,5)
	h:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",5,-5)
	frame1px1(h)
	CreateShadow(h)
	
	self.ThreatBar = ThreatBar
end

"ThreatBar:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOM", cfg.targetx, cfg.targety-45)" and h:SetFrameLevel(4)
h:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-5,5)
h:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",5,-5)
Have been my targets for trying to move it. I just guess I am doing it wrong.
Thank again for the help.

1. You anchor your bar to UIParent, and not the oUF frame.
2. The parent for both of your frames are nil, which equals to WordlFrame. Change these to self or another frame parented to self.

Did I add I am new to this? Lol sorry still unsure what to go about as far as moving it? Sorry =/

Point 1. is the reason for why it doesn't move with your frame. ie.:
[code[ThreatBar:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOM", cfg.targetx, cfg.targety-45)[/code]

You might want to read up on :SetPoint.

You need to change the anchoring to be correct for `self', not `UIParent'. (point bottom, relative point top should work fine on self, with proper x/y values).

Point 2. is for the next issue you _might_ get, and that's the threat bar not hiding with your frame. You can add the parent argument to CreateFrame or use :SetParent to do so.
