kgPanels Addon Dependancy Scripts?

[suicidalkatt]

So I'm trying to make a particular panel not show when a particular addon isn't loaded.

Is that possible?

Register for the event ADDON_LOADED. Then, in your event code, check if the AddOn you want is loaded, and hide or show the frame.

Even easier, go to the specific panel > scripts > scripts dependency and put the name of the addon in that box (like recount). If the addon isn't loaded, the script won't even do anything.

should work if you parent the panel to a frame created by the addon.

I tried that but to no avail.

Trying to get this to work with "Skada" as the addon name.

Didn't seem to do anything.

There's no way to properly parent the frame to skada with its "non-frame-iness".

would it just be:

self.Hide()
if arg1 == "Skada" then
self.Show()
end

??

No? I was able to add Skada to my Dash because it had an addon name... (I don't have it installed atm, though, and I had to clear my Dash saved vars, though, so I can't tell you what I used. I just used /framestack to find it though.)

Haven't tried framestack, I'll try it.

What would be the proper coding for the OnEvent?

And that is exactly what the dependecy box does. it delays OnLoad of you addon scrip till the specified addon is loaded.

For parenting purposes SkadaBarWindowSkada seems to work just fine for me. Might be useful to you as well for your needs.

[Taryble]

Yeah, SkadaBarWindowSkada works for me as well.

[suicidalkatt]

Using the addon dependency didn't seem to work for me.

Is there an alternative method with using ADDON_LOADED?

Edit: I'm making a button that shows and hides skada, but I'd like the button to not show if skada isn't loaded.

For now I'm just using IsAddOnLoaded("Skada") in the OnClick.

Use that in the panel's OnLoad instead.

Thanks for that suggestion, that seems to work well.

OnLoad:

if IsAddOnLoaded("Skada") then
self:Show()
else
self:Hide()
end

OnEnter:

local c = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[select(2, UnitClass("player"))]
self.bg:SetGradientAlpha("VERTICAL",c.r,c.g,c.b,1,0.074,0.074,0.074,1)

OnLeave:

self.bg:SetGradientAlpha("VERTICAL",0.28,0.28,0.28,1,0.074,0.074,0.074,1)

OnClick:

if pressed and IsAddOnLoaded("Skada") then
Skada:ToggleWindow()
self:SetAlpha(0.25)
elseif released then
self:SetAlpha(1)
end

Thank you all for your suggestions as well <3
