KGPanel script help. Panel OnEvent of Target Target?

[Zirgo]

So I have this code that makes a panel appear when you select a target:

LASTELY... I saw this code for when a party forms:

In each Panel set the OnLoad script
 
 self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
 self:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")
 self:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")
Then in each Panel OnEvent script:
 
 local pmems = GetNumPartyMembers()
 local rmems = GetNumRaidMembers()
 if (pmems < 1 and rmems < 1) or (pmems > 0 and pmems < 6 and rmems < 6) then
    self:Hide()
 else
    self:Show()
 end

I tried putting the top part in the OnLoad and the bottom part in the OnEvent window but nothing happened :/ Does this make it so the panel only shows up when you're in a party? If so, is there a way to make it so the panel only appears when, say, there's only 2 people, or 3 people, and so forth?

Any and all help is appreciated and thank you.

EDIT: I just realized I had this problem with the IN COMBAT Script:

OnLoad
 
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
OnEvent
 
if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
  self:Hide()
elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
  self:Show()
end

It works fine after I reload UI, but every time I log in, the panel is there, even if im not in combat. After going into combat, though, it acts regularly and the panel disappears when not in combat. But only after reloading the ui or going into combat. It just bothers me logging in and having that panel active when its not supposed to.

OnLoad
 
self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_TARGET")
self:Hide()
OnEvent
 
if UnitExists("target") == nil then
   self:Hide()
   return
end
local cl = UnitClassification("target")
if (cl == "elite") or (cl == "worldboss") or (cl == "rareeleite") then
   self:SetBackdropColor(0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
   self:Show()
else
   self:SetBackdropColor(1, 1, 1, 1)
   self:Show()
end

Is there anyway someone could edit that for me so the panel appears ONLY when your target has a target selected?

ALSO

Is there a way to modify that code so the panel ONLY appears when you've selected a RARE mob with silver plate or an ELITE mob with golden plate?

OnLoad
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

to fix your in combat script.

You can do the same check for UnitExists just use "targettarget" instead of just "target".

thank you so much, guys. that really helped!

i just need help with that party/raid forming script now.

also, is there a reason the panels take about a second delay to appear after selecting a targets target?

EDIT: I got it to work by doing:

OnLoad
 
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
self:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")
 
OnEvent
 
local pmems = GetNumPartyMembers()
local rmems = GetNumRaidMembers()
if (pmems < 1) then
self:Hide()
elseif (pmems > 0) then
self:Show()
end
 
if (rmems > 5) then
self:Hide()
end

Take out all of that UnitExists and :Hide() / :Show() stuff from your combat script. Just parent the panel to the frame you want it to show with.

So what exactly would the parent be? Right now its UIParent.

Type /fstack and mouse over the frames you want to parent your panels to, it'll give you the name of the frame in the tooltip that pops up, just write that instead of UIParent and /fstack again to hide the tooltip.

but its a combat script., the panel appears when IN combat.. what tooltip would i attach that to?

[Learza]

That was meant to elaborate on Seerahs post...instead of scripting the target/targettarget part you can just parent the panel to a frame and /fstack will give you the name, this should get rid of the delay. Or did I misunderstand you question?

[Seerah]

I'm sorry, I mis-spoke. I meant for your third script.

The panel is "PitBull4_Frames_targettarget" and when I put that into the Parent prompt, it gets cutt off into "PitBull4_Frames_targettarg" Because it's two letters too long.

What happens if you put this in the panel's OnLoad script:

self:SetParent("PitBull4_Frames_targettarget")

?
