BT4 Smooth bar fading.

[Noxley]

Hello,

Is there an option to smoothly fade in and out the bars of Bartender4? I tried: fade and show. But they both just instantly pop in and out the bar. Lets say I want the bars to fade in and out over a second from 0% opacity to 100%. Anyway to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Is there anyone with a solution for this?

Check the Bartender4 page over on WoWAce. That would be the Custom State Header page.

Just click the link. It's already set up for the correct page.

You're welcome.

I suppose there is no way to smoothly fade out, only to have it instantly show and hide.. Too bad

I'm not sure how it would be supported directly within the addon, but I would think adding some sort of OnUpdate function that is triggered by whatever event you are looking for to change the opacity a couple of times over whatever timeframe you want.

In theory, in my head at least, this could produce some sort "smooth-ish" fade.


Something Like this would increase the opacity by 20% every .2 seconds.

The variables below are generic and do not directly apply to bartender.

local throttle = 0.2
local counter = 0
local timer = 0
 
local function OnUpdate(self, elapsed)
    local opacity   
    counter = counter + elapsed
    timer = timer + elapsed
    if counter >=throttle then
        counter = 0
        opacity = opacity + 0.2
    end 
end
