Create a Border for RaidTargetIcons

[FaulTier]

Hi there.

As i'm currently playing around with my oUF_Fauli, i'd like to set the RaidTargetIcons outside my Unitframes - but as they look quite ugly without an background and border, i'd like to create each of them for the RaidIcons of every Unitframe from oUF.

Sadly, with "/framestack" I won't get any framenames for those RaidIcons.

Anyone got Ideas how to parent anything to oUF generated RaidTargetIcons?

Use framestack to find the name of your unitframes, then append .RaidIcon to it.
If you don't set a name for your frames in :Spawn(), oUF does it for you (oUF_<stylename><unit>)

In your case, try this:

oUF_FauliGlobalPlayer.RaidIcon
oUF_FauliGlobalFocus.RaidIcon
oUF_FauliBossBoss1.RaidIcon

etc..

alright - thanks so far!
How ever, it seems I'm too dumb right now, to get it work.
I added the following lines to my lib.lua

-- Create RaidIconsBackdrop and Border
lib.CreateRaidIconBorder = function(f)
    IB = CreateFrame("Frame", f.IconBorder, f.RaidIcon)
    IB:SetStatusBarTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
    IB:SetPoint("CENTER", f.RaidIcon, "CENTER", 0, 0)
    IB:SetFrameLevel(5)
    IB:Show()
end

and ofc added "lib.CreateRaidIconBorder(self) to my frame in core.lua - i'm getting the following error:

1x Wrong object type for function

What am I doing wrong or how would you realise it?

If this is your own layout, why are you creating a separate function to put a backdrop on the raid target icon? Just add the backdrop in the same place you create the icon in the first place.

Also, you can't parent a frame to a texture, and the second argument to CreateFrame must be either a string or nil (and for something like this should be nil), one of which is why you're getting that error.

local iconFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, f)
iconFrame:SetPoint("RIGHT", 5, 0)
iconFrame:SetSize(24, 24)

iconFrame:SetBackdrop({
     bgFile = "Interface\\BUTTONS\\WHITE8x8", tile = true, tileSize = 8,
     edgeFile = "Interface\\BUTTONS\\WHITE8x8", edgeSize = 1,
     insets = { left = 1, right = 1, top = 1, bottom = 1 }
})
iconFrame:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 0.5)
iconFrame:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0, 1)

local icon = iconFrame:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")
icon:SetAllPoints(true)
icon:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-RaidTargetingIcons")
iconFrame.icon = icon

iconFrame.Override = function(self, event)
     local index = GetRaidTargetIndex(self.unit)
     if index then
          SetRaidTargetIconTexture(self.RaidIcon.icon, index)
          self.RaidIcon:Show()
     else
          self.RaidIcon:Hide()
     end
end

f.RaidIcon = iconFrame
