Hi,

Is it possible to show/hide frames based on the character spec. e.g. only show a frame if you are Demonology spec and hide it if your Affliction or Destruction?

Thanks

OnLoad:

Code:

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_SPECIALIZATION_CHANGED")

if GetSpecialization() == 2 then
    self:Show()
else
    self:Hide()
end

OnEvent:

Code:

if GetSpecialization() == 2 then
    self:Show()
else
    self:Hide()
end

If you want to use it on other classes, you'll need to change the 2 to whichever spec you want to check for. They go in the same order as the panels in the talent frame, so for your warlock, 1 would be Affliction and 3 would be Destruction, while on a shaman 1 is Elemental, 2 is Enhancement, and 3 is Restoration.

Thanks for the help really appreciate it.

If you don't mind could you see if this is how I should be making the scripts. This is to make Soul Shard 4 show / hide:

if GetSpecialization() == 1 and UnitPower("player",SPELL_POWER_SOUL_SHARDS) >= 4 then
self:Show()
else
self:Hide()
end

It works fine but is there a better way of doing this?

Also is there an archive of what each SPELL_POWER is? -- Think I found this but it says SPELL_POWER_CHI is obsolite. How would I make my frame work for Chi?

SPELL_POWER_LIGHT_FORCE is the one to look for.

You can find a list of all the power types here:

Chi currently uses SPELL_POWER_LIGHT_FORCE. There is a corresponding SPELL_POWER_DARK_FORCE but it's not used for anything as far as I know.

Don't forget to register for the UNIT_POWER event in your panel's OnLoad, too.

At Blizzcon 2011 when they first let you try out monks on their Mists of Pandaria preview area, they originally gave monks abilities that gave both a light or a dark chi (which I really thought gave monks a very very unique combat system). Seems they stuck with the power names from back then.
