oUF layout with group vehicles?

[zork]

Is there a layout out there that can handle the vehicle swapping in groups/raid groups?

Or that handles vehicles in groups/raids at all? (By spawning player pets for example...not sure)

I've got a custom layout for just handling Raid/party groups that includes spawning of pets/vehicles.

It's based on the style of oUF_P3lim, but should be fairly easy to modify.

You can take a look at it here.


Swapping units when entering a vehicle is not supported yet as I've not had need for that feature so far.

One of my raid layouts works with vehicle swapping, though the objects won't update.

viv 3.8 had party and raid pets. It worked with vehicles (show vehicle as pet). 4.x has raidpets, too. Party pets aren't implemented, yet.

I played around a little (like 100 hours....) and came up with a way to realize it in my oUF-layout.
I added my own custom "VehicleSwitch2"-element

local oUF = _G.oUF
assert(oUF, "oUF not found")

-- how long the OnUpdate should run on the frame after vehicle-state changed
local UPDATE_TIME = 3

local vehicleDelayFrame = CreateFrame('Frame')
local affectedFrames = {}

local function updateAllElements(frame)
	for _, v in ipairs(frame.__elements) do
		v(frame, 'UpdateElement', frame.unit)
	end
end

local function forceUpdate(self, elapsed)
	for k,v in pairs(affectedFrames) do
		if k.unit and UnitExists(k.unit) then
			updateAllElements(k)
			affectedFrames[k] = nil
			return
		end

		local afterUpdate = v - elapsed
		if afterUpdate < 0 then
			afterUpdate = nil
		end
		affectedFrames[k] = afterUpdate
	end
	if not next(affectedFrames) then
		self:Hide()
	end
end
vehicleDelayFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", forceUpdate)
vehicleDelayFrame:Hide()

local Update = function(self)
	if not self.unit then return end
	local unit = self.unit
	local normalUnit = self:GetAttribute("unit")
	local modunit = SecureButton_GetModifiedUnit(self)
	if modunit ~= unit then
		self.unit = modunit
		if unit == normalUnit then
			-- not in vehicle
			self.vehicleUnit = nil
		else
			self.vehicleUnit = modunit
		end
		affectedFrames[self] = UPDATE_TIME
		vehicleDelayFrame:Show()
	end
	
	if unit == "player" then
		PlayerFrame.unit = self.unit
		BuffFrame_Update()
	end
end

local function attrChanged(self, name, value)
	local modunit = SecureButton_GetModifiedUnit(self)
	if self.unit and modunit ~= self.unit then
		self.vehicleUnit = modunit
		self.unit = modunit
	end
end

local Enable = function(self, unit)
	-- do not interfere with the default vehicleswitch
	if (unit == "player" or unit == "pet") and not self.disallowVehicleSwap then
		return
	end
	if not self.VehicleSwap2 or not self:GetAttribute("toggleForVehicle") then
		return
	end

	self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE", Update)
	self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE", Update)
	self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD", Update)
	self:HookScript("OnAttributeChanged", attrChanged)
	self:HookScript("OnShow", Update)

	Update(self)
end

local Disable = function(self)
	self.unit = self:GetAttribute("unit")
end

oUF:AddElement("VehicleSwitch2", Update, Enable, Disable)

As opposed to the current swapvehicle-element, this element does change the unit-attribute of the frame. It changes the frame.unit value using SecureButton_GetModifiedUnit() like many other UF-addons. For this to make sense the "toggleForVehicle"-attribute must be set on the frame.

After a swap, it needs some time until the vehicle-data becomes available, therefore I added an delayedupdate-Frame that updates all elements as soon as the vehicle-unit exists (took that idea from shadowed-UF).

I also hooked the OnAttributeChanged-script because the default-script on the frame overwrites the frame.unit-value.

This thing works on player, pet, party, partypet, and raidframes.

Nice job. Can you post your layout aswell? Where do you call the new VehicleSwitch2 element?

[profalbert]

It's based on oUF_Ammo and available on github

I tried to do the same.

What I did:
In .toc file add vehicle2.lua
In the creation of style I adde:
self:SetAttribute("toggleForVehicle", true)
self.VehicleSwap2 = true
Layout based on oUF Caellian.


Change of vehicle is correctly on all frames. But when changing target name remains on the first target that I chose. Color, health and mana is updated according to the currently selected target, but no name. And given this error:

Interface\AddOns\oUF\ouf.lua:88: attempt to call local 'func' (a string value)

Help please in solving this problem.
