The partytarget and partypet are parented to the party frame. Changing the parent to something else will solve your problem.

Well, yeah, i did but i've tried to anchor them to about every possible unit even

	elseif(self:GetAttribute('unitsuffix') == 'target') then
		self:SetParent(UIParent)

but it's either not working or erroring. Guess i must be using the wrong way to parent them somewhere else.

:SetPoint() is not the same as :SetParent() .

Now huh, doing :SetPoint() will only change their location not their parenting, and if i do something like ('LEFT', UIParent, 'LEFT', 100, 100) for example in the layout, will it not conflict with the positioning in the /xml ?

Now you've lost me, not that it's complicated allright

[haste]

If you don't want a frame to inherit "settings" from it's parent, then parent it to something else. Using :SetPoint() only changes the position, nothing else.

In other words: You want to change the parent of the partytarget/partypet to something else.

Well yes, changing the parent frame was what i tried and posted in the post above, with this

	elseif(self:GetAttribute('unitsuffix') == 'target') then
		self:SetParent(UIParent)

It's SetParent, not SetPoint, but that doesn't work.

Do the variables .visibleDebuffs etc work correctly ? Cause i can see all debuffs, although self.Auras.visibleDebuffs = 1

self.Auras = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
self.Auras.size = 13
self.Auras:SetHeight(self.Auras.size)
self.Auras:SetWidth(self.Auras.size)
self.Auras:SetPoint("BOTTOM", self.Health, 0,0)
self.Auras.initialAnchor = "CENTER"
self.Auras.numBuffs = 0 
self.Auras.visibleDebuffs = 1

.visible* is set for the post-update functions. What you want to set is numDebuffs/numBuffs. This is documented in the aura.lua .

I am currently using OUF Neav and well I though this might be the best place to ask. Im sure this is going to be the same no matter what layout i use. Can someone please explain or help me move the PVP icon for both the target , player and party frames please? they are just a tad bit off from the current texture i want to use. But fluid frames isnt letting me move the pvp icon so im assuming this must be done with lua. Here is a screenshot to explain where im trying to get the pvp icon

I just need the pvp icon to go right up in that circle frame it is close to. anyone help would be loverly!

In the layout I'm using it's calling it with self.PvP

   
    self.PvP:SetHeight(24)
    self.PvP:SetWidth(24)
    self.PvP:SetPoint('CENTER', self, 'TOPRIGHT', -1, -10)

If the one you're using is using the same method, this should point ya where you need to be. Hope this helps, I'm an ubernoob so don't hold it against me if I /fail.

[Elloria]

thank you so much you have def. pointed me in the right direction. I just need to figure out how to do this for my target, tot, focus, and party frames hehe

[st0nedpenguin]

Apologies if this isn't the correct place for this, but could anyone hook me up with the code required to add oUF Debuff Highlight support for displaying the actual debuff icon over my frames?

I've been trying to work out exactly what I need from the info given in the readme but every time I try anything it just disables my entire frames.

I'm using oUF P3lim as my base if that's of any help.

Looks like you could use

if(unit=='player') then
--insert your code

elseif(unit=='target') then
--insert your code

etc... and so on

Just make sure 'target', 'player', 'pet', 'tot'... are all the correct calls for the code you're working with.

Wow I really appreciate the help ill work on this tonight and tell you how it turns out. Youve been great help ty!

Edit: Well even if i edit the x,y coords the pvp icon doesnt move. Any idea why?

Try this (be sure to backup your current).

    
    self.PvP = self:CreateTexture(nil, 'OVERLAY') 
    self.PvP:SetHeight(24)
    self.PvP:SetWidth(24)
    self.PvP:SetPoint('CENTER', self, 'TOPRIGHT', -1, -10)

You likely will need to adjust size and of coarse use your own position. I won't pretend like I know this will work, it's only a guess . I glanced at the code for the layout you mentioned and I couldn't give a definitive answer why it doesn't work fr you. GL

That is creating a pvp target even if im not pvp but we got closer that time , the coords are working with that one

Okay, good deal. It's a learning experience for me too. In the 1st line try your old code as follows (remove self at the end). I suspect that was what was limiting position, but not certain of it.

Old code

self.PvP = self.Health:CreateTexture(self:GetName().."PVPIcon", "OVERLAY", self)

Try this

self.PvP = self.Health:CreateTexture(self:GetName().."PVPIcon", "OVERLAY")

[Elloria]

    if(unit=='player') then
            self.PvP = self.Health:CreateTexture(self:GetName().."PVPIcon", "OVERLAY")
            self.PvP:SetHeight(44)
            self.PvP:SetWidth(44)
            self.PvP:SetPoint('CENTER', self, 'TOPLEFT', -13, -8)
    end
    
    if(unit=='target') then
            self.PvP = self.Health:CreateTexture(self:GetName().."PVPIcon", "OVERLAY")
            self.PvP:SetHeight(44)
            self.PvP:SetWidth(44)
            self.PvP:SetPoint('CENTER', self, 'TOPRIGHT', 26, -5)
    end

I could just hug and kiss you right now thank you so much!

[Yhor]

Looks awesome! Now you know how to do leader icon and master looter icon as well.

[Elloria]

well it seems i celebrated too soon. The pvp icon stays there after i unflag but after i dl /rl it dissapears.
