raid question

[Ferous]

Hey there. I am still learning Lua and oUF so bear with me I am trying to figure out how to have my raid show 40 man, when I join AV I only see 25 people and that is it, I have looked left, right, up and down in the config but i can't seem to get it... I'm baffled and searched, googled, all that stuff and can't seem to find out how and this is my last resort to ask you guys :P Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance for helping a noob here!

Somewhere in the code you'll see something that resembles this:

for i = 1, 5 do
oUF:Spawn(blah blah blah)
end

This sets up the group headers. If you change that 5 to an 8 you'll get what you want.

You're a genius! Thank you very much Drives me crazy when I can't heal everyone in AV so I'm forced to view friendly nameplates lol

Thanks again

Hi, further to that, at the moment im using a layout where it shows 25 frames 5 frames high for the raid.

If i just change it to 8, then the extra frames appear in columns of 8

How do i keep it limited at 5 per column but show 8 rows instead?

Thats the code im using, i have tried changing max columns but its not working

local raid = {}
for i = 1, 8 do
	local raidgroup = oUF:Spawn("header", "oUF_Raid"..i)
	raidgroup:SetManyAttributes("groupFilter", tostring(i), "showRaid", true, 
	"columnSpacing", 4, "unitsPerColumn", 1,   
	"maxColumns", 8,   
	"columnAnchorPoint", "LEFT",
	"yOffSet", -10,   
	"xOffset", 10)
	table.insert(raid, raidgroup)
	if settings.RaidPet then
		if i==1 then
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "LEFT", 477, -185)
		else
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", raid[i-1], "LEFT", 0, -35)
		end
		raidgroup:SetAttribute("template", "oUF_RaidPet")
	else
		if i==1 then
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "LEFT", cfg.raidX, cfg.raidY)
		else
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", raid[i-1], "LEFT", 0, -30)
		end
	end
end

if not settings.HideRaid then
local tank = oUF:Spawn("header", "oUF_MainTank")
tank:SetManyAttributes("showRaid", true, "groupFilter", "MAINTANK", "yOffset", -5)
tank:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -396, 26)
tank:SetAttribute("template", "oUF_MainTank")
tank:Show()
end

Get rid of the "units per column", "1" bit. Also, you don't need to have the "max columns" part, as you're already taking care of that with the "for i = 1,8".

Thank you kindly!

Tried the settings the way you said and its put all the frames in one column, i took a screenshot to show you.






the second image is how i normally have them laid out, but it only shows 25 max, id just like to extend them to the right for the missing frames..



Im using "Shestak UI" from wow interface. All the settings im playing with are from the "Ouf_main.lua" file.

[tyeni]

all your frames are set to stack on each other in

if i==1 then
			raidgroup:SetPoint ("LEFT", UIParent, "LEFT", 477, -185)
		else
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", raid[i-1], "LEFT", 0, -35)
		end
		raidgroup:SetAttribute("template", "oUF_RaidPet")
	else
		if i==1 then
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "LEFT", cfg.raidX, cfg.raidY)
		else
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", raid[i-1], "LEFT", 0, -30)

that is saying that your frames ae going to stack ontop of one another. try

raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", raid[i-1], "RIGHT", 0, -35)

[spondodge]

Excellent, thats fixed it, now i realise what was happening, it was stacking in rows going down.

Umm, just a offset setting ****ing things up now, its diagnally staggered now. lol

[spondodge]

thx for help guys, think i got it figured out. Trial and error in the end...

local raid = {}
for i = 1, 8 do
	local raidgroup = oUF:Spawn("header", "oUF_Raid"..i)
	raidgroup:SetManyAttributes("groupFilter", tostring(i), "showRaid", true, 
	"columnSpacing", 4, 
	"columnAnchorPoint", "TOP",
	"yOffSet", -5,   
	"xOffset", 5)
	table.insert(raid, raidgroup)
	if settings.RaidPet then
		if i==1 then
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "LEFT", 477, -285)
		else
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", raid[i-1], "RIGHT", 5, 0)
		end
		raidgroup:SetAttribute("template", "oUF_RaidPet")
	else
		if i==1 then
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "LEFT", cfg.raidX, -285)
		else
			raidgroup:SetPoint("LEFT", raid[i-1], "RIGHT", 5, 0)
		end
	end
end

Sorry to bother, one last question, when the frames change, e.g someone disconnects the remaining frames in that raid group all "Align" themselves to center, how to I "justify/align" them so they always shift to top.

Thats badly explained, ill take a screenshot..

        end

            raidgroup:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", raid[i-1], "TOPRIGHT", 5, 0)
        end
    end
end

You basicly tell the wowlua interpreter to anchor from the topleft to the topright

Attributes:

'showRaid', true 'yOffset', -5 'point', 'TOP' 'groupingOrder', '1,2,3,4,5' 'groupBy', 'GROUP' 'maxColumns', 5 'unitsPerColumn', 5 'columnSpacing', 5 'columnAnchorPoint', 'RIGHT'

I don't know about you but the staggered raid frames look awesome. Anyone else get tired of the blocks one your screen? Yeah I know it doesnt really fit with most ui's but visually its different, even if it was unintentional it looks neat.

Did you ever get the raid frames fixed to how you wanted them?
