oUF

[Uitat]

anyone know how to force raid frames 1-40 to show in oUF so i can set the placement corectly?

[zork]

local namelist = UnitName("player")
for i = 2,40 do -- or whatever your desired group size is
  namelist = namelist..","..UnitName("player")
end
 
local raid = oUF:SpawnHeader(
  -- The rest of your attributes
  "nameList", namelist
)

zork that wasn't working the last time I tried. The first child in the header is set, the rest is not.

[p3lim]

local namelist = UnitName('player')
for index = 2,40 do -- or whatever your desired group size is
  namelist = namelist .. ',' .. UnitName('player') .. index
end
 
local raid = oUF:SpawnHeader(
  -- The rest of your attributes
  'nameList', namelist
)

What about this one?

[zork]

Yeah does not work aswell. Even namelist "A,B" does only return the player.
Just enter Alterac Valley. Is my best bet.

If all you care about is the placement, just manually create 39 textures with the same size and anchors as your raid frames, and attach them to the first raid frame (the one showing yourself). Even if you're working on other details, this should be sufficient... as long as you can see one frame, I don't see why you'd actually need to see 40 identical frames.

great idea, this worked for me, just made my own temporary grid to see location then got in a party to make sure frame 2 lined up right, voila!! i have the location set right. you so smart!, i would give you a cookie if i had one... one thing i gotta say is, well, your advice has been priceless, thanks again Phanx.
