I've been fiddling with a very basic UI modification where I need to scale and move the default unitframes.

I initially just made a macro for re-scaling and re-positioning the unitframes, but wanted something more permanent to avoid having to run the macro after each loading screen. I tried using a wide variety of "move anything"-addons out there, but they all had issues with vehicle unitframes.

I tried to come up with my own solution, and ended up with the following bit of code, which actually works even with vehicle unitframes:

local timer = 2

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")



f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, elapsed)

  timer = timer - elapsed

  if (timer > 0) then return end

 PlayerFrame:SetScale(1.1)

 PetFrame:SetScale(1.1)

 FocusFrame:SetScale(1.1)

 TargetFrame:SetScale(1.1)

 PlayerFrame:ClearAllPoints() 

 PlayerFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", -250, -150)

 TargetFrame:ClearAllPoints() 

 TargetFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", 250, -150)

 FocusFrame:ClearAllPoints() 

 FocusFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", -500, -150)


 timer = timer + 2 -- or just timer = 5 if you don't need to be super exact

end)

My question is: would this be considered bad programming practice, considering the way I'm hooking into OnUpdate ? This is pretty much my first time working with LUA for WoW, so I'm worried that the code could be a resource-hog
