Run a command on login help

Stantious · 04-13-13, 09:55 PM

I've been having strata issues with my party frames, but found a command that will drop it to low strata:

CompactRaidFrameManager:SetFrameStrata(LOW)

I've been looking into a way to fire this command when I log in, using templates I've found from two sources:

http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=34526

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2743811324

What I've come up with so far:

local frame=CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")

frame:SetScript("OnEvent",function(...)

CompactRaidFrameManager:SetFrameStrata(LOW)

end)

No dice. Is there a simple answer I'm missing? This is the first time I've ever experimented with this stuff, and I'm completely lost as to why this wouldn't work. Thank you for your time.

I've never used them before, so not sure what will work or not, but the CRFs are Load On Demand.

Try something like:

Lua Code:

local frame=CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent",function()
    LoadAddOn("Blizzard_CompactRaidFrames")   
    CompactRaidFrameManager:SetFrameStrata(LOW)
end)

Unfortunately that did not work.

SetFrameStrata takes a string argument so it would be:

Code:

CompactRaidFrameManager:SetFrameStrata('LOW')

God, I totally missed that

Where's my head at? Ack!

I was able to get the following to work once:

Lua Code:

local frame=CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("VARIABLES_LOADED")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent",function() 
    LoadAddOn("Blizzard_CompactRaidFrames")
    CompactRaidFrameManager:SetFrameStrata('LOW')
end)

But was greeted with an error:

EDIT: I am unable to consistently recreate this result. It has worked twice so far.
