How can i move DurabilityFrame and others things?

All the things wich are usually attached to the minimap cluster, im trying to move them and im really fustrated now....

Lua Code:

DurabilityFrame:Hide()
DurabilityFrame:Alpha(0)
DurabilityFrame:SetOwner(WorldFrame, "ANCHOR_NONE")
DurabilityFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
VehicleSeatIndicator:SetPoint("TOP", UIParent, "TOP", 0, 350)

tried everthing but nothing works, the only thing i was able to to move them up and down nothing more.

what do i need to do to move them like all the other frames, i looked in some other addons to get an idea but i didnt found a clue why i cant move them, i mean i cant even hide it....

i simply want to set the position of these things in a lua file, can anybody help me ?

You might be able to use this:

Code:

DurabilityFrame.ignoreFramePositionManager = true

Pretty much any frame on the right/top side of the screen is managed using the UIParent's frame position manager.

tried to put it before or after the rest of the code nothing happens, i mean what the hell is that?
every other frame is easily moved.......

but thank you for your advice......

Look at Smooth Durability or other addons that move the durability frame to see how they bypass Blizzard's frame positioning.

sadly i dont understand what smooth durability is doing...

i understand how smooth durability makes it dragbale but i dont have a clue how he saves the position or how i would do it with a simple little permanent lua edit......

because of that im asking for advice from someone who understands it better......

Did you call :ClearAllPoints() to erase their previous locations?

Otherwise, you're just *adding* to how they're anchored.
