remove xml border layer texture with lua

Grimsin · 09-25-10, 10:02 PM

Im atempting to remove the border for the new warlock shard frame in cata. Is it possible to remove the border created in the following xml using lua?

xml Code:

<Layer level="ARTWORK">
<Texture file="Interface\PlayerFrame\UI-WarlockShard" parentKey="shardFill">
<Size x="17" y="16"/>
<TexCoords left="0.01562500" right="0.28125000" top="0.00781250" bottom="0.13281250"/>
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" x="3" y="-2"/>
</Anchors>
</Texture>
</Layer>
<Layer level="BORDER">
<Texture file="Interface\PlayerFrame\UI-WarlockShard">
<Size x="52" y="29"/>
<TexCoords left="0.01562500" right="0.82812500" top="0.60937500" bottom="0.83593750"/>
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" x="-5" y="3"/>
</Anchors>
</Texture>
</Layer>
</Layers>

What's the parent frame? You could probably access it via frame:GetRegions().
You'd just have to find the right one from the list and :Hide() it.

Example (the list of textures/fontstrings will differ!)

Code:

local texture1, texture2, fontstring1, texture3, ... = MyFrame:GetRegions()
texture3:Hide()

the parent frame is... ShardBarFrameShard1

this is the whole file. Problem is bliz used "parent key" for a bunch of it but didnt do it for that part. You tell me what the parent is lol.

Isn't ShardBarFrame the frame you're looking for ?

Grimsin · 09-26-10, 09:16 AM

yes and no... i want to hide JUST the shard boarders on the shardbarframe. if you hide shardbarframe it hides all of it. i need the texture name of the border. unfortunately it looks like somehow bliz did this without naming the border.

grom · 09-26-10, 09:37 AM

did you look into ShardBar.lua?

Grimsin · 09-26-10, 09:48 AM

i did, nothing there either

xConStruct · 09-26-10, 10:15 AM

Yep, the texture isn't named or stored in the frame-table. (ShardBarFrameShard1, ShardBarFrameShard2, ShardBarFrameShard3 are the parents)

As I said, look through ShardBarFrameShard1:GetRegions() to find the right texture and then :Hide() this one.
If I had a warlock, I would test it for you :/

You can try this ingame:

Code:

/script select(1, ShardBarFrameShard1:GetRegions()):Hide()

Then change the first number until you find the right texture. If it errors out, there are no textures left

Ailae · 09-26-10, 10:29 AM

I'd be happy to take a look, but there's a queue. And when it got to be my turn I disconnected. :/ Will try again later if you haven't figured it out.

Grimsin · 09-26-10, 10:34 AM

Okay, well i found it. Now i still dont know the name lol. It is texture number 5 using the in game script you provided. Which i figured, at the begining of that xml file it lists 5 texture paths and the BG is the 5th. Stood to reason that it would be the 5th texture so that was easy but now how do i make it tell me what that is called or can i modify that script to run in lua and just hide layer region 5 somehow?

could i simply put select(5, ShardBarFrameShard1:GetRegions()):Hide() in my lua?

Yes, you can

Grimsin · 09-26-10, 11:06 AM

Sweet

almost ready for a cata release of the ui.

**Seerah** · 09-26-10, 11:51 AM

Just to clarify something, frames and textures do not need to have names, or their references can be local variables (if created in Lua). That's when you need to use GetRegions().
