Simple addon to disable default blizzard personal bar debuffs

[fearkite]

Hey all!

I've been struggling with making this addon. I'm a complete noob at this, not even sure how to approach it, honestly.

Here is my attempt thus far to disable default blizzard personal bar debuffs:

local f=CreateFrame("frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
hooksecurefunc("CompactUnitFrame_UpdateAuras", function(frame)
    if frame.optionTable.colorNameBySelection then
        if UnitGUID(frame.unit) == UnitGUID("player") then
            frame.BuffFrame:Hide()
        else
            frame.BuffFrame:Show()
        end
    end
end)

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks heaps <3

NamePlates use a custom buff handler, NameplateBuffContainerMixin:UpdateBuffs().

hooksecurefunc(NameplateBuffContainerMixin,"UpdateBuffs",function(self,unit)
    if UnitIsUnit(unit,"player") then
        self.buffPool:ReleaseAll();
    end
end);

This instructs the buff container to clear itself every time it gets an update call. It technically hooks all nameplate buff containers, but the unit check makes sure only the personal nameplate is affected.

Thanks so much, SDPhantom! That seems to have worked. You're an absolute legend!
