Layouts depending on raid size (10/25/40)

Irongunner · 01-10-12, 07:53 AM

Hey guys,

I am trying to create different (grid-style) layouts for 10, 25 and 40 player raid size. The way I am spawning my raid frames is this:

Code:

  local initconfig = [[
    self:SetWidth(%d)
    self:SetHeight(%d)
  ]]

  local raid = {}
    
  for i = 1, NUM_RAID_GROUPS do
    raid[i] = oUF:SpawnHeader("oUF_Raid"..i, "SecureRaidGroupHeaderTemplate", "custom [@raid6,exists,group:raid] show;hide",
                                         "showPlayer", true,
                                         "oUF-initialConfigFunction", (initconfig):format(32, 22),
                                         "sortMethod", "NAME",
                                         "groupFilter", i,
                                         "yOffset", 49 -- grow up
                                        )
    raid[i]:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "CENTER", 391 + 37*(i-1), -451)
  end

Can you tell me how to create different layouts depending on raid size?
It would also be useful to have some kind of function hook to reposition other UI-elements (dmg meter etc.) depending on the detected raid size.

I also need some whitelist-based buff/debuff icons on my raid frames and the possibility to display more than one buff/debuff per unit on these raidframes (for example for hagara hc decursing when unit is inside the blue bubble). Any suggestions how to achieve this?

You can check oUF_Simple2 or oUF_Diablo. Both use it.

This are the visibility attributes of oUF_Diablo:

This is how they are set up:

Hope that helps.

Basically I'm only changing the scale of the frames based on gives raid size.

But there are 3 completly different spawns and you could adjust each of one to be completly different.

The visibility attributes tell the header when to show/hide each layout.

Ty Zork, works fine. I still need a way to hook a function which is called if raid size falls under 10 or increases over 25 players, so i can adjust some other UI elements too.

What about the second part of my question, adding multiple buffs/debuffs per player in the raid frames depending on a whitelist configuration? oUF RaidDebuffs plugin can't do this.

You want to create a helper frame with a function that tracks the "PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED" event. http://www.wowwiki.com/Events/P

lua Code:

local helpRaidFunc = function(self, event, ...)
    if not event or event ~= "PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED" then return end
    local raid = GetNumRaidMembers() or 0
    local party = GetNumPartyMembers() or 0
    if raid > 0 then
      --do raid adjustments
    elseif party > 0 then
      --do party adjustments
    end
  end
 
  local helpRaid = CreateFrame("Frame")
  helpRaid:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")
  helpRaid:SetScript("OnEvent", helpRaidFunc)

If you need to adjust stuff that is protected in combat you can check for InCombatLockdown() and register the PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED event and adjust stuff once you get OOC.

I'm using black/whitelisting for raid debuffs myself. You may want to check my aura script:

Using the customFilter of oUF aura function you can create a filter yourself.
