Minimap - Hide In Combat?

[Pro-Fool]

Wondering if its possible to do this via Lua?

Using bMinimap by Blooblahguy, so would I have to question Him/Her or is it possible by some Lua changing?

Currently using the following code (Picked it from various google searching >.<) to hide it in a raid instance, however this comes with its own disadvantages sometimes (I like to stare at it when I'm not in combat for some reason)

Any help is nice, my knowledge of Lua is Very Basic.

I know you can do this via Kong Ui Hider - But it doesn't register the frame properly (with bMinimap). So Yeh

The code I use to hide in raid instance.

MinimapCluster:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
MinimapCluster:HookScript("OnEvent", function(self, event)
	if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then
		if select(2, IsInInstance()) == "raid" then
			self:Hide()
		else
			self:Show()
		end
	end
end)

MinimapCluster:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
MinimapCluster:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
MinimapCluster:HookScript("OnEvent", function(self, event)
	if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
		MinimapCluster:Show()
	elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
		MinimapCluster:Hide()
	end
end)

You Are Awesome!

you can cut the code down a bit like this if you want.

UIParent:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
	if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
		MinimapCluster:Show()
	elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
		MinimapCluster:Hide()
	end
end)

Would this work with the Shift modifier, This would allow to bring up the hidden minimap in combat, at least that what I want it to do

UIParent:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
	if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
		MinimapCluster:Show()
	elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" and "modifier:shift" then
		MinimapCluster:Show()
	elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
		MinimapCluster:Hide()
	end
end)

Use IsShiftKeyDown()

yes this is right.

so it becomes like so.

UIParent:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
	if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
		MinimapCluster:Show()
	elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" or (not IsShiftKeyDown()) then
		MinimapCluster:Show()
	elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
		MinimapCluster:Hide()
	end
end)

Do it like how Haleth posted. Hooking the UIParent doesn't seem to work.

MinimapCluster:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
MinimapCluster:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
MinimapCluster:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self, event)
	if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
		self:Show()
	elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
		self:Hide()
	end
end)

hehe, one over. gj.

a bit slow. as just got back form reading festival. and that's my excuse and im sticking to it. hehe

Edited my post as it seems that using UIParent doesn't work. You'll probably need an OnUpdate to watch for the shift key.
