SetTexture not working

[Bleckpan]

I need some help with trying to figure out what event I need to register in order for my texture to display.

TBFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()

 SetMapByID(708)
 name, description, textureIndex, x, y = GetMapLandmarkInfo(1)
  if textureIndex == 46 then
   red = 0
   blue = 1
   green = 0
   Time:SetTextColor(red, green, blue)
   TBTexture:SetTexture("Interface/PVPFrame/PVP-Currency-Alliance")
  end
end)

I have the same thing for horde side also.

The event that I have this triggering off of is "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD". The little image doesn't show up until I either type in "/reload ui" or drag the frame. I can't think of any way this would happen, as the font ends up being colored correctly.

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Try...

:SetTexture("Interface\\PVPFrame\\PVP-Currency-Alliance")

.. -_- havn't read until the end..

Try to load the texture outside the func

local texx = "Interface\\PVPFrame\\PVP-Currency-Alliance"

TBFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()

 SetMapByID(708)
 name, description, textureIndex, x, y = GetMapLandmarkInfo(1)
  if textureIndex == 46 then
   red = 0
   blue = 1
   green = 0
   Time:SetTextColor(red, green, blue)
   TBTexture:SetTexture(texx)
  end
end)

All you're doing is calling a pre-existing UI texture and there should be no problem, whenever you set the texture. Where is the rest of your code?

This is all my code, sorry it is so messy, couldn't seem to find a website to paste it on.

Oh wow - I totally missed that. No wonder your texture doesn't show.

It doesn't seem to fix my problem. It was working an hour ago with just a single forward slash instead of double backslashes.

[Seerah]

It shouldn't have been. Hmm... maybe because it was forward-slash rather than back-slash? Just to be clear, did you try making the change?

[Bleckpan]

After reading through it a few times, I found:

 TBFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
SetMapByID(708)
name, description, textureIndex, x, y = GetMapLandmarkInfo(1)
					
 if textureIndex == 46 then
   red = 0
   blue = 1
   green = 0
   Time:SetTextColor(red, green, blue)
   TBTexture:SetTexture(Ally)
 end
					
 if textureIndex == 48 then
   red = 1.0
   blue = 0
   green = 0
   Time:SetTextColor(red, green, blue)
   TBTexture:SetTexture(Horde)
 end	
 _,_,_,_,WaitTime,_ = GetWorldPVPAreaInfo(2)
TBTexture:SetTexture(Faction)
end)

So that puts me right where I started. No image upon login, but it works fine after a reloading of the ui, or a dragging of the frame.

I did make the change from one forward-slash to two back-slashes for both file paths. The only thing that I would think would be the problem is it not being able to access the map when it is being triggered. I am pulling the time from the PvP frame, so you may not have access to the map until a later time.

All regions need a size and at least one anchor to render properly. Your code doesn't give TBTexture a size though, implicitly or explicitly. If you want TBTexture to fill TBFrame exactly, you can use TBTexture:SetAllPoints() instead of your SetPoint call on line 111.

Thank you, that seems to have solved it for me. But, I have one more question. Why was this affecting the image only when I logged in, rather than all the time? (Reloading the UI and/or dragging the frame)

That confused me too, since frames normally stay hidden until they have a size. It seems like textures behave slightly different though: They automatically resize to match their image file's dimensions if their size is undefined. I'm not sure, but I'd blame your hidden texture problem on a bug with this auto-size behavior.
