Grid - Change FrameSize with Layout

FaulTier · 09-09-11, 08:45 AM

Hey everybody!

At the moment I'm trying to do the follwing:
I want Grid to change the height of the raidframes depending on of the chosen layout. To be more specific, I want the following:
If the actual layout is 'Group', i want the height of my group-member-frames to be 70.
If the actual layout is '10 men raid', the height should be e.g. 35.
25 Men Raid/Batleground -> height = 21

So the height shouldn't be connected with my actual groupmembers, but my chosen layout.

Is there a way to embed the frameheight in a layout @ GridLayoutLayout.lua?

No. You will need to set up multiple profiles, and either switch between the profiles manually, or use one of the numerous plugins that auto-switch your profile based on preset conditions.

Geez, thought so.

Any addon you'd recommend to use?

Because I'm using an UI, which has two different layouts, based on layoutchanging ingame. That's my scheme:

Code:

Grid ----------------- Heal-Layout
      \                           \
        DD-Layout                  5-Men-Group
                 \                 10-Men-Raid
                  5-Men-Grouo      AnyRaidSizeAbove
                  AnyRaidSize

But maybe i will exchange Grid with oUF. Just need to find a way to make it grid a like. (FrameSize depending on Group Size should be possible with "if GetPartyMembers() <= 10 then .... elseif .... end", shouldn't it?)

Another Idea would be to edit the savedvariable of grid.
If Im right, Grid is saving it's profiles @/WTF/Account/SAvedVariables/ and the frame size is saved within the profiles.
So it should be possible to edit the part with the frame size adding that indicates the raidsize..
Let's see if i can do sowmthing about that

Ok, editing the savedvariable doesn't wor - i forgot the it will be 'corrected' after ervery log in/off and /reload...

And where would one find one of those numerous plugins? I've been looking....haven't found one here, at wowace or at Curse. At least nothing that I could identify as doing that specifically.

Yip, same goes for me.
Can't find any PlugIn, which changes the Profile based on Raid-Size.

So, need to go with oUF_Grid.... Will be 'interesting' :/

I've found several that change the frame size, but that does not address the issue of altering unit size based on raid size.

What exactly is the point of modifying the frame size based on raid size? The only reason I can think of (and I'm admittedly far from an expert...just a long-time add-on nerd) is in case you use it to parent a kgpanel to? I'm just curious what purpose it serves.

I did find GridDynamicZoneSwitch which would theoretically serve at least my purposes, but it has been abandoned according to its wowace page. Also found GridConfigurableLayouts but this looks to provide a far deeper level of functionality than I personally am looking for.

I want to use the same space for 5-Men-Groups, 10-men-raids and 25-raids, therefore the framesize needs to be resized.

It's mostly for optical reasons...
