Making Bison Fade Out

[Archer50]

Hello,
I would like Bison to fade out until moused over while out of combat, and have it show (with full opacity) while in combat.

I currently have this:

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame") --Create a frame to detect the events with

--Register the events we want to use
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED") --Fired when you enter combat
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") --Fired when you leave combat

local function HideOrShow(self, event, ...) --Create a function to react to the events
	if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
		BuffFrame:Show() --Show the AddOn's frame when you enter combat
	
	elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
		BuffFrame:Hide() --Hide the AddOn's frame when you leave combat
	end
end

frame:SetScript("OnEvent",HideOrShow) --Tells the game to execute our function when our frame detects an event

It hides Bison buffs while out of combat, but as stated before I would like something similar to this, but faded out until moused over rather than completely hidden.

You could use the Alpha channel and create onenter/onleave functions for the frame.

eg

BuffFrame:SetScript("OnEnter",
	function(self, motion)
		self:SetAlpha(1)
	end)
BuffFrame:SetScript("OnLeave",
	function(self, motion)
		self:SetAlpha(0.5)
	end)

If you mouseover a Buff icon, you aren't mouseovering the BuffFrame anymore and the OnLeave function will be triggered.
So advanced checks are required (incombat, timer etc)

You could also use a hook for the buff's onenter/onleave function.

Thanks for the reply Humfras. Where in my code would I put this? Or would I just put this as a separate block of code? Sorry I'm not too proficient in this :3

You can put it anywhere really, it modifies the BuffFrame frame and makes it fade in/out when mouseover/out. For example you can put it on the bottom of you file.

It doesn't seem to work :3 Do I have to put something like

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame") --Create a frame to detect the events with

before it?

The SetScript command just needs to be ran once after the BuffFrame is created. (e.g. via PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD event)

I will try to take a look at Bison if I have some time during the weekend.
