Looking for a DefaultUI Mover

Lily.Petal · 04-11-11, 03:14 AM

I am currently looking for a Addon that can move certain things. I am not looking for something complex, maybe something along the lines of:

/[addonname] config; (for the addon)
or
/[addonname] unlock; -- Will unlock things from the UI, such as durability, world state, text that comes up in the middle, error text (abilities), etc.

Something easy that will just let me do that, and maybe let me hide things.
Not something that gives me everything but the kitchen sink though lol.

Any suggestions?

Hmm, since it's for your own UI, it'd be most efficient to make your own little addon to do it. Gimme 30 minutes, and I'll whip up some Lua.

You're a God send you know that? I feel bad at the same time since you always come to my rescue xD

Figured I'd just make the addon, as it's quick enough

LP_FrameMover
removed link to off-site download -Seerah
added link back in (at bottom), take that! -Nibelheim

Now, it's certainly not the most convenient method of moving / hiding frames, but it's the most reliable.

Just /framestack to find the name of the frame you want to move / hide, and edit the Core.lua file accordingly.

To find out the current Point, RPoint, X, and Y positions of any frame, simply type this code into your chat window:

Code:

/run print(FrameName:GetPoint())

It'll print out "Point Parent RPoint X Y"

PS.
If you want to start moving / hiding frames that are created by Load-on-demand addons, things get a little trickier. There's also some complex frames to look out for, one of note is the VehicleSeatIndicator frame.

PSS.
This is untested as I'm not at my WoW PC atm, so if any errors occur, let us know

PSSS.
Interesting, it actually took me exactly 30 minutes to do. >.>

PSSSS.
Heh, just kidding, 4 PSs would be nuts!

You're like half the reason my UI is working correctly/as intended xD <3

PS: Drink much coffee lol? I did one RL and you have like 4 PSSSSSSSS

Code:

/run print(DurabilityFrame:GetPoint())

Got me:

Code:

TOPRIGHT table: 1EFFBBA0 BOTTOMRIGHT -0 0

Time to see if this works

Just as reference, these are some of the frame names I'm manipulating in RealUI.

"ZoneTextFrame" -- Text that appears when you change zones
"RaidWarningFrame" -- Raid warning messages in the middle of screen
"TicketStatusFrame" -- GM Ticket status
"GroupLootFrame1" -- Loot Rolling frames
"GroupLootFrame2"
"GroupLootFrame3"
"GroupLootFrame4"
"WorldStateAlwaysUpFrame" -- PvP info at Top Center of screen
"UIErrorsFrame" -- Error messages
"PlayerPowerBarAlt" -- Sound bar and Insanity gauge on Atremedes, Cho'gall, etc
"DurabilityFrame"
"Boss1TargetFrame"
"Boss2TargetFrame"
"Boss3TargetFrame"
"Boss4TargetFrame"
"CompactRaidFrameManager" -- I hide the default Blizz raid frames

Just don't use "table: 1EFFBBA0" in the code. :P Best to leave the Parent field as nil for now.

Actually, noticed a small bug. In Core.lua, change the line:

Code:

p = t.parent and _G[t.parent] or UIParent

to

Code:

p = t.parent and _G[t.parent] or f:GetParent()

None, what so ever

My only experience is changing something in the Lua to fit my needs, adding a thing here and there, and some other things. I do not know how to make a entire addon though ^^v
