Show 'specific players at all times'. Is it possible?

Vociferate · 01-02-11, 08:17 AM

I am wondering if it is possible to set up a party frame that will *always* show specific players? By there in game name, or something of that nature.

I am a multiboxer, and if I run any BG's most of the time my character's do not make it into the same group. And healing them becomes a massive headache.

Is it possible to set up a party frame when in a raid that will show my character's at all times?

Sort of like keeping the party frame up during a raid. But instead of:

Code:

"sortMethod", "NAME",

I could use:

Code:

"sortMethod", "VOCIFERATE",

Is this possible?

You can use sortMethod NAMELIST and set nameList to a comma separated list of player names.

So how would I edit them by nameList? Would be as follows:

Code:

"sortMethod", "nameList", "ToonA", "ToonB", "ToonC",

This link should be useful:

The nameList filter should be passed as parameters when you spawn your header frames.

e.g.

Code:

local header = self:SpawnHeader(nil, nil, 'party,raid',
				'showPlayer', true,
				'showParty', true,
				'showRaid', true,
				'nameList', 'ToonA,ToonB,ToonC',
				'initial-width', 100,
				'initial-height', 25,
				'oUF-initialConfigFunction', [[
					local header = self:GetParent()
					self:SetWidth(header:GetAttribute('initial-width'))
					self:SetHeight(header:GetAttribute('initial-height'))
				]]
)
