How to edit the hotkey text of PetActionButton

[DewDrop87]

I've been updating the hotkey text of my action bars to rename things like s-1 to S1 and I can't seem to figure out how to do the same for the petbar which defaults to c-1, c-2 etc. I don't get any errors but nothing seems to happen. I've also tried to print out the text value of these hotkeys and I don't get 'c-1' etc which is weird.

The code being used for this is the following

local replace = string.gsub
 
local function UpdateHotkey(self, actionButtonType)
	local hotkey = _G[self:GetName() .. "HotKey"]
	local text = hotkey:GetText()
	
	text = replace(text, "s%-", "S")
	text = replace(text, "a%-", "A")
	text = replace(text, "c%-", "C")
	text = replace(text, "Mouse Button ", "M")
	
	if hotkey:GetText() == RANGE_INDICATOR then
		hotkey:SetText("")
	else
		hotkey:SetText(text)
	end
end

for i = 1, 10 do
    hooksecurefunc(_G["PetActionButton"..i], "UpdateHotkeys", UpdateHotkey)
end

Any ideas? Do the pet action buttons function differently to the other action buttons?

maybe

hooksecurefunc(
'PetActionButton_SetHotkeys',
function(self)
...
end
)

Ah perfect, swapping to SetHotkeys worked

for i = 1, NUM_PET_ACTION_SLOTS do
    hooksecurefunc(_G["PetActionButton"..i], "SetHotkeys", UpdateHotkey)
end

Im not very good at lua language so i dont know if there is a difference but you do 12 hooksecurefunc binds when you could do only one...

this is what i have (not my code.. its from nMainbar.. i just modified it little):

local UpdateHotkeys = function(input)
    local hotkey = _G[input:GetName() .. 'HotKey']
    local text = hotkey:GetText()
 
    if (text and text ~= RANGE_INDICATOR) then
        text = gsub(text, '(s%-)', 'S-')
        text = gsub(text, '(a%-)', 'A-')
        text = gsub(text, '(c%-)', 'C-')
        text = gsub(text, '(st%-)', 'C-') -- german control 'Steuerung'
 
        for i = 1, 30 do
            text = gsub(text, _G['KEY_BUTTON' .. i], 'M' .. i)
        end
 
        for i = 1, 9 do
            text = gsub(text, _G['KEY_NUMPAD' .. i], 'NU' .. i)
        end
 
        text = gsub(text, KEY_MOUSEWHEELUP, 'MU')
        text = gsub(text, KEY_MOUSEWHEELDOWN, 'MD')
        text = gsub(text, KEY_NUMLOCK, 'NL')
        text = gsub(text, KEY_PAGEUP, 'PU')
        text = gsub(text, KEY_PAGEDOWN, 'PD')
        text = gsub(text, KEY_SPACE, '_')
        text = gsub(text, KEY_INSERT, 'INS')
        text = gsub(text, KEY_HOME, 'HM')
        text = gsub(text, KEY_DELETE, 'DEL')
 
        hotkey:SetText(text)
    else
        -- hotkey:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', button, 'TOPLEFT', 1, -2)
        -- hotkey:Hide()
        hotkey:SetText('')
    end
end
 
hooksecurefunc(
    'ActionButton_UpdateHotkeys',
    function(self)
        UpdateHotkeys(self)
    end
)
hooksecurefunc(
    'PetActionButton_SetHotkeys',
    function(self)
        UpdateHotkeys(self)
    end
)

They've recently changed the functions.

'PetActionButton_SetHotkeys' is now PetActionButton1:SetHotKeys() .. PetActionButton2:SetHotKeys() etc. Each button has its own function so you have to hook into each one.
