Goose

Version: 1.6b

by: Alestane [More]

Goose is a simple state-based addon that dynamically hides selected chosen interface elements under the macro-able conditions of your choice. It's configured through the new Interface Options control panel. It can select frames based on a simple global name or a specific Lua identity.

1.5b - stripped out an issue with bad frame references.

1.3b - cleaned up a few more bad variable names.

1.2b - fixed that blasted InCombatLockDown bug.

1.1b - added a slash command for macro use:
/goose (open config)
/goose frame (unregister frame)
/goose frame conditions (register frame)

1.0b - Updated the add-on for the new Interface Options, and made it generically able to hide or show any frame on any conditions.

Presently, Goose only supports straight visibility. It's certainly possible for an add-on to set a frame's opacity (alpha) in response to conditions, but enabling this is outside Goose's scope at the moment.

If Recount doesn't have such an option of its own, you should be able to configure this behavior with the command (or equivalent use of the GUI):

/goose Recount_MainWindow [group] show; hide

I have a question about how to write a condition to hide a frame based on being in party or raid. To be specific I want my Recount_MainWindow to show only if I am grouped (party or raid). I haven't been able to figure it out, whatever I typed in, didn't work. Thanks to anyone who replies.

Chat bubbles are rendered by the 3D engine and I believe there's a CVar that controls them.

I think there's a way to show them while the UI is hidden but it won't have anything to do with Goose.

Any Idea what I need to do?

If you check the main description page of EventHorizon, it mentions instructions for Goose.
Show or hide frame: EventHorizonHandle
when: [combat] show; hide

I've been able to verify that this works, too.

Goose does not support that feature. It relies entirely on the blizzard set of macro conditionals to indicate whether things should be shown or hidden, and there are no conditionals for frame focus.

This question is almost unfairly easy, because it's one of the first things I did testing Goose: The frame name is "MinimapCluster" and the conditions are "[combat] hide; show".

You can set this up by opening the Interface Options dialog, clicking on the AddOns tab, and using the Add Frame to Control List button, or by typing /goose MinimapCluster [combat] hide; show into your chatline. Case is important.

If you want to try, you can add the frame's Lua identifier to Goose with a conditional that just says "hide".

Thanks for the explantion. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find out the identifier for the tooltip (frame)

I tried it with a macro (/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( GetMouseFocus():GetName() )

but this shows me only the mainframe name.
