    MoveTalkingHead  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: v1.3.3
    by: Ketho [More]

    Makes that message dialog movable with Shift-Left-Click

    You can move it by shift-clicking and dragging
    It can also be scaled with the mouse wheel (while pressing shift)

    Note that the frame will be made click-through when not holding shift so it doesn't block quest givers or mobs underneath it, but if you want to right-click the frame away you need to hold shift as well.

    This does not work with ElvUI, which already supports moving it with /moveui

    Slash Commands

    /th 0.8 ----- sets the scale to 0.80 (can be between 0.50 to 2.00)
    /th reset -- resets the position and scale

    Ketho I think you can get around that ADDON_LOADED part by just making your addon LoadWith Blizzard_TalkingHeadUI.

    https://github.com/zorker/rothui/blo...alkingHead.toc

    On top of that I have no problem with wow saving my position data in the layout-local.txt correctly.

    That is only a problem if you apply your setpoint/setsize after the layout-local.txt has been read.

    Thanks, that works. I still had to check ADDON_LOADED for when the (Edit) SavedVars is loaded though, but it's LoadOnDemand now in the latest alpha

    Previously I couldn't get the slash command working when loaded on demand, but now it seems to work...

    I'm not sure how to do this, can I just call TalkingHeadFrame:SetUserPlaced(true) and omit the TalkingHeadFrame:SetUserPlaced.ignoreFramePositionManager part?
    I shouldn't have to call SetPoint and SetPosition then, right? If that would then be handled by the Blizzard frame position manager

    It's saving in layout-local.txt correctly for me, but it doesn't seem to set the position once the LoadOnDemand frame is loaded and it being character-specific is kind of a let down

    I keep ignoreFramePositionManager in just to be sure. Most important part is to not use ADDON_LOADED. That is to late. SetUserPlaced has to be active on a frame on init. You can test my version if you want.

    I tested rTalkingHead now and it's indeed working fine



    But I can't get following code to work, and have no clue why
    It gets saved to layout-local.txt, but the frame position is not being set the next time it loads
    https://github.com/Ketho/MoveTalking...alkingHead.lua
    Lua Code:
    1. local THF = TalkingHeadFrame
    2. THF:SetMovable(true)
    3. THF:SetUserPlaced(true)
    4.  
    5. THF.ignoreFramePositionManager = true
    6.         
    7. THF:RegisterForDrag("LeftButton")
    8. THF:SetScript("OnDragStart", THF.StartMoving)
    9. THF:SetScript("OnDragStop", THF.StopMovingOrSizing)

    Honestly speaking, I'd still prefer using the SavedVariables though if SetUserPlaced is character-specific(?)

    Yes layout-local.txt is character specific. Hmm maybe sth in the .toc file, I don't know.
    Btw I just wanted to let you know, your version was totally fine before.
