ActionBar ToolTipDisable

Hi all,

I am asking if someone knows a very simple addon that can enable/disable tooltips on actionbars (it is not necessary it does it automagically in combat by itself, I can do manually :-)

I am asking because I am using a very cute, but simple actionbars addon that doesn't support this features and I really like to have it.

I have found a macro that do it and it works but it disables ALL the GameTooltip not only the actionbars ones.

Lua Code:

/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide)
 
/stopmacro [btn:1]
 
/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

I am trying to write a little addon myself but due the fact I have limited time in these days and also I don't have understood so much the GameTooltip frame I am still far from finishing. I'll ask later in the right area if there is nothing ready to be used :-)

Thanks :-)

You may want to look at Bartender4 to see how it implements this feature.

Lua Code:

local UnitAffectingCombat, InCombatLockdown = UnitAffectingCombat, InCombatLockdown
 
local function hide(self)
    if TipBeGone.CombatOnly then
        if (UnitAffectingCombat("player") or UnitAffectingCombat("pet") or InCombatLockdown()) then
            self:Hide()
        end
    else
        self:Hide()
    end
end
 
local function thide(self)
    hide(GameTooltip);
end
 
-- Hide tooltips for actions, pet actions and shapeshift
if TipBeGone.ActionBar then
    hooksecurefunc(GameTooltip, "SetAction", hide);
end
if TipBeGone.PetActionBar then
    hooksecurefunc(GameTooltip, "SetPetAction", hide);
end
if TipBeGone.ShapeShiftBar then
    hooksecurefunc(GameTooltip, "SetShapeshift", hide);
end
 
-- Hide tooltips for inventory items (paper doll and inspect)
if TipBeGone.Inventory then
    hooksecurefunc(GameTooltip, "SetInventoryItem", hide); 
end
 
-- Hide tooltips on micro buttons
if TipBeGone.MainBar then
    CharacterMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    SpellbookMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    TalentMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    QuestLogMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    MainMenuMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    PVPMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    SocialsMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    GuildMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide) -- Cataclysm
    LFDMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    HelpMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
    AchievementMicroButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide)
end
 
-- Hide tooltips on bag and keyring buttons
if TipBeGone.Bags then
    MainMenuBarBackpackButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide);
    CharacterBag0Slot:HookScript("OnEnter", thide);
    CharacterBag1Slot:HookScript("OnEnter", thide);
    CharacterBag2Slot:HookScript("OnEnter", thide);
    CharacterBag3Slot:HookScript("OnEnter", thide);
    KeyRingButton:HookScript("OnEnter", thide);
end

Maybe something like this...

Lua Code:

GameTooltip.HideAction = true
 
function GameTooltip:ToggleAction()
   self.HideAction = not self.HideAction
end
GameTooltip:HookScript("OnShow", function(self)
      local actionButton = self:GetOwner() and self:GetOwner().HotKey
      if actionButton and self.HideAction then
         self:Hide()
      end
end)

Toggle it on/off using:

Lua Code:

/run GameTooltip:ToggleAction()

Here's the whole thing in macro format. Pressing it will toggle on/off:

Lua Code:

/run local t=GameTooltip if t.HideAB~=nil then t.HideAB=not t.HideAB else t.HideAB=true t:HookScript("OnShow", function(s) local a = s:GetOwner() and s:GetOwner().HotKey if a and s.HideAB then s:Hide() end end) end

Thanks very much for both code samples.

I have checked them and they seems to works fine.
I'll try to study and understand better them to build a minimal addon around this code.

Thanks again.

Really much appreciated.

Hi munkdev,

I tried your code and it works really nice out of the box. Now I am trying to implement and addon that use it on automagically swap tooltip state on combat base.

But I have some problems so I am starting a discussion on the right forum:

Thanks very much again.
