Mouseover visibility

Hello again,

I'm working on a Minimap addon and want to show/hide a Minimap Icon on hovering the Minimap.
I can't get my if working becasue it is expecting a function argument according to error code. This is my code:

MiniMapTrackingBackground:SetAlpha(0)
MiniMapTracking:ClearAllPoints()
MiniMapTracking:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", Minimap, 1, 1)
MiniMapTrackingButtonBorder:Hide();
MiniMapTrackingButton:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
 
 
if Minimap:isMouseOver then 
MiniMapTrackingButton:Show();
else
MiniMapTrackingButton:Hide();
end

thanks for the help in advance

When you're calling a function you need to use (). So in your case Minimap:IsMouseOver(). But if i can understand correctly this won't fix it either since you're only running this code once, when the addon is loaded. You need to hook the script OnEnter and OnLeave on the MiniMap. So:

Minimap:HookScript("OnEnter", function()
    MiniMapTrackingButton:Show();
end)
 
Minimap:HookScript("OnLeave", function()
    MiniMapTrackingButton:Hide();
end)

Should work.

local function OnLeave()
    if not Minimap:IsMouseOver() and not MiniMapTrackingButton:IsMouseOver() then
        MiniMapTrackingButton:Hide()
    end
end
 
Minimap:HookScript('OnEnter', function() MiniMapTrackingButton:Show() end)
Minimap:HookScript('OnLeave', OnLeave)
MiniMapTrackingButton:HookScript('OnLeave', OnLeave)

thanks guys! Works perfectly like I wanted to.
