DisableAddon() only per player!

[XanUI]

Hi! First of all i am a total beginner at LUA
I made a little UIcompilation with a setup window which is an addon where you can choose the layout.
Because i only want to see this window once on first login i made a DisableAddon() function.
Now to the issue: when i log into an alt the setup window does not appear because i disabled it for all chars in the first place.
Can anyone help me?

Use: SavedVariablesPerCharacter

lua:

local function DoStuffOnFirstLogin()
    -- load stuff
end
 
local install = CreateFrame("Frame")
 
install:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
 
install:SetScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
    if ... == "AddOnName" then
        if AddOnVariable then
            return
        else
            AddOnVariable = true
            
            DoStuffOnFirstLogin()
        end
    end
end)

toc:

## Interface: 60200
## Title: AddOnName
## Notes: AddOnNotes
## SavedVariablesPerCharacter: AddOnVariable

Was DisableAddon() changed? It's supposed to only be on a per-character basis.

[XanUI]

WoWWiki says:

The first time an addon is disabled (with this function or the user addon panel) it will be disabled for all characters on that realm. Every subsequent time it will enabled/disabled per character.

I have no idea how to use that to my advantage

[Seerah]

Ah, I was going off of wowprogramming.

Aha! Looking at the UI source (because there has to be some way to make it for only one character, as the UI can do this with the character dropdown menu)...

function AddonList_Enable(index, enabled)
    local value
 
    if ( InGlue() ) then
        local character = UIDropDownMenu_GetSelectedValue(AddonCharacterDropDown);
        local setForAll = false;
        if ( character == ALL ) then
            setForAll = true;
            character = nil;
        end
        value = setForAll or character
    else
        value = UIDropDownMenu_GetSelectedValue(AddonCharacterDropDown)
    end
    if ( enabled ) then
        PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOn");
        EnableAddOn(index,value);
    else
        PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOff");
        DisableAddOn(index,value);
    end
    AddonList_Update();
end

So here is my Setup Code so far. This is the last problem i am encountering with my UI Compilation as mentioned above: the AddOn XanUISetup is disabled for all other Characters from the same realm after i log in on my first Char and use it.

I want it to show once on every first login on EVERY Charakter.

Use a per-char saved variable instead of disabling the addon. Delay everything your addon does until its ADDON_LOADED event fires. When the event fires, check the saved variable. If it doesn't exist, create your addon's UI and do all the stuff, and set the varaiable. If it does exist, just return out without creating any objects or doing anything.

Thanks, I was looking for such clues.

This is what i got so far... sadly the Setup Window doesn't even show up now
hopefully you find the error.

After downloading "XanUI" (which is 70MB, btw), it would appear the name of the directory is "XanUISetup", not "XanUI Setup", and that's the name you should be checking for in the event handler.

You can avoid this confusion by just fetching the actual addon name inside the addon itself, which you already have from local xanuisetup = (...), eg:

frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, addon)
    if addon == xanuisetup then
        if XanuiSetupDB then
            return
        else
            XanuiSetupDB = true         
            DoStuffOnFirstLogin()
        end
    end
end)

Awesome! It works! It hast 70Mb because of Clean Icons ^^

Thanks Guys!

[Seerah]

I would point users towards that download page instead.
