ChatFrame1:SetPoint()

alimjocox · 12-19-09, 01:22 AM

Code:

ChatFrame1:ClearAllPoints()
ChatFrame1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, 10, 10)
ChatFrame1:SetWidth(321)
ChatFrame1:SetHeight(121)

can anyone tell me why this isn't enough to move my ChatFrame1 ? It sets the width and height. I'm a Lua noob but im trying to learn

((just a small section of the entire addon))

tried that as well it doesnt work

im using idChat addon, is there something that I miss which clashes or stops it from moving?

You could try making it so the frame can't be moved after you move it with:

Code:

ChatFrame1:ClearAllPoints()
ChatFrame1:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', UIParent, 'BOTTOMLEFT', 10, 10)
ChatFrame1:SetWidth(321)
ChatFrame1:SetHeight(121)

local function DoNothing() end
ChatFrame1.ClearAllPoints = DoNothing
ChatFrame1.SetPoint = DoNothing

That's an odd behavior. Been coming across a lot of those lately....

It was moving, it was just getting moved right back again.
