visibility state driver on unitframes?

[zork]

Hi guys,

I tried adding a visibility state driver to my player unitframe.
I cannot get it to work.

--show/hide the frame on a given state driver
  if cfg.frameVisibility then
    frame.frameVisibility = cfg.frameVisibility
    frame.frameVisibilityFunc = cfg.frameVisibilityFunc
    RegisterStateDriver(frame, cfg.frameVisibilityFunc or "visibility", cfg.frameVisibility)
  end

What am I missing?

Wierdly enough if I enter /run oUF_SimplePlayer:Hide() into chat it pops right back up.

I use the following modifier on my actionbar which works just fine:

frameVisibility = "[combat][modifier][@target,exists] show; hide"

How do I register a custom visibility state driver on oUF unit frames?

I tried adding a seperate state handler frame. The handler is working properly. The show/hide has an effect according to the chat output but the visual effect is not there. The player frame stays visible.

--show/hide player frame on state change
  local player = oUF:Spawn("player", A.."Player")
  local frame = CreateFrame("frame",nil,nil,"SecureHandlerStateTemplate")
  frame:SetFrameRef("player", player)
  frame:SetAttribute("_onstate-combat", [=[
    player = self:GetFrameRef("player")
    print(newstate,player:GetName())
    if newstate == "show" then
      player:Show()
      print(player:IsShown())
    else
      player:Hide()
      print(player:IsShown())
    end
  ]=])
  RegisterStateDriver(frame, "combat", "[target,exists][modifier] show; hide")

I added this:

hooksecurefunc(player, 'Show', function(self)
    print("func call Show",self:GetName(),self:IsShown())
  end)

It literally spams my chat with Show calls. What the heck is going on? The same is true for target if I have a target and the hook is applied to target aswell.

Single unit frames are handled by the SecureStateDriveManager. Just unregister the frame and it should let you override it:

UnregisterUnitWatch(frame)

You can also use oUF's own API for it:

frame:Disable()

It's the same as just calling UnregisterUnitWatch, but it also calls frame:Hide().

Thanks will give it a go.

*edit* Tested it. Works perfectly, thanks haste.

local player = oUF:Spawn("player", A.."Player")
player:Disable()
RegisterStateDriver(player, "visibility", "[combat][target,exists][modifier] show; hide")
