Hiding Unitframes
I have tried everything I can find in this massive forum post, and my eyes hurt. What I am trying to do is add a function to my unit frames. I want my player frame to hide.

I want it to ONLY show if
-I am NOT at full health and mana
-I am in a party or raid
-I am in a BG/Arena

I am using Ouf_Drk.

I can get it in the Lua, I just need someone to put it up here so I can cut, and paste it.. I am willing to pay with my first born, OR human blood (Up to 11.7 Litres) .. :P

I'd start with oUF_BarFader (plugin) and maybe modify it to match your conditions or live with the default settings.

oUF_BarFader is outdated but easy to fix.

UNIT_FOCUS, UNIT_ENERGY, UNIT_RAGE, UNIT_MANA and UNIT_RUNIC_POWER got merged into UNIT_POWER.

UNIT_HAPPINESS, GetPetHappiness(), UnitMana(), UnitManaMax() are no more.

For party/raid check you could try registering PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED (not sure right now if this gets fired upon joining a raid) and check GetNumPartyMembers() and GetNumRaidMembers(). Alternatively use PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED and RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE if PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED is not fired as wished.

You then have to add oUF_BarFader as OptDep to the .toc of your layout and set 'self.BarFade = true' and 'self.BarFadeMinAlpha = 0' for your player frame.

So .. do I change all instances of (UNIT_FOCUS, UNIT_ENERGY, UNIT_RAGE, UNIT_MANA and UNIT_RUNIC_POWER)

Into (UNIT_POWER) ?

Okay and This is my Player frame infor from Core.Lua Where do I put (self.BarFade = true' and 'self.BarFadeMinAlpha = 0)

UnitSpecific = {
player = function(self)
-- unit specifics
self.mystyle = "player"
lib.addHealthBar(self)
lib.addPowerBar(self)
lib.addPortrait(self)

-- Set frame size
self:SetScale(cfg.frameScale)
self:SetWidth(250)
self:SetHeight(53)

-- Set statusbars specifics
self.Health:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', self, 'TOPLEFT', 0, 0)
self.Health:SetSize(250, 33)
self.Health:SetStatusBarColor(unpack(cfg.healthBarColor))
self.Health.bg:SetVertexColor(unpack(cfg.healthBgColor))

self.Power:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', self, 'BOTTOMLEFT', 0, 0)
self.Power:SetSize(250, 15)
self.Power.colorTapping = true
self.Power.colorDisconnected = true
self.Power.colorClass = true
self.Power.bg.multiplier = 0.3
self.Power.frequentUpdates = true

lib.addTextTags(self, 17)
lib.ThreatBar(self)
lib.AltPowerBar(self)

lib.addIcons(self)

lib.addClassBar(self)

-- Buffs and Debuffs
if cfg.showPlayerBuffs then lib.addBuffs(self, cfg.auras.BUFFPOSITIONS.player) end
if cfg.showPlayerDebuffs then lib.addDebuffs(self,cfg.auras.DEBUFFPOSITIONS.player) end

lib.addCastBar(self, false)

-- Plugins
lib.addCombatFeedback(self)
end,

Thanx :P

Okay .. I totally got it working 99.9%

Now the only issue I have is when I target something the target frame comes up, and then the player frame comes up about 2 seconds later. I would love it if I could fix this to be instant.

I realize that it's purely esthetic's, but alas tis more fun to love the UI you use :P ..

Anyways, What I did was removed the "fade effect" So Bar appear and disappear instantly, and work perfectly the way I want. Just the simple fact that the player frame responds slower than the target frame.

I would appreciate anymore help, and I promise I will stop bothering you all :P

From my previous post:

UNIT_HAPPINESS, GetPetHappiness(), UnitMana(), UnitManaMax() are no more.
From your code:
lua Code:
  1. if(unit == 'pet' and GetPetHappiness() and GetPetHappiness() < 3) then return true end
  2. ...
  3. if((str == 'RAGE' or str == 'RUNIC_POWER') and UnitPower(unit) > 0) then return true end
  4. if((str ~= 'RAGE' and str ~= 'RUNIC_POWER') and UnitMana(unit) < UnitManaMax(unit)) then return true end
  5. end

Thats all well and good, but as I said, it works fine the way I have it atm. Unless you are telling me that removing these 5 lines will fix the lag I am experiencing with the Player frame appearing?

Removing or changing any one of the lines in your quote completely prevent the mod from working at all. I have to replace them exactly the way they currently are to get back to where they where working properly.

You say that these things (UNIT_HAPPINESS, GetPetHappiness(), UnitMana(), UnitManaMax() are no more. But I am confused as to what to do with them. Replace them? Delete them? ..

Sorry for my derpiness. And as always your help is greatly appreciated.

To be honest, I don't know why it lags so much for you. The only proposal I have left is to upvalue the function used in pending.

Apparently UnitMana and UnitManaMax are still there (they're just the same as UnitPower and UnitPowerMax). That's why you didn't get any errors there. You have enabled BarFader for the player frame only, that's why you didn't noticed the error GetPetHappiness() produces.

p3lim has a typo and checks for self.BarFaderMinAlpha instead of self.BarFadeMinAlpha, but that way you just got the default value of 0.25 and again no probs.

Frame fading-in on casts does not function (that's a race condition I believe. You could test this with bandaging yourself and using the hearthstone)

Here the code that worked for me
(typo in self.BarFaderMinAlpha fixed, blizz funcs as upvalues, removed useless events, removed GetPetHappiness, used UnitPower instead of UnitMana)
lua Code:
  1. --[[

  16. local UnitPowerMax = UnitPowerMax
  17.  
  18. local function pending(self, unit)

There is a small lag when fading in/out, but it's half a second or less for me. Upvalueing the funcs does not make a difference for me either.

cool man, I definitely appreciate your continued response. I'll give your code a go and see what happens.

Brb :P

Okay .. working exactly like I want, but still the quick lag. I made a super quick fraps vid just to show you what I mean, in case I wasn't explaining it properly.

That has been like that forever with BarFader. You will learn to live with it. Not that it's game breaking, anyway.
