Setting the panel's Parent to the target frame will have the panel appear/disappear along with the frame. To find out what the target frame element is called, hover over it and type /print GetMouseFocus():GetName() - this'll return the name of the target frame which you can then tell the eePanel to inherit from.

If you are using Pitbull as your unit frames, however, it becomes a little less simple as Pitbull creates frames only when demanded and discards them afterwards. If you are using eePanels, this seems pretty impossible to get around - I had to upgrade to eePanels2 to do it. If you're asking about creating scripts though, it seems likely you already have version 2.

Version 2 has a checkbox called "Dynamic Frames Fix" which, when checked, attempts to allow parenting to Pitbull elements as normal. It certainly worked fantastically for me.

I'm using eePanels2, but Parenting is not the solution I'm looking for. I, quite literally, wrote the book on eePanels usage...I just have no clue how to script in .lua

. Thanks though!

Of course, some addons may have that behavior enabled by default with no option available, but I know I've seen that checkbox within Pitbull.

Pitbulls default setting has that option unchecked and it gives the same problems, with the added complication that depending on where i drag the frames, they "jump" off the screen.

It seems that there are 2 "coordinate systems" that manage the WoW UI and the script i use to center some UI elements on my left monitor seems to mess up the correlation between the two systems. Some addons are unaffected and behave as you'd expect while others display this strange behavior with frames "jumping" to different positions more to the left of where they're intended to be.

Hey really quick question looking some brilliant shiny person to tell me how i can change the fonts my pit bull is using, Before the patch it came with its own fonts in a "fonts" folder, i simple renamed the font i wanted to one that was already in their, now i don't see one, only three fonts able for me to chose from. My search cant find them so i can't rename and replace with what i want (think their from default wow folders sum where) anyway any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

THIS_Hook = AceLibrary("AceAddon-2.0"):new("AceHook-2.1")

function THIS_Hook:OnShow(frame, ...)
       eePanel#:Show()
       return THIS_Hook.hooks[frame].OnShow(frame,...)
end

function THIS_Hook:OnHide(frame, ...)
       eePanel#:Hide()
       return THIS_Hook.hooks[frame].OnHide(frame,...)
end

THIS_Hook:HookScript(TARGET_FRAME_NAME, "OnShow")
THIS_Hook:HookScript(TARGET_FRAME_NAME, "OnHide")

Try this.

I have a question about AG_Unitframes for a shaman. As I understand it the shaman totems now give an aura that can be clicked off to destroy individual totems. I cannot find a way to have AG_Unitframes show these (that are clickable). When I have a totem such as tremor totem up, I have no buff at all (and can only tell it is up by looking for the totem on the ground). Thanks, I'm sure I'm just missing something.

As far as I've heard CurMP isn't in DogTags3.0 yet. Go check our very own The DogTags 3.0 Thread for updates.

last patch i updated addons, and when i got killing blows i got quake sounds such as "first blood" "godlike" which were cool, this patch they seem to have dissapeared, and now clearcasting makes a very annoying noise when it procs. could someone let me know which addons cause this and how i can turn them off

thanks

Rafie · 03/29/08, 5:40 PM

Fairly certain the Quake KB sounds are from NECB, which you'll need to update.

Edit for post below: For the NECB thing, once you get the working 2.4 copy, there should be a on/off thing in the NECB options, believe it's on the right side. As far as the clearcasting, I'd first check and make sure it's not the sound the game makes for clearcasting? Other than that, I dunno, wish I was more helpful.

trif · 03/29/08, 9:04 PM

ahh, that explains that one, must be an option in there somewhere to turn on/off, any idea about the clearcasting proc sound? think thats necb too?

I'm not sure where to ask this but could anyone tell me what font is used for the unitframes/classtimer bars in this UI:

I have a question:

How do I make my Arena Unit Frames bigger?

There is no resize option. =(

Those unitframes are definitely pitbull. The dot timers could be any number of things from Quartz, to DotTimer, to ClassTimers.
