HookScript after SetScript not working?

Hi,

I thought Ace HookScript function would hook on any script and first process the handler
and after that the original function.

How ever when I do the following:

Lua Code:

self.frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
    print("original function");
end);
 
self:HookScript(self.frame, "OnEvent", function()
    print("hooked function");
end);

"original function" will be printed but "hooked function" wont ever be printed.
So whats the thing about that?

i feel like this should definitely work.

Code:



self.frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()

    print("original function");

end);

 

self:HookScript(self.frame, "OnEvent", function()

    print("hooked function");

end);

in this code you are hooking different objects tho self and self.frame
it should work like that:

Code:



self.frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()

    print("original function");

end);

 

self.frame:HookScript("OnEvent", function()

    print("hooked function");

end);

if you want to do it the way you did in your HookScript() you need to do the following (repalce colon with a simple dot)

Code:

self.frame.HookScript(self.frame, "OnEvent", function()

    print("hooked function");

end);

^ is equivalent to replacing the dot before HookScript() with a colon and removing the first argument

I should have mentioned that im using Ace3 Hook mixin. So

Lua Code:

self:HookScript(self.frame, ...

is fine. Btw If I do not have a `SetScript` for `OnEvent` and only perform the hook:

Lua Code:

self:HookScript(self.frame, "OnEvent", function()
    print("hooked function");
end);

"hooked function" is getting printed. So it really only does not work when I did a `SetScript`
for `OnEvent` before hooking it.
