Bubbles in 9.0.1

I have a function fired on event CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_SAY - ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_SAY", ChatFilter) :

Code:

local function BB_bubblizeText()

  for i = 1, WorldFrame:GetNumChildren() do

    local child = select(i, WorldFrame:GetChildren());

    if not child:IsForbidden() then

        for j = 1, child:GetNumRegions() do

          region = select(j, child:GetRegions());

          ----more code

        end

    end

  end

  BB_ctrFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", nil);

end





local function ChatFilter(self, event, arg1, arg2, arg3, _, arg5, ...)

  if (GetCVar("ChatBubbles")) then

      BB_ctrFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", BB_bubblizeText);

  end

end

Method child:GetNumRegions() return always 0 now.
Is now any other way to review bubblized frames on the screen?

It returns 0 because all the regions have been moved to a nameless subframe now. I was able to discover the regions more or less this way;

Lua Code:

-- Iterate all the bubbles. 
-- This function only returns bubbles we can edit, 
-- so we can bypass all the forbidden stuff, and save time.
for _, bubble in pairs(C_ChatBubbles.GetAllChatBubbles()) do
    -- Iterate the children, as the actual bubble content 
    -- has been placed in a nameless subframe in 9.0.1.
    for i = 1, bubble:GetNumChildren() do
        local child = select(i, select(i, bubble:GetChildren()))
        if (child:GetObjectType() == "Frame") and (child.String) and (child.Center) then
            -- This is hopefully the frame with the content
            for i = 1, child:GetNumRegions() do
                local region = select(i, child:GetRegions())
                if (region:GetObjectType() == "Texture") then
                    local texture = region:GetTexture()
                    -- do something
 
                elseif (region:GetObjectType() == "FontString") then
                    local text = region
                    -- do something
                end
            end
        end
    end
 
end

Yes, yes! This is the solution.
Thank you, Goldpaw.

Bubbles in dungeons

And how to solve the same problem with dungeons?

The C_ChatBubbles.GetAllChatBubbles() function returns the value 0 there.
I can use a function there with a parameter includeForbidden : true
C_ChatBubbles.GetAllChatBubbles(true), then the function bubble:GetNumChildren() does not work:
call 'GetNumChildren' on bad self

Friendly nameplates and most chat bubbles in dungeons and raids are protected and can neither be accessed or modified in any way now.

Blizzard just don't want us touching these things, and even if we found a way a new hotfix would remove it.
