kgPanels FadeIn/Out (OnClick)

So until mop opens I thought I'd make my UI a little fancier, so I decided to try and make a kgpanel that, when clicked, fades in and out a frame. My extreme coding skills got me this:

OnClick:

Lua Code:

if pressed then
   if SLDT_Clock:IsShown then
      UIFrameFadeOut(SLDT_Clock, 1, 1, 0)
   else
      UIFrameFadeIn(SLDT_Clock, 1, 0, 1)
   end
end

But this only makes "SLDT_Clock" fade out when clicked and not fade in when clicked again. So the question is: What am I missing?

Hi,
I think that the problem is that the frame is still shown, it hasn't explicitly been hidden, just the alpha has changed.

Try this instead:

Lua Code:

if pressed then
      if SLDT_Clock:GetAlpha() > 0 then
           UIFrameFadeOut(SLDT_Clock, 1, 1, 0)
      else
           UIFrameFadeIn(SLDT_Clock, 1, 0, 1)
     end
end

SLDT_Clock:GetAlpha() **

Just to make it clear, your sintax for 'IsShown' is that it's a function, meaning just as I showed above, IsShown() requires ()'s.

Lua Code:

if pressed then
   if SLDT_Clock:IsShown then
      UIFrameFadeOut(SLDT_Clock, 1, 1, 0)
   else
      UIFrameFadeIn(SLDT_Clock, 1, 0, 1)
   end
end

should be..

Lua Code:

if pressed then
   if SLDT_Clock:IsShown() then
      UIFrameFadeOut(SLDT_Clock, 1, 1, 0)
   else
      UIFrameFadeIn(SLDT_Clock, 1, 0, 1)
   end
end

Thanks for both of your responses. So if I understand this correctly, would I have to do something like SLDT_Clock:Hide() / SLDT_Clock:Show() aswell?

You'll have to either check for alpha, or use the 'fadeinfo' parameter that's available with UIFrameFadeIn(Out) and use its 'finishedFunc' to hide the frame after fading.

Example would be place with the OnLoad for that frame:

Lua Code:

self.fadeIn = {
    mode = "IN",
    timeToFade = 1,
    startAlpha = 0,
    endAlpha = 1,
    finishedFunc = function() 
        print("Fade in finished");
    end
}
 
self.fadeOut = {
    mode = "OUT",
    timeToFade = 1,
    startAlpha = 1,
    endAlpha = 0,
    finishedFunc = function() 
        SLDT_Clock:Hide(); -- Hide the frame after fading out.
    end
}

Then OnClick would be:

Lua Code:

if pressed then
   if SLDT_Clock:IsShown() then
      UIFrameFadeOut(SLDT_Clock, self.fadeOut)
   else
      UIFrameFadeIn(SLDT_Clock, self.fadeIn)
   end
end
