Eepanels Question(Advanced)
 

Hey all. UI designer here and I am a little stumped as I am attempting to expand my horizons and limits on eepanels.

Here is my newly updated 3.0 version(proof) and I have a question.

I want the skulls eyes and mouth to change to a red color(I have made the extra panels for it already) however I do not know the exact process on how to implement it in game. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch.

The question here is When do you want this to happen? Combat? death? low health? Im not 100% sure on how to go about doing that. but it may help people understand what you are trying to do. and i may be able to fish around for documentation on how to do such a thing

When i enter combat I want 2 of my eepanels to change to another eepanel to make it look as if it animates when entering combat. When leaving combat it goes back to my normal UI.

Well, you could add the script to the OnEvent area to check for combat, and either A) Add the panels using a "blend" mode and change the color (or even hidden/shown state) based on combat state or B) Have both panel/image sets aligned the same way and change the state of "panel set A" to hide in combat and "panel set B" show in combat (and vice versa to show/hide alternate).

Ok, I got it so I can get 1 to show on entering combat. Now heres the issue. I add the same script to another eepanel and i still only get 1 eepanel to show upon entering combat.

1. I want 2 eepanels to show up at the SAME time upon entering combat. What scripts do i need to add besides the original "show in combat" script?

2. I can get them to show up when the panels are "unlocked" but as soon as I lock them, it goes back to only showing 1 panel upon entering combat.

You can't use the same event in more than one script. You'll have to code in both panels in your script.

So how exactly do i do that?

eePanelX:Show()
eePanelX:Show()

(where X is the number of that eePanel)

So this would be the code then?

-- Hide the panel so it's not shown until we want it to
eePanelX:Hide()
eePanelY:Hide()
-- Hide panel ooc
function eePanels2:PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED()
eePanelX:Hide()
eePanelY:Hide()
end
-- Show panel ic
function eePanels2:PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED()
eePanelX:Hide()
eePanelY:Hide()
end
-- Ace2 event listeners; can't do this in more than one script
eePanels2:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
eePanels2:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

Process the Show/Hide in one script, in one Panel, with one set of listeners. Assuming you use eePanels 1 & 2 for IC, and 3 & 4 for OOC using OnEvent of Panel 1:

Ah i see now. Thank you very much and get ready for Jugger3.0!!! lol. thanks a bunch everyone!

Ok, got an issue now. I got it to work, but everytime i log out and log back in I have to "apply" the script again for it to take. Anyway to fix that?

Heres the script i put in.

-- Hide the panel so it's not shown until we want it to
eePanel8:Hide()
eePanel9:Hide()
-- Hide panel ooc
function eePanels2:PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED()
eePanel8:Hide()
eePanel9:Hide()
end
-- Show panel ic
function eePanels2:PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED()
eePanel8:Show()
eePanel9:Show()
end
-- Ace2 event listeners; can't do this in more than one script
eePanels2:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
eePanels2:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

like i said, after logging out and then back in, eepanel9 shows instead of hiding. once i hit ok on eepanel8 script then the UI works but doesnt save.

Do you have the script in eePanel9? If it's in eePanel8, then it loads before eePanel9 is created.

No i have it in eepanel8. does it need to be in 9?

Yes, it does. ;)

got it thanks.
