Hiding elements based on player state

I'm currently working on some additions/changes to the oUF_Neav layout and I've run into a snag. I'm trying to hide the Level text when I am resting or in combat, and display those icons instead. I'm able to get the icons to display correctly, however I'm having issues with hiding the Level text. This is the code I'm currently running:

Code:

              -- level

        if (unit == "player" or unit == "target" or unit == "focus") then

                self.Level = CreateFont(self.Health, "Interface\\AddOns\\oUF_Neav\\media\\fontNumber.ttf", 17, "OUTLINE", 0, 0)

                self.Level:SetPoint("CENTER", self.f, (unit == "player" and -63) or 63.5, -15)

                self.Level:SetText("[level]")

                self:Tag(self.Level, "[level]")

        end



                --combaticon

        if (unit == "player") then

                self.Combat = self.Health:CreateTexture(nil, 'OVERLAY', self)

                self.Combat:SetHeight(20)

                self.Combat:SetWidth(20)

                self.Combat:SetPoint('CENTER', self.f, -63, -15)

                self.Combat:SetTexture('Interface\\CharacterFrame\\UI-StateIcon')

                self.Combat:SetTexCoord(0.58, 0.90, 0.08, 0.41)

        end

        

                --resticon

        if (unit == "player") then

                self.Resting = self.Health:CreateTexture(nil, 'OVERLAY', self)

                self.Resting:SetHeight(28)

                self.Resting:SetWidth(28)

                self.Resting:SetPoint('CENTER', self.f, -63, -15)

                self.Resting:SetTexture('Interface\\CharacterFrame\\UI-StateIcon')

                self.Resting:SetTexCoord(0,0.5,0,0.421875)

        end

I then have this set to the player frame specifically:

Code:

if self.Resting then

    self.Level:Hide()

elseif self.Combat then

    self.Level:Hide()

else

    self.Level:Show()

end

I've also tried

Code:

if (not self.Resting or self.Combat) then

      self.Level:Show()

else

      self.Level:Hide()

end

The first hides the level text all the time, while the second doesn't hide it at all. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Actually, after beating on a target dummy my request has become slightly more complicated. I'd like to prioritize Resting icon > Combat icon > Level text. I still haven't found a way to do this though.

I think thats rather easy. Create yourself a assistant frame and anchor 4 Events on that frame. (Resting started, Resting ended, Combat started, Combat ended and Player Entering World)

http://www.wowwiki.com/Events/P

PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING
PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED
PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED
PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD

This is how you could implement. Create the assistant frame, register Events to that frame and call a function upcon event. Use conditions to do specific thing upon specific events.

Code:

  

  -- Hello world function

  local function am(text,event)

    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(text)

  end

  

  -- Create a local variable of the type Frame

  local a = CreateFrame("Frame")

  

  -- Register a Event on that Frame

  a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING")

  a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

  a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")

  a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

  

  -- Set a script that will be run on a given Event

  a:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event)

    

    -- Call the Hello World function

    if event == "PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING" then

      am("Hello World!",event)

    elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then

      am("OUCH!")

    else

      am("DOH!")

    end

  end)

So I added your code into my layout like this:

Code:

                -- Hello world function

                local function am(text,event)

                        DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(text)

                end



                

                local a = CreateFrame("Frame")

  

                -- Register a Event on that Frame

                a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING")

                a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

                a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")

                a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

  

                -- Set a script that will be run on a given Event

                a:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event)

    

                        -- Call the Hello World function

                if event == "PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING" then

                        am("Hello World!",event)

                        oUF.units.player.Level:Hide()

                        oUF.units.player.Combat:Hide()

                elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then

                        am("OUCH!")

                        oUF.units.player.Level:Hide()

                else

                        am("DOH!")

                        oUF.units.player.Level:Show()

                end

        end)

It works perfectly for showing/hiding in combat. However any time my resting state changes it hides everything until I enter and leave combat to reset it. I'm sure this is because PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING is simply saying whether the resting state changed, rather than firing a true/false.

I found http://www.wowwiki.com/API_IsResting which looks closer to what I am looking for but I'm not sure how to use it since it isn't an event. Any other ideas? :D

Edit: Updated description of what the code actually does.

Edit2: An idea I had, though I'm too much of a coding noob to be sure if it would work. Could I make my own event to fire resting = true or resting = false using the IsResting() API?
