Munk,

Thank you for the feedback. I've seen others use

frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    if self[event] then
        self[event](self, ...)
    end
end)

And I get the concept of how it works, but I don't truly understand the syntax. My understanding is this: we see if the event is a table key of our function table with

if self[event] then

. If this passes, then it runs a function that has the same name as the event.

Later in the code you name the function like:

function frame:PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD(...)
    -- code
end

but wouldn't this create a global function as there's no local before the function? Or is it still localized because that function is bound to (in this case) the STF frame from the initial SetScript?

Additionally, I don't understand how you would upvalue a table value. I understand that an upvalue look up is faster than a table look up, especially three table look ups, I just don't fully grasp how you would do it.

Thank you for everyone's comments and feedback. It has been very helpful.
