Spawning party without visibility attribute

[zork]

haste stated that spawning the party should be possible without using the visibility attribute which is the third attribute of the party header spawn.

Here is the code to spawn a party without the visibility attribute but with a seperate toggle. That will fix the party flickering for now.

Full code including toggle:

[code]  
  if cfg.units.party.show then
    oUF:RegisterStyle("diablo:party", createStyle)
    oUF:SetActiveStyle("diablo:party")
    
    local party = oUF:SpawnHeader(
      "oUF_DiabloPartyHeader", 
      nil, 
      nil, --"solo,party", --visibility argument
      "showSolo", cfg.units.party.showsolo, --debug
      "showParty", true,
      "showPlayer", true,
      "point", "LEFT",
      "oUF-initialConfigFunction", ([[
        self:SetWidth(%d)
        self:SetHeight(%d)
        self:SetScale(%f)
      ]]):format(128, 64, cfg.units.party.scale)
    )
    party:SetPoint(cfg.units.party.pos.a1,cfg.units.party.pos.af,cfg.units.party.pos.a2,cfg.units.party.pos.x,cfg.units.party.pos.y)    
    party:Show()
         
    local toggle = CreateFrame("Frame")
    toggle:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
    toggle:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")
    toggle:RegisterEvent("PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED")
    toggle:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBER_CHANGED")
    toggle:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self)
      if(InCombatLockdown()) then
        self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
      else
        self:UnregisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
        if(GetNumRaidMembers() > 0) then
          party:Hide()
        else
          party:Show()
        end
      end
    end)
    
  end
[/code]

Im gonna try this when i come home, i wanted to get this damn flickering away but, i've tryed the previous once that where posted, but didnt work really.

hmm it doesnt seem to work for me.

here is my party code

oUF:RegisterStyle('Aftermathh', func)

oUF:Factory(function(self)
  oUF:SetActiveStyle'Aftermathh'
  
    self:Spawn'player':SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', UIParent, 196, 182)
    self:Spawn'target':SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', UIParent, -237, 184)
    self:Spawn'targettarget':SetPoint('RIGHT', UIParent, -75, -189) 
    self:Spawn'focus':SetPoint('LEFT', UIParent, 108, -45)
    self:Spawn'focustarget':SetPoint('LEFT', UIParent, 17, -3)
    self:Spawn'pet':SetPoint('LEFT', UIParent, 105, -156)
	
	local party = self:SpawnHeader('AftermathhParty', nil, 'party,solo',
		'showParty', true,
		'showPlayer', false,
		'showSolo', false,
		'xoffset', 12,
		'yOffset', -52,
		'oUF-initialConfigFunction', [[
			self:SetHeight(27)
			self:SetWidth(150)
			self:SetScale(0.95)
		]]
	)
	party:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 10, -20)
	party:Show()
   
    local toggle = CreateFrame("Frame")
    toggle:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
    toggle:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")
    toggle:RegisterEvent("PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED")
    toggle:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBER_CHANGED")
    toggle:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self)
      if(InCombatLockdown()) then
        self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
      else
        self:UnregisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
        if(GetNumRaidMembers() > 0) then
          party:Hide()
        else
          party:Show()
        end
      end
    end)
	
    if bossframes then
        local boss = {}
        for i = 1, MAX_BOSS_FRAMES do
            local unit = self:Spawn("boss"..i, "oUF_AftermathhBoss"..i)

            if i==1 then
                unit:SetPoint("CENTER", 500, 200)
            else
                unit:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", boss[i-1], "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, -10)
            end
            boss[i] = unit
        end
    end
end)

mmo-champion have just posted that patch 4.0.3 should hit live servers this week. If this is true then it should include the Blizzard-side fix to stop the flickering on header units.

[Aftermathhqt]

i hope so.

Game the third argument has to be nil.
You don't do that, you still use visibility by using 'party,solo'
