Hello im new to LUA and I got a Problem:

Code:

local CharCheckButton = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "CharCheckButton", UIParent, "ChatConfigCheckButtonTemplate");
CharCheckButton:SetPoint("RIGHT", CharFenster);
CharCheckButton.tooltip = "Versteckt das Charakterfenster.";
CharCheckButton:SetFrameStrata("OVERLAY")

local function CheckIt()
local isChecked = CharCheckButton:GetChecked()
if isChecked == 1 then
	PlayerFrame:Hide()
	else
	PlayerFrame:Show()
end
CharCheckButton:SetScript("OnClick", CheckIt)

where is my Mistake?
Edit: Its not working,thats the problem ofc

You're missing another end.

Also, if you're posting code here, please use [ code ] or [ highlight=lua ]

You missed another end, and don't edit your first post that much, if you did some small change most people won't be able to notice it.

Code:

local CharCheckButton = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "CharCheckButton", UIParent, "ChatConfigCheckButtonTemplate");
CharCheckButton:SetPoint("RIGHT", CharFenster);
CharCheckButton.tooltip = "Versteckt das Charakterfenster.";
CharCheckButton:SetFrameStrata("OVERLAY")

local function CheckIt()
	local isChecked = CharCheckButton:GetChecked()
	if isChecked == 1 then
		PlayerFrame:Hide()
	else
		PlayerFrame:Show()
	end
end

CharCheckButton:SetScript("OnClick", CheckIt)

Yeah, havent edited the code after i found the mistake-> i got 2 ends now one for IF and one for function-> it wont work anyway

Okay, thought to post the code over and over will be more crazy than just an edit

but im fine with that, now i know that ^^

so:

Code:

local CharCheckButton = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "CharCheckButton", UIParent, "ChatConfigCheckButtonTemplate");
CharCheckButton:SetPoint("RIGHT", CharFenster);
CharCheckButton.tooltip = "Versteckt das Charakterfenster.";
CharCheckButton:SetFrameStrata("OVERLAY")

local function CheckIt()
	local isChecked = CharCheckButton:GetChecked()
	if isChecked == 1 then
		PlayerFrame:Hide()
	else
		PlayerFrame:Show()
	end
end

CharCheckButton:SetScript("OnClick", CheckIt)

wont work(its your changed code) ->The checkbox doesnt do anything

OVERLAY is a draw layer, not a frame strata. Here's a list of acceptable values for a frame strata.

Yeah thank you. After I found my mistake I took a look why it wasnt working and found a page like the one you linked!

And just turning on the LUA-Failures should help me alot now

Maybe you can tell me why this isnt working:

Code:

local CharCheckButton = MenueRight:CreateFrame("CheckButton", "CharCheckButton", UIParent, "ChatConfigCheckButtonTemplate");

Its working without MenueRight: but i want to make it a child of "MenueRight" so i can HIDE it whenever it is needed(if i hide the parent) to be hide

p3lim · 08-12-12, 02:13 AM

CreateFrame is a function, not a method.

You can do this:

Code:

local CharCheckButton = CreateFrame('CheckButton', 'CharCheckButton', MenueRight, 'ChatConfigCheckButtonTemplate')

AH, Zopex...just open your eyes next time

Thanks guys.. i hope i dont have that much questions till I know everything what you guys know
