Tips for Premade Groups

[Hubb777]

Hi all. I was faced with the problem that I needed to add a hint to the name of the group. For example the word "Hello". How to do it?

So that the tooltip is at the very bottom or below the player's name. I did this option (but it didn’t work). Tell me how to make it work?

local function OnEnter(self)
    if self and self.resultID then
        GameTooltip:SetOwner(self, "ANCHOR_RIGHT")
        GameTooltip:SetText("Hello")
        GameTooltip:Show()
    end
end
 
local function OnLeave(self)
    GameTooltip:Hide()
end
 
local function HookButtons()
    local buttons = LFGListFrame.SearchPanel.ScrollBox:GetChildren()
    for _, button in pairs({buttons:GetChildren()}) do
        button:HookScript("OnEnter", OnEnter)
        button:HookScript("OnLeave", OnLeave)
    end
end
 
local eventFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
eventFrame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
eventFrame:RegisterEvent("LFG_LIST_SEARCH_RESULTS_RECEIVED")
eventFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, arg1)
    if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and arg1 == "HelloHover" then
        HookButtons()
    elseif event == "LFG_LIST_SEARCH_RESULTS_RECEIVED" then
        HookButtons()
    end
end)

I tried this option. But it didn't work either.

-- Function to display the tooltip with "Hello"
local function ShowTooltip(self)
    GameTooltip:SetOwner(self, "ANCHOR_RIGHT")
    GameTooltip:SetText("Hello", 1, 1, 1, 1, true)
    GameTooltip:Show()
end
 
-- Function to hide the tooltip
local function HideTooltip(self)
    GameTooltip:Hide()
end
 
-- Function to hook the premade group buttons
local function HookPremadeGroupButtons()
    local LFGListFrame = _G["LFGListFrame"]
    local buttons = LFGListFrame.SearchPanel.ScrollFrame.buttons
 
    for _, button in ipairs(buttons) do
        button:HookScript("OnEnter", ShowTooltip)
        button:HookScript("OnLeave", HideTooltip)
    end
end
 
-- Event frame to wait until LFG UI is loaded
local eventFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
eventFrame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
eventFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, addonName)
    if addonName == "Blizzard_LookingForGroupUI" then
        HookPremadeGroupButtons()
        self:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
    end
end)

I'd suggest taking a look at LFGListUtil_SetSearchEntryTooltip(). This is the function responsible for generating the tooltip for the search result entry. This is called from LFGListSearchEntry_OnEnter().

A few additional notes:

1. The only legitimate reason to wait for your own ADDON_LOADED event is if you need to process your SavedVariables before the addon can run.
2. Calling :HookScript() endlessly stacks your hook function on top of itself until it crashes the game.
3. If you want to make sure your code runs after another function, you need to hook a function/script. Events call registered frames in a completely random order. There's no guarantee your code will run after your intended target.

As for your second post, I don't see Blizzard_LookingForGroupUI existing in any current client.

Thank you very much it worked. But it seems that in order to display the correct number of "threads" you need to see this player. It was not possible to display through pre-assembled groups.
