Help needed with pets and frames...

[iindigo]

I'm working on an addon that needs to be able to hide one of its frames based on whether or not the player's pet is alive. As far as I can tell, this can be done with the event UNIT_PET, but for some reason information on how to use this event is sparse at best.

Anybody mind shedding some light on the subject?


Thanks!

UNIT_PET fires whenever you gain/lose/change a pet. So you could use that in conjunction with the UnitExists("pet") function.

edit: or the frame could be parented to the pet frame, which would make it show/hide if the pet frame is shown/hidden. This would make it difficult to support numerous unit frame addons, however.

Thanks a lot, that did the trick!
