Trying to hide a stubborn frame

[Wrecktangle]

I am trying to remove the Achievement Statistics tab...it's an OCD nightmare that I want to pretend doesn't exist...

Here is what I have in my lua script:

AchievementFrameTab3:UnregisterAllEvents();
AchievementFrameTab3:Hide()

It will not go away. If I run the same macro in game it works fine:

/script AchievementFrameTab3:Hide()

To test the lua script I have also tried:

MainMenuBarLeftEndCap:Hide();
MainMenuBarRightEndCap:Hide();
AchievementFrameTab3:UnregisterAllEvents();
AchievementFrameTab3:Hide()

The Griffons are successfully removed, but not the statistics tab

Hiding frames is super simple and I have never had this problem before, but this time I am stuck.

Anyone have any ideas?

Are you sure Blizzard_AchievementUI has been loaded when your code runs? I don't think the tab exists before then.

local frame =CreateFrame("FRAME");																					
frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
function frame:OnEvent(event, arg1)
if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and arg1 == "Blizzard_AchievementUI" then	
AchievementFrameTab3:Hide()
end

end

frame:SetScript("OnEvent", frame.OnEvent)

try this

It seems to be working fine here. Are you running the code after the Blizzard_AchievementUI LoD addon has loaded? You can either wait for it to load naturally and run a hook then for force it to load before attempting to modify it.


Here are a couple examples:

if LoadAddOn("Blizzard_AchievementUI") then--   Make sure it does load or the next line will throw an error
    AchievementFrameTab3:Hide();
end

if IsAddOnLoaded("Blizzard_AchievementUI") then--   If it's already loaded, we don't need to waste memory creating a load hook
    AchievementFrameTab3:Hide();
else
    local eframe=CreateFrame("Frame");
    eframe:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");
    eframe:SetScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
        if event=="ADDON_LOADED" and (...)=="Blizzard_AchievementUI" then
            AchievementFrameTab3:Hide();
            self:UnregisterEvent(event);--  Don't need this event firing anymore, saving CPU time
            self:SetScript("OnEvent",nil);--    Optional too, but letting GarbageCollect pick up this function
        end
    end);
end

PS: They type their code faster than me.
