CaptureBar moving

[Quokka]

Hi there,

Right now i'm using this pease of code, but for some odd reason it won't work.

I have my minimap set to the bottom right cornor of the screen, but fail to get the caputure bar above.

	if (WorldStateCaptureBar) then    
		WorldStateCaptureBar:ClearAllPoints()
		WorldStateCaptureBar:SetPoint("TOP", Minimap, "TOP", 0, 50)
		WorldStateCaptureBar.ClearAllPoints = function () end
--		WorldStateCaptureBar.SetPoint = function() end
	end

Or is there a way to change the bar to a new one.

blue - gray - red and Vertical with my nice own default texture?

thanks

I am not sure the WorldStateCaptureBar exists. I just tired in game to run WorldStateCaptureBar:Hide() and got an error telling me it doesn't exist. Are you positive that is the correct name?

[Quokka]

Yes i'm sure, but it's only there if yiu have a capturebar.

but I'll doppelcheck that

got some stuff moved

AchievementWatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
AchievementWatchFrame:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 'TOPLEFT', 5, -24)
AchievementWatchFrame.SetPoint = function() end

-- QuestWatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
-- QuestWatchFrame:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', AchievementWatchFrame, 'BOTTOMLEFT', 0, -13)
-- QuestWatchFrame.SetPoint = function() end

how would I get the default shifting of the QuestWatchFrame in relation to the AchievementWatchFrame?

and the WorldStateCaptureBar is giving me a hard time, because it simply wont work

if(WorldStateCaptureBar) then
WorldStateCaptureBar:ClearAllPoints()
WorldStateCaptureBar:SetPoint('TOP', UIParent, 'TOP', 0, -24)
WorldStateCaptureBar.SetPoint = function() end
end

This is what I used to move the durability man (ArmoredMan - Ace3). To see the full code in use, download it. Hope this gives you an idea.

DurabilityFrame -> WorldStateCaptureBar
ArmoredMan -> Your AddOn Name

function ArmoredMan:OnEnable()
        self:SecureHook("UIParent_ManageFramePositions", "setPosition")
end

function ArmoredMan:locked()
	DurabilityFrame:SetMovable(true)
	DurabilityFrame:EnableMouse(true)
	DurabilityFrame:SetClampedToScreen(true)
	DurabilityFrame:RegisterForDrag("LeftButton")
	DurabilityFrame:SetScript("OnDragStart", function(frame) if not self.db.profile.locked then frame:StartMoving() end end)
	DurabilityFrame:SetScript("OnDragStop", function(frame)
		if self.db.profile.locked then return end
		frame:StopMovingOrSizing()
		self.db.profile.x, self.db.profile.y = frame:GetCenter()
		self.db.profile.anchorframe, self.db.profile.anchor = "UIParent", "BOTTOMLEFT"
	end)

	DurabilityFrame:ClearAllPoints()
	DurabilityFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", self.db.profile.anchorframe, self.db.profile.anchor, self.db.profile.x, self.db.profile.y)
end

function ArmoredMan:setPosition()
	DurabilityFrame:ClearAllPoints()
	DurabilityFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", self.db.profile.anchorframe, self.db.profile.anchor, self.db.profile.x, self.db.profile.y)
end

tried a bit but could'nt get it working.

Your code sould make it movable, I'd like to have it at a pre set lua position

Just change x and y to set your position.

If you want to anchored to the minimap, just change UIParent to MinimapCluster.

local event = CreateFrame('Frame')
local x = 40
local y = 15

local move = function(self)
	WorldStateCaptureBar:ClearAllPoints()
	WorldStateCaptureBar:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, 'CENTER', x, y)
end

event.PLAYER_LOGIN = function()
	hooksecurefunc('UIParent_ManageFramePositions', move)
end

event:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
	self[event](self, event, ...)
end)
event:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")

so with the code inplace an error pops up

That frame is only created when it is needed. It is also actually 9 different frames called WorldStateCaptureBar1, WorldStateCaptureBar2, WorldStateCaptureBar3, etc. It's a PITA to move, which is why only several addons deal with it. I'm working on putting movers into my minimap addon, and I decided to just leave it in its default location. If a user wants to move it, they can use Capping or SSPVP (iirc, they move it). Chinchilla also moves this frame if you want to look at the code for these addons.
