Blizzard combatlog frame

Is there a way to hide the Blizzard CombatLog when in a group?

Bumping for anyone who may know of an addon or a way to hide the blizzard combat log while in a group.

Thanks.

Could you be more specific? The best guess I can come up with is that you have the combat log undocked from the other chat tabs, and off somewhere by itself, and you want it to only show up when you're solo?

If that's correct then yes you can do that; although I'm not aware of an addon specifically intended for that purpose.

Yes, this is it precisely, sorry for my vagueness.

I use Chatter as well, and have the combat log positioned over a KGpanel to the bottom right of my screen.

I also use the same panel as a background to my Grid, which is configured to show up when in a group.

However, Chatter does not have an option to make the combat log frame fade out when in a group.

Do you know of a way I can accomplish this?

Thanks.

Yeah, sorry. I gave you some code for the wrong thing because I wasn't awake yet. Then I forgot to come back to you.

What you want is this script for your kgPanel: http://www.wowace.com/addons/kg-pane...r-5-main-party

But instead of self:Hide() and self:Show(), you'll use ChatFrame2:Hide() and ChatFrame2:Show(). At least that should work for you.

Thanks, this script will hide just the blizzard combat log frame, and not my KGpanel, correct?

I use the panel as a background graphic, and I do not want it hidden.

The change Seerah said to use causes the frame named "ChatFrame2" to hide while in combat, and be shown out of combat. "ChatFrame2" is the Combat Log, without exception (that I'm aware of).

I'd rather use COMBATLOG instead of ChatFrame2.

The only "Script" portion of the kgpanels addon that I can find is under "default panels"

I copy/pasted your text, seerah, as well as tried to use COMBATLOG after ChatFrame2 had no effect.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

My combat log does not hide when I join a group.

Well that's because the script Seerah provided you with isn't supposed to hide when you join a group, but when you engage in combat.

That link points to code that will show a frame in a raid. Just follow the directions on the page, noting the change to make it hide when not solo:

In each Panel set the OnLoad script

lua Code:
  1. self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
  2. self:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")
  3. self:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")

Then in each Panel OnEvent script:
lua Code:
  1. if GetNumPartyMembers() < 1 then
  2.     ChatFrame2:Show()
  3. else
  4.     ChatFrame2:Hide()
  5. end

Akryn, your code worked well for a 5man grp, my combat log hides when i join a 5man grp.

do you possibly know a way i could also make it hide when i join a raid grp?

the code provided by seerah's link doesn't make it hide on either event.

thanks.

Replace the first line with:

if GetNumPartyMembers() + GetNumRaidMembers() < 1 then

Perhaps you can edit your OnLoad code to do so, although I haven't tried it (I'm not really sure how the docking is implemented):

lua Code:
  1. self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
  2. self:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")
  3. self:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")
  4. local dummyF = function()end
  5. ChatFrame2.ClearAllPoints = dummyF
  6. ChatFrame2.SetPoint = dummyF
  7. ChatFrame2.SetHeight = dummyF
  8. ChatFrame2.SetWidth = dummyF
  9. ChatFrame2.SetAllPoints = dummyF

i used this script for my target panel, yet the target frame (not the panel its on) still shows even when im out of combat.

Show a panel based on being in combat

OnLoad

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

OnEvent

if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
self:Hide()
elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
self:Show()
end


anyone know a way to make it show only when in combat, as well as my player frame?

thanks
