How to permanently hide some frame?

[atuin_wow]

Hello everybody!
Can some one help me with hiding 1 default frame (with its textures) - MonkHarmonyBar?
Im trying to do this with only 1 event -- PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD

local maxLight = UnitPowerMax("player", SPELL_POWER_CHI )
local stogChiBar = CreateFrame("Frame","stogChiBarFrame", UIParent)
stogChiBar:SetSize(1, 10)
stogChiBar:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, 100)

stogChiBar:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
stogChiBar:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
 local kids = { MonkHarmonyBar:GetChildren() }
for _, child in ipairs(kids) do
   child:SetParent(stogChiBar)
   child:SetScript("OnEnter", function() return; end)
   child:EnableMouse(false)
end
			
if ( maxLight == 4) then
   MonkHarmonyBarLightEnergy1:SetPoint("LEFT",-43,1)
else
   MonkHarmonyBarLightEnergy1:SetPoint("LEFT",-46,1)
end
MonkHarmonyBar:Hide() --> THAT FRAME I WANT HIDE CONSTANTLY
end )

This code work fine, but SOMETIMES this MonkHarmonyBar frame (with its textures) appear below PlayerFrame. I can fix it with /reload command, but this is not cool =)
Is there any way, how to hide this frame constantly with only 1 event? =)

MonkHarmonyBar:HookScript('OnShow', MonkHarmonyBar.Hide)

Should rather use :UnregisterAllEvents() if you want to stop it, but I guess not in this case as he's using the children.

None of the monk harmony bar's children have any events registered on them, so I don't really know what you're doing there. You also don't need to wait for any events, since all of the FrameXML code gets loaded and run before any addons are loaded.

MonkHarmonyBar:UnregisterAllEvents()
MonkHarmonyBar:HookScript("OnShow", MonkHarmonyBar.Hide)
MonkHarmonyBar:Hide()

Hi and Thx You!
With my tiny addon i just want to move 4-5 "dots" from its parent "MonkHarmonyBar" to "work" in other place on my screen and hide "MonkHarmonyBar" under Player Frame.
Not sure, but if i do "MonkHarmonyBar:Hide()" before i changed its childrens to other frame, they will also be hidden. Am i right?
Im new in LUA and dont know yet short ways =)

If you just want to show the orb icons somewhere else, I'd recommend you do this instead of what you're currently doing (and also instead of what I previously posted):

-- 1. Detach the chi frame from the default player frame:
MonkHarmonyBar:SetParent(UIParent)
 
-- 2. Move the chi frame somewhere else:
MonkHarmonyBar:ClearAllPoints()
MonkHarmonyBar:SetPoint("BOTTOM", UIParent, "CENTER", 100, 100)
 
-- 3. Hide the background textures on the chi frame:
for i = 1, MonkHarmonyBar:GetNumRegions() do
    select(i, MonkHarmonyBar:GetRegions()):SetTexture("")
end

With this method there's no need to handle any events or do any updates yourself; you can just let the original Blizzard code manage all that.
