Tooltip Repositioning and Returning

[crumsack]

Hello WoW Interface community, this is my first post here, so bear with me. To start off by saying, I did search for this topic and could not find one with my issue. Anyways, I am putting together my own UI and im using Bagnon in the process. One of the features I liked about TukUI is how he made the tooltip switch to the top of the bags frame when open and return back to default. I am trying to pull that same thing off but with Bagnon and SpartanUI. Im still a bit new to LUA so this is the place I thought I might give a go.

So far I have this:

hooksecurefunc(GameTooltip,"SetPoint",function(tooltip,point,parent,rpoint) -- fix GameTooltip offset
	if (point == "BOTTOMRIGHT" and parent == "UIParent" and rpoint == "BOTTOMRIGHT") then
		tooltip:ClearAllPoints();
		tooltip:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT","SpartanUI","TOPRIGHT",0,10);
	else
		tooltip:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT","BagnonFrameinventory","TOPRIGHT",0,10);
	end
end);

And it works, but when I close Bagnon, the tooltip stays where it was on top of bagnon and doesn't return.

Any of you peeps out there might beable to give me a hint?

Thanks.

Okay well, this code needs a little makeover.

First of all, while your hooking of the function is good in most cases, there is a better method to use in this case, namely hooking GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor. Secondly, you shouldn't look for which is the current point; you should set it regardless, and only change it if the bags are shown. Thirdly, your anchor name doesn't need any brackets around it. Which turns into something like this:

hooksecurefunc("GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor", function(self, parent)
	if BagnonFrameinventory:IsShown() then
		self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", BagnonFrameinventory, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
	else
		self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", SpartanUI, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
	end
end)

Also, make sure that the anchor's names are spelt correctly.

Thank you very much! I will test this and see if it works. And yes the "BagnonFrameinventory" is correct as thats what /framestack says about it when I mouseover it xD

Good, it just looked a little strange to me with the 'i' not being capitalised.

[crumsack]

Well it works like I want it too, but the only thing is it starts off in the default game position, when I open Bagnon, it goes to the top like I want, then returns to the top of SpartanUI like I want it. Just that starting point is not correct. Anything I need to add?

And yea, that bugged me too about the "i" thing. Might be a type on the Bagnon creators part.

I tried to add self:ClearAllPoints before both and I thought that might work but didn't.

Strange. Try this:

hooksecurefunc("GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor", function(self, parent)
	self:SetOwner(parent, "ANCHOR_NONE")
	if BagnonFrameinventory:IsShown() then
		self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", BagnonFrameinventory, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
	else
		self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", SpartanUI, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
	end
end)

Or this:

hooksecurefunc("GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor", function(self, parent)
	if BagnonFrameinventory:IsShown() then
		self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", BagnonFrameinventory, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
		return
	end
	self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", SpartanUI, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
end)

Woot! I figured it out Haha! (thats a first)
Nevrmind xD I screwd up, it makes me laggy xD

		hooksecurefunc(GameTooltip,"SetPoint", function(self, point, parent, rpoint)
			if (point == "BOTTOMRIGHT" and parent == "UIParent" and rpoint == "BOTTOMRIGHT") then
				self:ClearAllPoints();
				self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT","SpartanUI","TOPRIGHT",0,10);
			elseif BagnonFrameinventory:IsShown() then
				self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", BagnonFrameinventory, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
			else
				self:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", SpartanUI, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 10)
			end
		end)

I will try yours.

Well both those sorta work, but still do the same as before on your first post. I made it work with my technique, but when I hover over icons it makes me like glitchy xD


... so Im still stuck haha.

Not sure then, I'll leave it to someone else.
