Help Needed....

[Ferous]

I need help! Only if you want though :P Otherwise, I'm sure I'll figure it out. I just got this little minimap working, and now it doesn't show anything all of a sudden, there was no change in code or anything like that, That I could remember, but for some reason the minimap ain't showing no more, and all I see is the tracking icon in the upper right corner of my screen. It was working great! It really was! I Got it working, slash command to move, everything! I was so happy! But, now, it ain't plainly showing, and I am not receiving any errors, and I also can still use the slash command, and I'm still getting feedback in the chat frame. Any help is appreciated and for some reason, I can't figure it out >.>

here is a pastie of it, and again, thank you for looking and i'm hoping I can figure it out :P

Only had a quick glance but this is your line 55 and 56:

Minimap:ClearAllPoints()
Minimap.SetPoint = function() end

..and then at 130-134 you do:

Minimap:SetScale(scale)
Minimap:SetFrameStrata("MEDIUM")
Minimap:ClearAllPoints()
Minimap:SetPoint(pos, UIParent, x, y)

You first nil :SetPoint() and then try to use it later.

Maybe that's it?

I never notice the little things! Thank you, I will see if that works.

edit - And it works! I will use this bit of help for reference next time I'm stuck Thank you again Screenie below, to show it off :P I plan to add some really cool skins made from scratch through ps :3

i don't want to make a new thread, so I will post here since I just made this yesterday. I have my setscale slash command working fine, however its sort of long and was wondering if there was a math shortcut I could use? lol Thanks for any replies and your consideration :P

Code: http://pastie.org/977299

I know, its scary :P But it works! Lol, I was just curious if there is a 'math' way of doing it easier? Thanks again.

two

local Scales = {
    ["768"] = 1,
    ["800"] = 0.96,
    ["864"] = 0.88888888888888,
    ["900"] = 0.85333333333333,
    ["960"] = 0.8,
    ["1024"] = 0.75,
    ["1050"] = 0.73142857142857,
    ["1080"] = 0.71111111111111,
    ["1200"] = 0.64,
}
function cSettings:PLAYER_LOGIN()
    if(not cSettingsDB.UIScale) then return end
    local _, height = string.match((({GetScreenResolutions()})[GetCurrentResolution()] or ""), "(%d+).-(%d+)")
    if(height and Scales[height]) then
        SetCVar("useUiScale", 1)
        SetCVar("uiScale", Scales[height])
    else
        SetCVar("useUiScale", 0)
        if(tonumber(height)>768) then
            print("Your resolution is not yet supported, disabling UI Scale.")
        end
    end
end

or

local autoscaling = true
local ufscale = 1

if autoscaling == true then
if GetCVar("UseUIScale") == "1" then
ufscale = (768/string.match(({GetScreenResolutions()})[GetCurrentResolution()], "%d+x(%d+)"))/GetCVar("UIScale")
end 
end

these are what i do.

I'm not trying to do UI scale though I'm just trying to make it easier to scale the minimap, not UI :P

if your like me you want things to be clean when coding.
im sure there is a simpler or less code, but is this what you wanted?

local scale = 1
SetScale(scale)

[Seerah]

Minimap:SetScale(tonumber(cmd))

lawl awesome I KNEW it was tonumber but when I tried it, I must have wrote it wrong, and ... yeah Thank you seerah.

Also, I hate you Emberstorm!

I wanted what seerah said, I knew it was something like that :P But thank you for your help, it is appreciated.

i guess i overthought it ::P

[Ferous]

awesome lol that huge code went down to:

SLASH_MYSCRIPT1 = "/scale";
SLASH_MYSCRIPT2 = "/mmscale";
SlashCmdList["MYSCRIPT"] = function(cmd)
	Minimap:SetScale(tonumber(cmd))
end

That's why I get paid the big bucks. hehe
