LUA: Hide unit frame out of combat

[tub]

Hi, I know it is not easy to make a LUA, but I need a LUA to make unit frame(Blizzard original frame,including :"Player","Target" and "Focus") fade out of combt.

[semlar]

This will keep the player, target and focus frames hidden while out of combat and show them when combat starts.

local f = CreateFrame('frame', nil, nil, 'SecureHandlerStateTemplate')
f:SetFrameRef('PlayerFrame', PlayerFrame)
f:SetFrameRef('TargetFrame', TargetFrame)
f:SetFrameRef('FocusFrame', FocusFrame)
f:SetAttribute('_onstate-combat', [=[ -- Securely toggle visibility in combat
    if newstate == 'show' then
        self:GetFrameRef('PlayerFrame'):Show()
        if UnitExists('target') then
            self:GetFrameRef('TargetFrame'):Show()
        end
        if UnitExists('focus') then
            self:GetFrameRef('FocusFrame'):Show()
        end
    else
        self:GetFrameRef('PlayerFrame'):Hide()
        self:GetFrameRef('TargetFrame'):Hide()
        self:GetFrameRef('FocusFrame'):Hide()
    end
]=])
RegisterStateDriver(f, 'combat', '[combat] show; hide')
 
local function HideFrame(self) -- Insecurely hide out of combat if shown
    if not InCombatLockdown() then self:Hide() end
end
PlayerFrame:HookScript('OnShow', HideFrame)
TargetFrame:HookScript('OnShow', HideFrame)
FocusFrame:HookScript('OnShow', HideFrame)

I tried to write it into my Addons , but It appeared "incompatible" what's wrong whith toc? Here is the TOC I
write
## Interface: 17930
## Title: iaddon
## Notes: fade ui
iaddon.lua

[semlar]

Change it to ## Interface: 50400 for the current version.

It works. It's amazing!! I can't believe it ! While the Rogue's combo point did't disappear with the frame

[semlar]

I think this should work for hiding the combo frame as well, for some reason it's not parented to the target frame.

local f = CreateFrame('frame', nil, nil, 'SecureHandlerStateTemplate')
f:SetFrameRef('PlayerFrame', PlayerFrame)
f:SetFrameRef('TargetFrame', TargetFrame)
f:SetFrameRef('FocusFrame', FocusFrame)
f:SetFrameRef('ComboFrame', ComboFrame)
f:SetAttribute('_onstate-combat', [=[ -- Securely toggle visibility in combat
    if newstate == 'show' then
        self:GetFrameRef('PlayerFrame'):Show()
        if UnitExists('target') then
            self:GetFrameRef('TargetFrame'):Show()
        end
        if UnitExists('focus') then
            self:GetFrameRef('FocusFrame'):Show()
        end
    else
        self:GetFrameRef('PlayerFrame'):Hide()
        self:GetFrameRef('TargetFrame'):Hide()
        self:GetFrameRef('FocusFrame'):Hide()
        self:GetFrameRef('ComboFrame'):Hide()
    end
]=])
RegisterStateDriver(f, 'combat', '[combat] show; hide')
 
local function HideFrame(self) -- Insecurely hide out of combat if shown
    if not InCombatLockdown() then self:Hide() end
end
PlayerFrame:HookScript('OnShow', HideFrame)
TargetFrame:HookScript('OnShow', HideFrame)
FocusFrame:HookScript('OnShow', HideFrame)
ComboFrame:HookScript('OnShow', HideFrame)
 
f:SetScript('OnEvent', function(self, event)
    if GetComboPoints('player', 'target') > 0 then -- Show ComboFrame upon entering combat if we have points
        ComboFrame:Show()
    end
end)
f:RegisterEvent('PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED')

thank so much! It's perfect.

This is another way to go:

RegisterStateDriver(PlayerFrame, "visibility", "[combat] show; hide")
RegisterStateDriver(TargetFrame, "visibility", "[combat,exists] show; hide")
RegisterStateDriver(ComboFrame, "visibility", "[combat,exists] show; hide")
RegisterStateDriver(FocusFrame, "visibility", "[@focus,combat,exists] show; hide")

[semlar]

Well sure, if you don't want to use 40 lines to do the same thing.

Does this require an Addon?.. or can I use it with the stock player frame?

You can use this code without any addons, you can even use your ingame chat to try it:
just type in chat: /run RegisterStateDriver(PlayerFrame, "visibility", "[combat] show; hide") and then hit enter, and then next line: /run RegisterStateDriver(TargetFrame, "visibility", "[combat,exists] show; hide") and so on...

Or you use can use AddOns generator to easily build an addon: http://addon.bool.no/ Paste code and hit "Create AddOn"

As well, i suggest you to add 2 more lines of code, to show unit frames when target selected:

RegisterStateDriver(TargetFrame, "visibility", "[target,exists] show; hide")
RegisterStateDriver(PlayerFrame, "visibility", "[target,exists] show; hide")

Only problem is that this code don't use fade animation. So i personally used for my UI here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFo3Bn919wA something that semlar suggested and added animation above. But i think it's possible to add animate to this method too.

Fading in would be easy -- you'd want to set the alpha to 0 in an OnShow script, then play an animation that transitioned the alpha to 1, then set the alpha to 1 in the animation's OnFinished script (otherwise it will revert to the original 0 alpha from before the animation played). Fading out, though, wouldn't be possible with this method.

Hey, sorry to post in old topic but this code is what i was looking for!
I want to see my health bar also when it's less than 100% and i want to know how you adjuste the length of the health bars just like in your video.
Maybe if it's possible, there is a way to change the numbers in the health bar? I mean it shows something like 20.2k/20.2k I was looking for something to just show the exact number: 20 291 (an example).

Sorry for my bad english! :/
