Hot Spots Mal/Abrax

[Grimsin]

okay so in both mal and abra's Mazzle look a likes have hot spots. Mal has them for the menu bar, bar bar and a context menu. Abrax's UI has the ones around the target window. How can we go about getting both in there? lol also is it possible to make a button that is clickable but invisible like the orig hot spots but useing macaroon? or any other mod? there must be im guessing that mazzle used macros just like mal did for his. so how do we go about that?

KGpanels and scripts will work

What would the KGpanel scripts be for the /whisper, /trade, /follow, /inspect hotspots? I've been wondering about that actually.

[Grimsin]

look at the post about the target cave load lag. the script for those was posted i n there. i havnt used those ones but there supposed to be better then the ones that im currently using anyhow so i would try to use those ones first.

[groove]

No, those aren't the scripts I'm looking for. Those scripts show how to get the hotbuttons to simply APPEAR using kgpanels. I'm asking for the script that you assign to a hotbutton panel, so that when you click that panel, it initiates a /whisper, or /trade. See?

[malathar]

Place these in the OnClick section of their respective panels.

Follow:
FollowUnit("target")

Inspect:
InspectUnit("target")

Whisper:
local name, realm = UnitName("target");
if(realm) then
ChatFrame_SendTell(name.."-"..realm);
else
ChatFrame_SendTell(name)
end

Trade:
InitiateTrade("target")

Aha, that is exactly what I was looking for, ty

What textures do you guys use for those hotspots ?

[erogroth]

I am trying to figure out a script for the onclick to remove hide and unhide the bag and main menu bars. Racking my brain with no luck. Any help?

[malathar]

If you're using dominos then its

Dominos:ToggleFrames("menu")
Dominos:ToggleFrames("bags")

I think those are right, can't log into wow to check atm.

If you're using Macaroon. Then you won't be able to toggle them with a script. You'll need to make a macro because there is only a slash command to toggle them.

/mac hidden barname (barname being case sensitive.)

[erogroth]

I am using Macaroon and I did make a macro but I don't know how to execute the macro in kgpanels. What what I put in the onclick to make the macro run?

With macaroon, I believe you don't actually need to insert into Kgpanels. You make single button bars that 'act' as hotspots. If I could log into game, I'd take a screen shot or 3 of the process. In short, just use hidden buttons with a /follow macro, /whisper macro (or /tt [tell target] if you have a chat mod that supports it).. etc.

[Grimsin]

actually you can do it two ways either useing kg panels and macros or useing macaroon. each one gives you some slightly dif abilitys with the buttons so it dpends what you want to do but.... i have the hot buttons around the target cave on kg and the bag and menu bar hot spots and the context menu are hooked to macaroon.

[Grimsin]

what would be the code for a focus button done the same way we did all the others?

[Grimsin]

Huh i know this is an old thread but some good info and i have more info to add to it. There is a bit of script that will open/close macaroon bagbar/menubar

its not small.... lol. Unfortunately i have not found a parent frame other then a frame that handles more then the frames we want to hide so each button has to be hidden.

This may not work in KGpanels i have not tried it. But theoretically this or something VERY similar should work.

Here's the same script, condensed:

for i = 1, 5 do
        local bag_btn = _G["MacaroonBagButton"..i]
        if bag_btn:IsVisible() then
                bag_btn:Hide()
        else
                bag_btn:Show()
        end
end

for i = 1, 11 do
        local menu_btn = _G["MacaroonMenuButton"..i]
        if menu_btn:IsVisible() then
                menu_btn:Hide()
        else
                menu_btn:Show()
        end
end

I knew there had to be a shorter way! Thanks!
