Spawning party/raid pets

[v6o]

Using Headers/SecureGroupPetHeaderTemplate units are shown but I keep geting "partypet# is not in your party." and so on.

Is this the wrong way to spawn?

[v6o]

Maybe I should rephrase it.


How do I spawn party- and/or raid pet frames?

This post should explain it. There's also a discussion following on possible issues you might encounter.

Still having the same problem with "Partypet# is not in your party."

local party = oUF:Spawn('header', 'oUF_Party')
party:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 'TOPLEFT', 30, -30)
party:SetAttribute('showParty', true)
party:SetAttribute('yOffset', -3)
party:SetAttribute('template', 'oUF_zParty')
party:Show()

Most likely an issue with something else in your layout. I can't re-create it at least, and no-one else have reported a similar issue.

Found the the function that was outputting the error/warning "Partypet# is not in your party".
Thanks for help Haste, much appreciated.

Edit: Yeah, I just wrote thank you for the help at first because I solved the other part.

Did you remember to put the XML file in your toc?

[haste]

It's already solved.

[v6o]

About the inherited Range Alpha on partypets, looked through the thread but I didn't find an solution and when I re-parent I get errors from range.lua:29 Usage: UnitIsConnected("unit")

[haste]

You can't re-parent the frames spawned through the header, as they use the unit on the parent frame as a base for their own unit. The only way around that would be to manually spawn all the party pets/targets and handle the positioning yourself.

I thought as much, just wanted confirmation.
