Addon causing UI elements to turn transparent

[Joker119]

So this is a new bug that popped up with the legion pre-patch.
Before the pre-patch everything worked peachy and perfect. Now, not so much.

I have an addon that replaces the player frame with health and power orbs. (diablo 3 style).
I also have a neat little animation option that puts one of a number of choosable animations ontop of the standard orb texture, to give alot more flavor and customizability to it.

Unfortunately, for some reason as of 7.0.3, whenever the UI is reloaded (through /reload or zone change) if the orb displaying an animation is not 100% full, it glitches the UI, turning basically everything transparent (see screenshot) aside from the addon's artwork and the primary actionbar.

Also the animation of the orbs doesn't appear to "unfill" properly when the orb is depleted, not sure if this issue is related or not.

Any ideas what could cause such a bug? And what I might do to fix it other than removing or recoding the animations completely?
I'd much rather patch the existing code than have to rewrite it all due to time constraints between work and school.

If you want help writing, changing, fixing, debugging, or doing anything else with code, please post the entire, actual code you are working with.

This code in core/panel.lua clearly indicates there are animations:

  panel.updateHealthOrbGalaxiesAlpha = function()
    if ns.HealthOrb.galaxies then
      local alpha = panel.loadHealthOrbGalaxiesAlpha() or 0
      for i, galaxy in pairs(ns.HealthOrb.galaxies) do
        if galaxy.ag:IsPlaying() and alpha == 0 then
          galaxy.ag:Stop()
        elseif not galaxy.ag:IsPlaying() and alpha > 0 then
          galaxy.ag:Play()
        end
        galaxy:SetAlpha(alpha)
      end
    end
  end

...but they aren't created anywhere in any files in that repository. Where is the code for that?

In the panel.lua file the animations are refered to as "model", the galaxy is a second 'model' independent from the main animation model.
Orb animation model creation is handled in the oUF_Diablo/units/player.lua

https://github.com/galaxy119/Diablo-...layer.lua#L270

--orb model
    local model = CreateFrame("PlayerModel","$parentModel",scrollChild)
    model:SetSize(orb:GetSize())
    model:SetPoint("TOP")
    --model:SetBackdrop(cfg.backdrop)
    model:SetAlpha(orbcfg.model.alpha or 1)
 
    --update model func
    function model:Update()
      local cfg = db.char[self.type].model
      self:SetCamDistanceScale(cfg.camDistanceScale)
      self:SetPosition(0,cfg.pos_x,cfg.pos_y)
      self:SetRotation(cfg.rotation)
      self:SetPortraitZoom(cfg.portraitZoom)
      self:ClearModel()
      --self:SetModel("interface\\buttons\\talktomequestionmark.m2") --in case setdisplayinfo fails
      self:SetDisplayInfo(cfg.displayInfo)
    end
    model.type = orb.type
    model:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self) self:Update() end)
    model:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
    model:SetScript("OnShow", function(self) self:Update() end)
    model:Update()
    orb.model = model

This is literally my version of Roth UI.
Like, literally mine.
Zork handed over permission for me to make my own since he is abandoning it in Legion.

I've fixed all the other issues except for this and the Nameplates.

My apologies, I didn't notice the name. Only the gigantic, bold note at the top. (Kinda draws the attention away from anything else. )

Also, note my note in your other thread about getting things transferred.

Kinda the point of the note :P ahaha

I'll talk to zork and see if he'd be willing to do that or not. Thanks, I didn't know.

But where is ".ag" assigned? If you can access "galaxy.ag" to call :Play() on it, then that "ag" must be assigned somewhere. Even if it's assigned as "nyancatsandbacon.ag" instead of "galaxy.ag" that won't matter -- "ag" would still appear in the code, but it doesn't, and that's the code I want to see.

The galaxies are outdated, and no longer used. I simply haven't gotten around to removing all of the code, and instead commented it out. I DID remove the function creating the galaxy.ag; which is this:

--create galaxy func
  local createGalaxy = function(frame,type,x,y,size,duration,texture,sublevel)
    local t = frame:CreateTexture(nil, "MEDIUM", nil, sublevel)
    t:SetSize(size,size)
    t:SetPoint("CENTER",x,y)
    t:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\oUF_Diablo\\media\\"..texture)
    t:SetBlendMode("ADD")
    t.ag = t:CreateAnimationGroup()
    t.ag.anim = t.ag:CreateAnimation("Rotation")
    t.ag.anim:SetDegrees(360)
    t.ag.anim:SetDuration(duration)
    t.ag:Play()
    t.ag:SetLooping("REPEAT")
    return t
  end

I removed the galaxy code above because even with animations disabled, the galaxies (not being included in the animations settings) were still causing the bug in question. I removed galaxies, and disabling animations now works to stop the bug, but the animations themselves still cause it.



EDIT: I went through and removed all of the outdated 'galaxies' code.
Enabling orb animations still causes the bug.
