Heya!

I just had an idea of something i would like in my layout, but i don't know if its even possible.

I would love if it was possible to be able to have Tsulong show as a unit on my raidframe when he goes friendly/day phase.

Thanks for any info if it's possible !

From a dev POV, doesn't all bosses use the "arena" units? If not, then you must use focus to implement this feature, having the user manually focus for you, then filtering showing/hiding the unit based on hostility. I guess it can be done.

In theory you could spawn any frame as another one.

For example

Code:

oUF_Boss1:Show(); oUF_Boss1.Hide = function() end oUF_Boss1.unit = "player"

will spawn the player frame as boss frame one. I'm using this for testing purposes.

Which means you could probably spawn a frame when you encounter said boss via targeting him or through whatever condition seems reasonable. You should be able to spawn it as (another) boss frame that looks and matches the appearance and position of your raidframes.

@Vlad
I suppose you know it, but just in case, there's a difference between boss and arena frames/units. They spawn separately.

I dunno, Dawn. Last/first time I did Blackwing Descent, Nefarian and Onyxia used the "arena1" and "arena2" units, and appear on the right side under the minimap, just like arena units appear usually.

Maybe "boss#" and "arena#" are the same thing. :P

I only know that I can spawn both and they are different. I'll pay some attention to what's what next time I see them.
