Change some blizzard events

[Mock]

Hallo,

Playing around with an oUF layout here, specifically the eclipse bar. Trying to use the blizzard power text fontstring but having some problems. Got this so far:

			EclipseBarFrame:SetParent(oUF_Neav_Player)
			EclipseBarFrame:SetScale(config.units.player.scale * 0.82)
			EclipseBar_OnLoad(EclipseBarFrame)
			EclipseBarFrame:ClearAllPoints()
			EclipseBarFrame:SetPoint('TOP', oUF_Neav_Player, 'BOTTOM', 30, 2)
			EclipseBarFrame:Show()
			
			EclipseBarFrame.powerText:SetParent(EclipseBarFrame)
           		EclipseBarFrame.powerText:SetFont(config.font.normal, 10)
			EclipseBarFrame.powerText:ClearAllPoints()
			EclipseBarFrame.powerText:Show()
		        EclipseBarFrame.powerText:SetShadowOffset(1, -1)
		        EclipseBarFrame.powerText:SetPoint('CENTER', EclipseBarFrame, 0, 0.5)

Everything is working good except i want the text to always be shown, now it's only on mouseover. So I'm asking for a way to modify it to the text always shown, maybe unregister something for.. yeah you catch my drift. Anyone know a cheap way in doing this? Here's my sources:

Thanks for any help

Try:

EclipseBarFrame.powerText.Hide = function() end

Or in case they use SetAlpha:

EclipseBarFrame.powerText:SetAlpha(1)
EclipseBarFrame.powerText.SetAlpha = function() end

Mind you, you can just get rid of the default eclipse bar and use the oUF element to make your own.

Thanks, gonna try it when I got some time. But just curious, this changes the specific function to do nothing if I'm right?

Yes. That's the simplest way to ensure that something is always shown. You will probably also want to call blah:Show() on it to make sure it's shown at the same time you disable its Hide method.

[Haleth]

Yes, don't forget the Show() method too, I didn't include that since it was in your code already.

Thanks guys, works like a charm now. I decided to just modify the standard blizzard since most of it fits pretty nicely, and if I'm not mistaken it's lighter that way. Not that it matters but one cycle here and one cycle thereadds up

[Haleth]

It's indeed lighter, and yes it'll make no difference but like you said, if you use that reasoning every time then you will end up with pretty long load times
