Looking for help with a new addon
Disclaimer - I do not consider myself a coder or programmer, i am trying to learn as i go. hence i really do not know what i am doing.

That being said. I am attempting to make a plugin for Aurora and AtlasLoot. Mostly by following examples of other authors plugins.

I am under the impression that every part of these type of addons are "Hooking?" the origional addon to change the appearance.

Anywho, at this point i am 75% done with this addon, how ever i cannot for the life of me figure out how to hook? AtlasLoots drop downs at the top of the frame. They are "Local" functions, so my over used hooksecurefunction's throw errors, or do nothing at all in my quest to change the appearance.

The frame name is AtlasLoot-DropDown-CatFrame1 or 2

Currently i have tried
Lua Code:
  1. local ft = _G["AtlasLoot".."-".."DropDown".."-".."CatFrame1"] 
  2.  local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, ft)
  3.              bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT")
  4.              bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT")
  5.              bg:SetFrameLevel(ft:GetFrameLevel()-1)
  6.              F.CreateBD(bg, .25)

This results in the following error
Lua Code:
  1. 1x Aurora_AtlasLoot\core.lua:213: attempt to index local 'ft' (a nil value)
  2. Aurora_AtlasLoot\core.lua:213: in function <Aurora_AtlasLoot\core.lua:7>
  3.  
  4. Locals:

I have also tried countless variations of
Lua Code:
  1. hooksecurefunc(AtlasLoot.GUI, "loadModule", function()
  2. local ft = _G["AtlasLoot".."-".."DropDown".."-".."CatFrame1"] 
  3.  local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, ft)
  4.              bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT")
  5.              bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT")
  6.              bg:SetFrameLevel(ft:GetFrameLevel()-1)
  7.              F.CreateBD(bg, .25)
  8.              
  9.              ft:DisableDrawLayer("BACKGROUND")
  10.              ft:DisableDrawLayer("BORDER")
  11. end)         
  12.  
  13. end)

So here is where i am at with my current code ( i know its fugly)
Lua Code:
  1. if not IsAddOnLoaded("FreeUI") and not IsAddOnLoaded("Aurora") then return end
  2.  
  3. local F, C = unpack(Aurora)
  4.  
  5. local f = CreateFrame('Frame')
  6. f:RegisterEvent('ADDON_LOADED')
  7. f:SetScript('OnEvent', function(self, event, addon)
  8.     if addon == 'AtlasLoot' then return end
  9.     self:UnregisterEvent('ADDON_LOADED')    
  10.  
  11.      local r, g, b = C.r, C.g, C.b
  12.  
  13.      local af = _G["AtlasLoot_GUI".."-".."Frame"]
  14.      local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, af)
  15.          bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT")
  16.          bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT")
  17.          bg:SetFrameLevel(af:GetFrameLevel()-1)
  18.          F.CreateBD(bg)
  19.     
  20.          af:DisableDrawLayer("BACKGROUND")

Here is the code from AtlasLoot Template_Dropdown.lua that has the frame i am after.
Lua Code:

  58.         else
  59.             frame:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
  60.         end
  61.         
  62.         for i = 1, #catTab do

  80.         wipe(Button_Id_List)
  81.         if LIST_IS_OPEN or clear then
  82.             ClearFrameContainer()
  83.             if LIST_IS_OPEN == dropdown or clear then
  84.                 LIST_IS_OPEN = nil
  85.                 return
  86.             end
  87.         end
  88.  
  89.         LIST_IS_OPEN = dropdown
  90.         for i = 1, #dropdown.data do
  91.             CreateCategory(dropdown, dropdown.data[i], i)
  92.         end
  93.     end
  94. end

so yeah .. im stuck. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
