Elite Boss Player Frame

[Fordragon]

Okay, I've been trying to edit an addon called Elite Player Frame v3, so that instead of causing the player frame to be elite, it becomes a boss frame. So far though, I've gotten nowhere. What must I do to add that little skull where the level number usually is?

You could try adding this to the .lua file.

If this needs tweaked, then the SetHeight / SetWidth 20 is the size of the skull. The offset either direction is the f:SetPoint part. You can adjust the 43 for the x coordinate or the -15.5 for the y coordiante. Hope this helps.


local f = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
f:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
f:SetWidth(20)
f:SetHeight(20)
local t = f:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND")
t:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-TargetingFrame-Skull")
t:SetAllPoints(f)
f.texture = t

f:SetPoint("LEFT","PlayerFrame", "LEFT", 43, -15.5)
f:Show()

What would the world do without nice people like you? =D I'll try that out.

[Fordragon]

=D Success!

Oh, dang, just realized. The level kinda peeks out around the edges. Is there a way to cover the level up without making the skull larger?

[Ravendwyr]

try:

PlayerFrameLevelText:Hide()

or

PlayerFrameLevelText:SetText("")




at least, I think PlayerFrameLevelText is the right one...

[Fordragon]

PlayerLevelText:Hide() works. Now I've been trying to hide the attack and rest icons too, but it will only work with one at a time. It won't hide both. How would I change this script so they both work?

f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() if PlayerAttackIcon:IsVisible() then PlayerAttackIcon:Hide() end end)
f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() if PlayerRestIcon:IsVisible() then PlayerResttIcon:Hide() end end)
PlayerLevelText:Hide()

[Seerah]

because you're replacing the first OnUpdate script with the second. Hide both in the same script.

[Fordragon]

Sorry, I know little more about all this than a caveman.
Is this what you mean?

f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() if PlayerAttackIcon:IsVisible() then PlayerAttackIcon:Hide() end end)function() if PlayerRestIcon:IsVisible() then PlayerResttIcon:Hide() end end)
PlayerLevelText:Hide()

[p3lim]

PlayerLevelText.Show = function() end
PlayerLevelText:Hide()

drycoded

[Fordragon]

I'm looking to hide the rest and attack icons, not level... I got that sorted out already.

Not quite.

f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function()
          if PlayerAttackIcon:IsVisible() then 
               PlayerAttackIcon:Hide()
          elseif PlayerRestIcon:IsVisible() then
               PlayerRestIcon:Hide()
          else
               return
          end
     end)
PlayerLevelText:Hide()

I will never know how you people learn this stuff... whatever, thanks!

[Fordragon]

Oh goodie; yet another problem. I'm trying to upload this mod onto the website now, but dunno what to do. I go to projects and then...?

[Selite]

Click on the "Upload & Update" button near the top of the screen. Then follow the step by step instructions.

[Fordragon]

Will do. .

[Fordragon]

Okay, now how do I give it a name that's not generic? And yes, I am in fact that stupid.

[Duugu]

"generic" means
addon.zip
mymod.zip
test.zip
image1.jpg
...

Choose a name like EliteBossPlayerFrame_1_0.zip

[Fordragon]

Got it. Thanks for the info.
