The snippet thread

Hi all!
Basicly the same idea as the "post your UI" thread, but this one is for snippets! And I'll start with one, you post your own!

Hide a frame forever(very well known and simple but w/e):

lua Code:

local function hideframe(f)
    f.Show = function() end
    f:Hide()
end

That won't work. f.Show is already a nil value as they are defined in the frame's metatable. What you'll want to do is overwrite it with a dummy function or .Hide, but a dummy function is generally better as you won't run into any awkward taint issues.

WOOPS!

Did it out of me head, you are right, I meant function() end, but I accidently did it wrong
