SetTexture(path, false) = nil Value?

[braininblack]

Hi guys,

i want to use SetTexture on the my XML-Button-Template:

<!-- Template -->
<Button name="ToolbarButtonTemplate" virtual="true">
	<Size>
		<AbsDimension x="26" y="26" />
	</Size>
	<Layers>
		<Layer level="ARTWORK">
			<Texture name="$parentIcon">
				<Size>
					<AbsDimension x="20" y="20" />
				</Size>
				<Anchors>
					<Anchor point="CENTER" />
				</Anchors>
			</Texture>
		</Layer>
	</Layers>
	<Backdrop edgeFile="Interface\AddOns\MarkBar\tex\border.tga" tile="false">
		<EdgeSize>
			<AbsValue val="10" />
		</EdgeSize>
	</Backdrop>
	<Scripts>
		<OnLoad>
			MarkBar.MarkOnLoad(self);
		</OnLoad>
	</Scripts>
	<!-- Some More Scripts -->
</Button>

<!-- Button -->
<Button name="MarkBarMarkM1" inherits="ToolbarButtonTemplate" id="1">
	<Anchors>
		<Anchor point="TOPLEFT">
			<Offset>
				<AbsDimension x="186" y="-4"/>
			</Offset>
		</Anchor>
	</Anchors>
</Button>

OnLoad run this script:

function MarkBar.MarkOnLoad(self)
	local frame = self:GetName();
	local id = self:GetID();
	local icon = frame.."Icon";
	local path = "Interface\\AddOns\\MarkBar\\tex\\"..id..".tga";

	self:SetTexture(path, false);
end

And some other stuff, but have nothing to do with the SetTexture() stuff.


With this code, i getting a nil value for SetTexture(), even when i hardcode the path ("Interface\\AddOns\\MarkBar\\tex\1.tga"). Whats wrong with that?


Sry for the bad english. it´s a quite while since i used english for describing a problem

Button objects don't use SetTexture. You can probably get away with using self:SetNormalTexture('TexturePathHere'). There's no second argument to it, nor would you need one anyway if it's always going to be nil/false.

After some hours of research, i find a way to use SetTexture() on Buttons:

XML Template:

<!-- Template -->
<Button name="Template" virtual="true">
	<!-- other stuff -->
	<Layers>
		<Layer level="ARTWORK">
			<Texture parentKey="icon">
				<Size>
					<AbsDimension x="20" y="20" />
				</Size>
				<Anchors>
					<Anchor point="CENTER" />
				</Anchors>
			</Texture>
		</Layer>
	</Layers>
	<!-- more other stuff -->
</Button>

Just use the "parentKey" attribute instead of the "name" attribute.


Lua:

frame.icon:SetTexture(path);

Very simple
