Coding Unit Frames help.

[sirann]

So I basically am the equivalent of a parrot when it comes to scripting, I can mimic what I see, but really have no idea how to actually create code.

I wrote this:
http://lua.pastebin.com/NVyb5zpv

It's currently only the player frame of a hopefully very, very lightweight and efficient set of frames.

Currently everything's working as I want it to, with the exception of getting tooltips on mouseover, as well as the ability to interact with the frame, ie, click it to target myself, or right click it to pull up the player frame (reset isntances, set dungeon difficulty etc)

I'm sure the code is inefficient, it seems like it's overly complicated at parts, so any advice on code clean up as well as the two requests I had would be fantastic.


Thanks in advance.

This will do what you want:

SecureUnitButton_OnLoad(MyPlayerFrame, "player", function()
 ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, PlayerFrameDropDown, "cursor")
end)

For the tooltip to show, you will also need something like

MyPlayerFrame:SetScript("OnEnter", function()
 GameTooltip:SetUnit("player")
end)

Hope that helps!

edit: You need to create a secure frame for this to work.

local MyPlayerFrame = CreateFrame("Button", nil, UIParent, "SecureUnitButtonTemplate")
