WatchFrame Position

[evilbib]

Hi,

I tried to reposition the WatchFrame without losing the position "autoupdate" if the Sidebars are enabled.
My goal was to change the default position (without sidebars) -50 vertically and if I tick on sidebars the WatchFrame moves a bit to the left.

This is all I got since I am pretty new to this.

WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, -50)

MultiBarRight:SetScript("OnUpdate", function()
	WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
	WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -25, -50)
end)

MultiBarLeft:SetScript("OnUpdate", function()
	WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
	WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -100, -50)
end)

This doesn't work though. The position is only correct if I have both sidebars enabled.

You could anchor the watchframe to the sidebar instead of the minimap.
Like

WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", <sidebarframename whatever it is>, "TOPLEFT")

He want it's position to depends on two frame like this:

if WatchFrame_Update then
    hooksecurefunc("WatchFrame_Update", function(self)
        if MultiBarRight:IsShown() and MultiBarLeft:IsShown() then
            WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
            WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -100, -50)
        elseif MultiBarRight:IsShown() then
            WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
            WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -25, -50)
        else
            WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
            WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, -50)
        end
    end)
end

The problem is these two lines dont do anything it doesn't matter where I anchor them

Because the WatchFrame_Update overrides it's values on each update, you gonna need to hook that function.

They are re-anchoring the watchframe? I'm wondering what this could be good for.

Thanks but this doesn't work if I change the sidebars; the position resets. With a reload I can fix it but that was something I wanted to avoid.

They also use something similar function to prevent the WatchFrame to be overridden, by action bars and other game elements.

Okay how about this?

local setting
hooksecurefunc(WatchFrame, "SetPoint", function(self)
    if not setting then
        setting = true
        if MultiBarRight:IsShown() and MultiBarLeft:IsShown() then
            self:ClearAllPoints()
            self:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -100, -50)
        elseif MultiBarRight:IsShown() then
            self:ClearAllPoints()
            self:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -25, -50)
        else
            self:ClearAllPoints()
            self:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", MinimapCluster, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, -50)
        end
        setting = nil
    end
end)

Thank you very much works like a charm

edit:
The height needs to be set too or else it only shows 2 quests.

 self:SetHeight(UIParent:GetHeight() - 250)
