Making a frame for the castbar (Kgpanels)

[Tobbe8716]

K I've tried a bit to google this. I copied a script from wowace tho the frame didnt dissapear after it had finsished casting. Anybody able to help? I'm not very go at this just copy/paste mostly myself and maybe editing some.


This is what i tried

On Load

self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SENT")

On Event

if self.casting or self.channeling then
self:Show()
else
self:Hide()
end

And how?

Having the same issue.

Using the default Blizzard cast bar, or a mod?

I am using Quartz castbar at the moment, but the Quartz options don't allow border scaling. that's why I wanted to place a frame behind the quartz bar which will only whow while I or my target is casting.

Make a macro of the following:

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetName() );

Place your cursor over any UI frame or element and click this macro (or just paste it into your edit box) and the name of the frame or element will be printed to your chat frame. Use this name to anchor a kgPanels frame. (It's case-sensitive, so be careful about that.)

Sorry for the late response, had a meeting at work and couldn't respond earlier.

I "think" I tried that addon before, as well as trying to highlight the castbar frame with Fluidframe highlighting but it always responds with UIParent. I am not sure about it though.

I will try again and check later today when I am back home.

I always parented the panel to the Quartz bar and it worked fine.

If you're not using a cast bar mod, I think you're going to have problems.

[Aarokh]

I am using quartz, and when I over my mouse over the castbar while casting it only shows "Worldframe" in the chat.
This using your macro.

[Edit:]
Oh, I found the solution! the macro only shows the castbar name while you have the bars unfixed in the options so you can drag them around.

[Wella]

Yeah, locking/unlocking with some mods can cause issues. Glad you fixed that.
