Sorry for the double post, but
new SS here
what you've done is a common mistake new UI designers(fancy word eh) tend to do, which is trying to make everything look symmetrical.
don't get me wrong, symmetry is good, but when you try to make each and every element of your UI into "one big pile of symmetry". if you look at more successful designers, there's nearly never a big pile of things, they're spread out.
That is true: I do like me symmetry :P I'll see if I can break the habit eventually, but right now it's a major hangup.
and besides the fact that your unit frames are unecessarily huge, you're using way too many buttons. fill them up when you
need
them. people might bash you for having buttons in disorder but if you ask me, having unending breath on a whole bar is worse.
Sorry, I mentioned in an earlier post, and probably should've reiterated it here; the bar full of unending breath is currently a placeholder for class specific stuff, like pet controls for my lock, or shapeshifting for druids. I was just waiting to finalise the actual UI portion before working on macrofication. (That and unending breath = UBAR DEEEPS! :P)
I would give you a +1 for the concept, but it's coldkil's really so doing that would just bring injustice towards him.
Yep, I'm just a big ol' UI concept thief :P

I think you've got anger management issues.

working on my druid (^&*! druids and their forms) and i'm trying to set the combo bar visible only when in cat form. after some time i reached this:
local form = GetShapeshiftFormID()
combobar:RegisterEvent('UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_FORM')
combobar:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self)
if class == 'DRUID' and form ~= CAT_FORM then
self:Hide()
else
self:Show()
end
end)
how it works? just doesn't update ingame. if i /reload ui in different forms all goes perfectly (cat visible, other forms not visible) but when i change form in game it stays show/hidden depending in which form i was before reloading.
Sup man, long time no "see". Anyways, I'm slowly coming back to WoW, and so starting with making my UI so naturally I'm browsing this thread, and stumbled upon this. Not sure if you're still having this problem, but I'm bored enough to throw in my 2 cents. I have next to no experience in lua, but I'm a CS major so I'm not
totally
clueless =p. The only two explanations I can come up with is 1. Your form variable is not updating (Maybe it's outside of the function or something, I have no idea) or 2. This function is not being called when you swap forms, and only after you reload everything.
For the first explanation, I would try swapping form ~= CAT_FORMtoGetShapeshiftFormID() ~= CAT_FORM
(Also, what's up with the ~= instead of ==? lua is weird =p)
I'm not sure how to solve the second explanation because I don't know how bartender works =/. But if it isn't already set up to call this function upon shapeshift, then you'd have to add that somewhere. "combobar:RegisterEvent('UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_FORM')" looks like it's calling it upon shapeshift though, so that's probably not the problem (I don't know lua well enough to know exactly what that's doing =p). But if it is calling the function right there, then setting your local variable above it might indeed be why it isn't updating.
I'll probably post up some screenshots of my amateur UI work soonish to get some critiques/advice, so look forward to tearing it apart =p.
Why change it? He's already declared form to be a variable that holds GetShapeshiftFormID() and simply calls it. It'd change nothing.
~= means the opposite of ==. So, he's trying to do something if he's not in cat form.
Don't call OnUpdate if you want it to update on an event.
local form = GetShapeshiftFormID()
combobar:RegisterEvent('UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_FORM')
combobar:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self)
if class == 'DRUID' and form ~= CAT_FORM then
self:Hide()
else
self:Show()
end
end)
I assume you have a variable somewhere else in your code called "class"?

You need to update the form variable. The variable saves what is returned from GetShapeshiftFormID(), not the function itself.
This is true, and I missed that earlier so the poster above my previous post was correct. Sorry about that.

Me again! I got bored of the square UF's pretty quickly, so did
another remake
.
Actionbars are either hidden until mouseovered, or shown at 50% opacity, depending on whether I'm playing a main or an alt. Cooldown bar also vanishes when not in use, and I've just noticed the macaroon button on my minimap-- *clickity-clickity* --which is now no longer there. Just trying to work out what to do with party/raid frames, and trying to find a decent way to sort out buffs, and I should be happy til I get cata and reach 85 :P
