kgPanels

Table of Contents

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels

OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.

if pressed then
  -- do mouse down actions
elseif released then
  -- do mouse up actions
end

This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.

Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial

Ive created an Example Texture Pack.

This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.

Alright so I finally got my grid script stuff working. And just decided to code the lua pet stuff by hand this way it will work consistently. You will need to figure out your own height values, and your own width values. These can be found by the following

(grid_dimention + 2*grid_border)*grid_scale + kgPanel_border*2 + extraspace

or you can just play with it and see what you think looks good. Right now it is set for Bati's Grid UI scaling with a little space around the edge if you use that.

OnLoad:

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_PET")
self:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED")

self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_NAME_UPDATE")
self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_PORTRAIT_UPDATE")

self:RegisterEvent("ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA")

OnEvent:

local pmems = GetNumPartyMembers()
local rmems = GetNumRaidMembers()
local height = 62.15
local pet = UnitExists("pet") or UnitExists("partypet1") or UnitExists("partypet2") or UnitExists("partypet3") or UnitExists("partypet4")

if rmems > 1 then
    self:SetWidth(443.95)
    self:Show()
elseif pmems < 1 then
   self:Hide()
   self:SetWidth(94.55)
elseif pmems == 1 then
    self:SetWidth(181.9)    
    self:Show()
elseif pmems == 2 then
    self:SetWidth(267.25)    
    self:Show()
elseif pmems == 3 then
    self:SetWidth(355.6)    
    self:Show()
elseif pmems == 4 then
    self:SetWidth(443.95)    
    self:Show()
end

if rmems < 5 and not pet then
    height = 62.15
elseif (rmems > 5 and rmems <= 10) or pet then
    height = 116.1
elseif (rmems > 10 and rmems <= 15) then
    height = 174.05
elseif (rmems > 15 and rmems <= 20) or (rmems <= 15 and pet) then
    height = 232
elseif (rmems > 20 and rmems <= 25) then
    height = 289.95
end   

self:SetHeight(height)

Seems to work perfect now. :) shows what happens at 5am.

You need to know the name of the frame, then you can do _G['name here'] or the name directly

Hey Kagaro,

What is the script command to check if a non KG panel frame exists? It is the last piece I need for a growing grid background, which I can posts once it fully works.

Cheers

New question. Is there a way to make a panel size relative to another addon panel? The case where I want to use it is to surround my Stance bar in Bartender. However the number of stance buttons changes based on the class I play. A Warrior / DK 3 and a Druid with 6.

Ok, so here's where I'm at and it's pretty sloppy. Nevermind the actual values as I'm in the middle of changing them at the moment. I've set a default value of 100 just for reference if things change down the road for other classes. But basically, you can see I've done Druid and Paladin and this is in fact changing the values. However, the result isn't scalable if I change my druid to use more stances, such as tree of life or Boomkin it wont adjust the size for that. I'm wondering if there's a way to get the button count in Bartender4 for "BT4BarStanceBar"

local _, class = UnitClass("player");
if class == "WARRIOR" then
self:SetWidth(100)
elseif class == "PRIEST" then
self:SetWidth(100)
elseif class == "MAGE" then
self:SetWidth(100)
elseif class == "DRUID" then
self:SetWidth(136)
elseif class == "PALADIN" then
self:SetWidth(200)
elseif class == "HUNTER" then
self:SetWidth(100)
elseif class == "ROGUE" then
self:SetWidth(100)
elseif class == "SHAMAN" then
self:SetWidth(100)
elseif class == "WARLOCK" then
self:SetWidth(100)
end

you can use % to size the panels... 110% of parent frame will size it based on parent

Probably a stupid question here, but I'm going to plow ahead anyway:

After several ui changes over the years, and always using someones uploaded art, I've decided to make my own. I've got some background textures that I really like but whenever I save them as TGA files and put them in my textures folder, when I pull them up in KGpanels, they always have a white background. I've created them in photoshop with a transparent background and saved them as such, but it always loads with the white.

Anyone able to point out my stupidity there, please?

Hello, I have been reading on a variety of forum and wiki posts that if I parent a panel to another Addon's UI element, such as an action bar, unitframe, cast bar, etc. the panel will use the parent's visibility to control the visibility of the frame. However, I have been completely unsuccessful in getting this to work. The addons I am specifically focusing on are Bartender4, ShadowedUnitFrames and Quartz. None of these addon's frames are controlling the visibility of the frames in Kg. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I am so close to finishing my newest UI.

I will more specifically reference the frames I am Parenting to. In all cases, the frames themselves are anchored on the correct position, just the visibility is not being controlled.

Quartz - Quartz3CastBarPlayer
Bartender4 - BT4BarPetBar
Shadowed UnitFrames - SUFUnittarget, SUFUnittargettarget

Found the answer to my own question while watching a YouTube video. I didn't realize the very specific differences between the Parent Frame and the Anchor Frame.

Was just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the border from one side of a panel? Well two sides actually, but you get the point.

Hi; new user to KG Panels and really thrilled with the possibilities; have a question about setting some frames up.

I want to tie a frame to some power auras, thus want to tie the frame to the settings of the Auras themselves so ideally:

Hide on combat / log in / Vehicle UI. Show on combat.

So far I have what I think is the correct script for show / hide for combat (I "think" because I just googled it down but not sure it's accurate.) :

if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then self:Hide()

elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then self:Show() end

So if that's right; just need the others. If you can send me to a directory where a collection of these scripts can be found it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks =D

I think I asked that some time ago, but I didn't get any answers :(
Is there any chance for my UI to get f*cked up when updating from 1.3.8 to 1.5.2?
'cause it took me about 5 hours to config and I don't want to repeat that :p

Backup your WTF and Interface folder in case something goes wrong.

I don't find how one could do a slide with my panels.

Description: When mouseover the panel change its width from its anchor and show a menu.
Action zone of the mouse OnEnter must stay sizing by the panel1 but OnLeave resized with the Panel2 (witch is larger).

Is it possible? How can I do that?

In the wiki entry on wowace it states:
"Panel Width & Panel Height textboxes: Here you can adjust the width and height of a panel (measured in pixels)."

But that doesn't seem to be true. A 100x100 panel actually measures 92x92 pixels. Is something wrong or is that by design?
