(LUA) Function to frame help please :)

[Ordush 184]

Didn't know what to call the topic honestly. Hope people understand. :)
 

Been trying to wrap my brain around this function for ages now. Anyone who can help me?

function CombatSpellsToggleButton(ability, position)
		local frameButton = "SettingsFrame."..ability.."btn"
		local frameDisabled = ability.."Disabled"

		frameButton = CreateFrame("BUTTON", nil, SettingsFrame, "UIPanelCloseButton")
		frameButton:SetWidth(16)
		frameButton:SetHeight(16)
		if frameDisabled then
			frameButton:SetNormalTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-PlusButton-Up")
			frameButton:SetPushedTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-PlusButton-Down")
		else
			frameButton:SetNormalTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-MinusButton-Up")
			frameButton:SetPushedTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-MinusButton-Down")
		end
		frameButton:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",SettingsFrame, -2,position) 
		frameButton:SetScript("OnClick", function() 
			if frameDisabled then 
				frameDisabled = false
				frameButton:SetNormalTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-MinusButton-Up")
				frameButton:SetPushedTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-MinusButton-Down")
			else 
				frameDisabled = true	
				frameButton:SetNormalTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-PlusButton-Up")
				frameButton:SetPushedTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-PlusButton-Down")
			end 
		end)
		frameButton:SetAlpha(1)
		frameButton:Show()
	end

	-- Settings Frame (Combat Spells) Hunter's Mark Toggle Button
	CombatSpellsToggleButton("HuntersMark", -86)

It does make the button, but the variable generated by frameDisabled does not work
So if i do
if HuntersMarkDisabled then
  do something
end
that something doesn't happen

Hello, i think you would like to also connect to C#? So you can use this:

        Lua.LuaDoString(@"
            if (GetCVar(""frameDisabled"") == nil) then
                RegisterCVar(""frameDisabled"", ""default"")
            end
            if (GetCVarBool(""frameDisabled"")) then
                 SetCVar(""frameDisabled"", 0 );
                 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(""enabled frame"");
            else
                 SetCVar( ""frameDisabled"", 1 );
                 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(""disabled frame"");
            end
        ");

After each call it will be changed. And the returned values can be used by a fightclass.

In lua just replace the double quote to one quote and add your code.

I've altered your second snippet, because it threw some errors:

            if (GetCVar("HuntersMarkDisabled") == nil) then
                RegisterCVar("HuntersMarkDisabled", "default")
            end
            if (GetCVarBool("HuntersMarkDisabled")) then
                 SetCVar("HuntersMarkDisabled", 0 );
                 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("enabled frame: HuntersMark");
            else
                 SetCVar( "HuntersMarkDisabled", 1 );
                 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("disabled frame: HuntersMark");
            end

But since you are using only lua, i think there's a better solution but lua is not my favorite language ;) Maybe someone else can other offer a better answer.

Yeah i had an end too many. =P
I removed my reply because i realized what you meant, however. what you did there was what i already did, i just didn't do it c#. So unfortunately it doesn't work. :(

I still haven't figured this out, so if anyone could be of assistance. It would be lovely! :)
