| 23:12.58 | MiRai | I'd like to flip a border frame, but I don't know how, and SetTexCoord is erroring out and telling me that it's a nil value - https://pastebin.com/GdyXcFsZ |
| 23:13.32 | MiRai | I'd like to flip the top and bottom of the frame |
| 23:29.09 | Chipzz | MiRai: the :SetBackdrop* API does not allow such a thing because the edgeFile contains the parts of the border in a specific order: https://wow.gamepedia.com/EdgeFiles |
| 23:30.01 | Chipzz | you mention :SetTexCoord() but you don't show the code how you're using it, neither are you showing the exact error message |
| 23:31.16 | MiRai | Okay - That's not my code, so I'm just guessing based off of what's there, but... self.TargetBorder:SetTexCoord(0, 1, 1, 0) |
| 23:31.20 | MiRai | "attempt to call method 'SetTexCoord' (a nil value)" |
| 23:32.11 | Chipzz | WoW 9.0 will deprecate this API and use a mixin instead, maybe you should find the relevant mixin in the code and see how to do it https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-source/tree/beta |
| 23:32.16 | Chipzz | that makes total sense |
| 23:32.26 | *** join/#wowuidev Meorawr (~Meorawr@cpc157779-rdng31-2-0-cust890.15-3.cable.virginm.net) |
| 23:32.42 | Chipzz | :SetTextCoord is a Texture method; self.TargetBorder is a Frame |
| 23:33.02 | Chipzz | you can't call a Texture method on a Frame... |
| 23:33.28 | MiRai | I did stumble upon that in my Google searches, yet I've still not encountered how to flip the frame |
| 23:34.57 | MiRai | The extent of my Lua knowledge is, unfortunately, of a pre-Kindergarten level, which means I find the area I'm trying to adjust and just start changing values until I figure something out |
| 23:35.19 | MiRai | Then Google searches, and then this channel |
| 23:35.34 | MiRai | So, is there no way to flip the frame in the current API? |
| 23:35.50 | Chipzz | theoretically you could try reanchoring the Top and Bottom anchors (if these are used, and you're not anchoring the Frame by its Center anchor); realistically the rendering engine will probably ignore this misguided attempt and render the Frame in a way you didn't intend |
| 23:37.19 | Chipzz | the edge of a backdrop consists of 8 Texture regions; you could try iterating over the Frames' regions with :GetRegions(), try to identify which region corresponds to what part of the border, and mess with that |
| 23:37.25 | Chipzz | but that's error-prone |
| 23:38.11 | Chipzz | I would just try to find the new mixin though and see how things are done in there |
| 23:39.07 | Chipzz | and no, I do not know where exactly that mixin is located in the code; CrossHash mentioned that Backdrops would be gone in 9.0, but I'm not even sure that change has already happened and that new mixin exists already |
| 23:39.32 | Chipzz | my advice: do a git clone and use grep |
| 23:39.33 | Meorawr | It's in the SharedXML folder, Backdrop.{xml,lua} |
| 23:41.30 | Chipzz | but the answer to < MiRai> So, is there no way to flip the frame in the current API? >> is "No" |
| 23:42.45 | MiRai | Okay, that's all I was looking for, thanks. |
| 23:43.24 | Chipzz | but do note that there are other solutions to your real problem |
| 23:43.30 | Chipzz | x/y problem and all that |
| 23:43.56 | Chipzz | you have problem x and assume solution y (which does not exist) is the solution to your problem |
| 23:44.06 | Chipzz | solution z however does exist |
| 23:45.00 | MiRai | Right, but with very little Lua knowledge, looking at all that mixin stuff isn't much help, and I was just hoping for some small code to just flip the image in the TGA file |
| 23:45.17 | Chipzz | but if the only thing you want to hear is "Yes there is a way to flip a frame" (which it sounds like), you're in for a disappointment |
| 23:45.17 | MiRai | At this point, it's probably easier to just recreate the image in Photoshop, since that's where I know how to do things |
| 23:48.25 | Chipzz | I haven't looked at the mixin code but I can't imagine it being that complex really |
| 23:49.38 | MiRai | I don't know how else to explain that I don't know enough Lua to even make a simple frame, and I just hunt and peck at things until I get something working. |
| 23:49.53 | MiRai | So, trying to read a bunch of code that doesn't make sense to me, just doesn't make sense to me. |
| 23:50.27 | MiRai | Again, I was just hoping to ask the people who do know Lua, if there was a simple solution to the issue of: "I want to flip a frame." |
| 23:53.59 | Chipzz | 01:45 < Chipzz> but if the only thing you want to hear is "Yes there is a way to flip a frame" (which it sounds like), you're in for a disappointment |
| 23:55.10 | MiRai | I was responding to your statement: "I can't imagine it being that complex really." |
