Anchor to players unit frame rather than the party frame of the player

[velvet wolf]

As you can see when I try and anchor something to 'Unit Frames' in position settings and have a trigger for the Players health, it is anchoring to my players party frame and not my player unit frame:

https://wago.io/fXgtjV_13

I know I can anchor this to a specific frame and select that frame but I was hoping this WA could be a little more universal than just working with SUF.

Ok possibly beyond the scope of this discord but why can I not call

SUFUnitplayer.healthBar.GetHeight()

Even if I provide a bool arg it says the argument is bad but the wowpedia docs suggest that a bool is what is needed.

Eeh, remember someone asked the same question here but it was some months ago, i think you can just do

    return SUFUnitplayer or "NameOfElvuiframe" or PlayerFrame
end```

If PlayerFrame is the name of blizzards playerframe ^^

And where do I return this from btw?

Anchor to -> Custom

ty tyt y!

I think there was some issue about the frames perhaps not existing upon login or smth but give it a try

[velvet wolf]

Can I access the anchored to frame in any way from an init function for example? to set the position and size of the weakaura based on the dimensions of the anchored to frame

aura_env.anchoredFrame for example or something along those lines, does that exist?

ik how to use this, should be able to find it

gl gl!

[velvet wolf]

thanks 😄

bit of a mouthful

I think Suf changes the width of the healthbar when the hp changes and doesnt use SetValue, while the width of the sufplayerframe stays static (so when taking damage the width changes)

So be mindful of what frame you want the width from

[velvet wolf]

thats very useful info, tyvm

Hmm, still getting an error when trying to get the height:

print(aura_env.region.relativeTo.GetHeight())

Ahh, should be print(aura_env.region.relativeTo:GetHeight())

Ok next question sorry.

aura_env.region.height = height```

This doesn't seem to actually be updating the height of the WA despite the fact I can see the height changing in DevTools. Am I missing something critical here?

This code is in On Init but also doesn't work in On Show

aura_env.region:Update() does not seem to help

sorted.

aura_env.region:SetRegionHeight()

the SUF player frame is just not tagged properly as the player unit frame (at least LGF never could find it, despite the frame having unit = "player")

[tawdry urchin]

SUFUnitplayer.healthBar:GetHeight() like that

[tawdry urchin]

don't just randomly guess, I see you found the correct thing in the end but since you have vdt then just look to find the correct function

or look through the github wiki

[velvet wolf]

Ye I found it eventually by looking through VDT output. An extremely useful tool to be sure.

That said, I found region.height via VDT too so, just a process of trial and error really. I have not been checking the wiki though, will try and do that more in future.
