Need help with PVP flag

[ryusick]

when i hit /pvp it doesnt pop up, i have to reloadui to get to to show on unitframe,

my question is can anyone help me to make it react without having to reloadui everytime i wanna see if i'm flagged or not.

where do i edit it in the default.lua would be a nice clue =) thanks.

Try changing this line in \Nurfed_UnitFrames\Nurfed_UnitFrames.lua



elseif (event == "UNIT_PVP_UPDATE") then
lib:UpdatePvPStatus();


to



elseif (event == "UNIT_FACTION") then
lib:UpdatePvPStatus();


This has been working for me, though I'm not sure if it is the proper way to do it, as I really don't know much about .lua at all. I gathered this info from here:

@schmittmj

you also must add the event in: \Nurfed_UnitFrames\Default.lua

just add this somewhere between line 331 and 356:


"UNIT_FACTION",

For the people that doesn't know where line 331 and 356 is...

it's around here:


--Frame Design
Nurfed_UnitsLayout.Layout = {
player = {
type = "Button",
size = { 180, 59 },
FrameStrata = "LOW",
ClampedToScreen = true,
events = {
"PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD",
"PLAYER_ENTER_COMBAT",
"PLAYER_LEAVE_COMBAT",
"PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED",
"PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED",
"PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING",
"PLAYER_XP_UPDATE",
"PLAYER_LEVEL_UP",
"UPDATE_EXHAUSTION",
"UPDATE_FACTION",
"UNIT_FACTION",
"PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED",
"RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE",
"PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED",
"PARTY_LOOT_METHOD_CHANGED",
"UNIT_HEALTH",
"UNIT_MANA",
"UNIT_ENERGY",
"UNIT_RAGE",
"UNIT_MAXHEALTH",
"UNIT_MAXMANA",
"UNIT_MAXENERGY",
"UNIT_MAXRAGE",
"UNIT_DISPLAYPOWER",
"UNIT_PVP_UPDATE",
"UNIT_NAME_UPDATE",
"UNIT_COMBAT",


btw, I tested it and it seems to be working correctly. Thanks for your help.

Ah yes, thats right. I tend to forget that one since I don't overwrite my layout.lua with each update.

No work for me, i have add "Unit_Faction" but nothing.

My tag Pvp is shown or not, just when i connect / deconnect or loading a zone. :(

[Vinx]

nobody know how repair the flag please ?

[Ralrra]

Did you also make the change to the nurfed_unitframes.lua as mentioned in the second post?

[Vinx]

Yes i do, i have change the nurfed_unitframes.lua and the Default.lua and always the same problem.

[Vinx]

On the target, it's good, when i target me, i see if i have the pvp flag or not and when he leaves, the problem is just on my frame and need to deconnect / reconnect for see the PVP flag.

Is there a way to do this for your party members. I added a flag for them but it dosent update properly for them, only when I reload the interface. I am not having any problems with the player frame. I assume there is also some way to check for playerstatus for party members as well.
