Overlapping portrait frame

[mash]

Anyone played with moving around the portrait frame? I can move it no problem, but it seems to overlap with whatever frames are at an equal level or below it. I can put frames over top without any collision, but for whatever reason below doesn't work.

I've played around with `BlzFrameSetLevel`, but haven't been able to cause any changes with that. Not sure if it even does anything.

I've attached an example of what the overlapping looks like against a green backdrop. The green backdrop is a parent frame of the portrait.

Basically the question is if its possible to put stuff underneath the portrait frame without this weird z-index overlap issue.

E.g.:

local originFrame = BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_GAME_UI, 0)
local portraitBackdropFrame = BlzCreateFrameByType(
  "BACKDROP",
  "portraitBackdropFrame",
  originFrame,
  "",
  0
)
BlzFrameSetSize(portraitBackdropFrame, 0.5, 0.5)
BlzFrameSetAbsPoint(portraitBackdropFrame, FRAMEPOINT_CENTER, 0.2, 0.2)

local portraitFrame = BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_PORTRAIT, 0)
BlzFrameSetVisible(portraitFrame, true)
BlzFrameClearAllPoints(portraitFrame)
BlzFrameSetAllPoints(portraitFrame, portraitBackdropFrame)

BlzFrameSetParent(portraitFrame, portraitBackdropFrame)

I moved it around and placed it above other Frames. But it was a bit clunky for some models, the Goblin shop showed the form of the unit behind the Portrait (a Dragon), the human footman Training Building was almost invisible. But I did not much testing with that Problem.

To Change the Level of the Portrait you have to Change the Level of its parent, after doing that the Portrait can be above other Frames.

call BlzFrameSetLevel( BlzFrameGetParent(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_PORTRAIT,0)), 1 or higher)

Edit: You changed the level basicly by Changing the parent, if that was successful.

Although for some reason the glowing behind hero Buttons were also placed above the hero Buttons which makes them very intensive and the Icon less visible (only for the optic).

When the Default UI is not hidden, one has to use call BlzEnableUIAutoPosition( false ) to be able to move the Portrait.

For anyone possibly coming to this thread, this works. Thanks @Tasyen !
