[JASS] How to hide system buttons and time indicator

[Oli]

Hi,
using this library i have hidden most of the UI. Only the system buttons and time indicator remain. The question is short and stupid, but unanswerable by me as i am an unexperienced scripter; how do I hide/remove them? (Don't have to be a function from the library i am using.)

I ran into the same problem a few weeks ago.

//To hide the daytime indicator
call BlzFrameSetVisible( BlzFrameGetChild(BlzFrameGetChild(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_GAME_UI, 0),5), 0) , false )
//and the systems buttons
call BlzFrameSetVisible( BlzFrameGetChild(BlzFrameGetChild(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_SIMPLE_UI_PARENT,0),3),buttonNumber) , false )
//buttonNumber = 0-3

Yo this doesn't work?
(the toc line doesnt matter)

You forgot to increment the i .

You forgot to increment the i .

Still won't work.
(Made sure to disenable any other scripts).

Are you using Reforged? I believe BlzFrameGetChild only works on patch 1.32.6 and above.

That's not how you call the BlzLoadTOCFile function or any function for that matter.

native BlzLoadTOCFile takes string TOCFile returns boolean

^ This tells us that the function's name is BlzLoadTOCFile. It also tells us that it takes a string which serves as the name of the TOCFile that you want to load. Lastly it tells us that it will return a boolean that I assume will be True if it found the file or False if it failed.

So this is how you would call the function:

call BlzLoadTOCFile("TOCFile")

Then replace "TOCFile" with the full name of the file that you want to load.

But that's besides the point, you don't even need to call the BlzLoadTOCFile() function. If you delete that line from your code it should work without any errors.

I might be a pain in the ass, but it still doesn't work for me, even after deleting and changing the non-valid line for the TOCFile (which didn't matter anyways i think as i don't have my own TOCFile). Tried turning off and on the UI Utils aswell. If I might have some questions:
1. Can you hide child frames without hiding their parent frames?
2. Is there an image, tutorial, reference or anything that would tell how frames on the UI are named (from the player's perspective)?

(Sending the changed script in attached files aswell as the map, as it seems like I can't manage this on my own)

This seems to work:

function test takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
 
    loop
        call BlzFrameSetVisible( BlzFrameGetChild(BlzFrameGetChild(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_SIMPLE_UI_PARENT,0),3),i) , false )
        set i = i + 1
        exitwhen i > 3
    endloop
 
    call BlzFrameSetVisible( BlzFrameGetChild(BlzFrameGetChild(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_GAME_UI, 0),5), 0) , false )
endfunction

• call test
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call test()

I tested it with UI Utils disabled.

Your code isn't being run. "Run on map initialization" doesn't work here. It executes a trigger after creating it, but you don't have a trigger here, only a function. Try this:

Hidden

scope test initializer test

function test takes nothing returns nothing
	local integer i = 0
	call BlzFrameSetVisible(BlzFrameGetChild(BlzFrameGetChild(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_GAME_UI, 0), 5), 0), false)
	loop
		exitwhen i > 3
		call BlzFrameSetVisible(BlzFrameGetChild(BlzFrameGetChild(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_SIMPLE_UI_PARENT, 0), 3), i), false)
		set i = i+1
	endloop
	set i = 0
endfunction

endscope

This will hide the Daytime Indicator. The system buttons still don't hide unless you disable UI Utils. Why that happens, I have no idea. Someone else has to answer.

Try this:

call BlzFrameSetVisible(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_SYSTEM_BUTTON, 0), false) // F10 (Menu)
call BlzFrameSetVisible(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_SYSTEM_BUTTON, 1), false) // F11 (Allies)
call BlzFrameSetVisible(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_SYSTEM_BUTTON, 2), false) // F12 (Log)
call BlzFrameSetVisible(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_SYSTEM_BUTTON, 3), false) // F9  (Quests)

Thanks a lot to everyone. I have changed my concept from making a loop to calling each frame individually and made a scope as Antaras said (ty!). This is the final trigger if someone wants to see it.
