Hiding frame outside of raid

[nosscire]

Hey guys!

I'm almost done with my first addon, but there's one small thing i'm missing.

I have one frame (made in XML) and one LUA file.

The frame is called AzDKPForm.

Basicly, I want this frame to always be hidden outside of raids, and always shown in raids. I've Understood that I have to use the RAID_ROOSTER_UPDATE event to check this, and also GetNumRaidMembers(), but I just can't get it to work.

Anyone got some kind of standarized code for this?

Thanks

Post what code you're currently using someplace and we'll have a look at it.

If you want help, paste your code.

Alright, the code I tried using was the following:

local frame = CreateFrame("AzDKP_Frame")
AzDKP_Frame:SetSecript("OnEvent", function()
	if GetNumRaidMembers() > 0 and AzDKPForm:IsShown() then
		AzDKPForm:Hide();
	elseif not AzDKPForm:IsShown() then
		AzDKPForm:Show();
	end
end)
AzDKP_Frame:RegisterEvent("RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE")

This code looks alright to me, but unfortunally it doesn't seem to do anything. Also doesn't spit any errors.

I have also uploaded my code here on Curseforge, if you want to have a look at all of it, however there I don't have this code included:

You've got a lot of typos and errors in there. I assume AzDKPForm is a frame that's already defined somewhere else? If so than all you need is...

I thought events could only be recorded by a frame when it was visible? Or is that only valid for the OnUpdate event?

In any case, will try that out when I get home this afternoon, thanks for the help man

(And yeah, what I posted had allot of typos and stuff, not quite sure how that happened when I copy-pasted in here. It didn't have that in my real code.)

Ah, got it to work. For some reason I couldn't set these things in my LUA files, as it said the value of AzDKPForm was nil. Guess i'm doing it wrong somewhere.

Added the scripts right into the XML instead, and that works nicely

Thanks!

Frames continue to receive events regardless of their visibility.

Also, OnUpdate isn't an event.
