The Gate Project

Gate is a combination of a Clientaddon and a Serverscript. With this strong combination, we can create our own Frames in Serverscripts without change something in your Client (especially the Gate Addon you have to "install" one time).

What Does Gate Allow You To Do?

Build Frames, Buttons, Checkboxes, Radioboxes, Editboxes, Textboxes, StatusBars
Call Ok-Frames, Yes-No-Frames, Input-Frames, and over 150 Blizzard StaticPopups

The Commands for all these Objects are easy:

YourFrame = CreateFrame("Name")
YourButton = YourFrame:CreateButton("ButtonName")

and so on.
Frames should be Parents of Objects. If you call Create-Functions from an Object, the Object become Parent otherwise, the UIParent would be the Parent.

CreateFrame("Name")
CreateButton("Name")
CreateCheckBox("Name")
CreateCheckButton("Name")
CreateRadioButton("Name")
CreateStatusBar("Name")
CreateEditBox("Name")
CreateInputBox("Name")
CreateTextBox("Name")
CreateInputFrame("Name")
CreateEditFrame("Name")
CreateOkFrame("Name")

All Objects created with standard settings, if you want to change something, you can easily do it like this:

YourButton:SetText("ButtonText")
YourButton:SetYOffset(50)
YourFrame:SetWidth(400)

All Arguments you can set are:

SetText("Text")
SetWidth(Width)
SetHeight(Height)
SetParent("Name")
SetAlpha(Alpha)
SetXOffset(XOffset)
SetYOffset(YOffset)
SetStatusLink("Name")
SetEvents("Event", Func)
	-- Only for Frames
SetCantClose(true/false)
SetCantMove(ture/false)
	-- Only for Check/Radiobuttons
SetChecked(true/false)
	--Only for Yes/No-Frame
SetYes("Text")
SetNo("Text")
	-- Only for Statusbar
MinValue(value)
MaxValue(value)
Value(value)
Countdown(time in sec)

After, you done all this, you have something like that:

local Frame = CreateFrame("TestFrame")
local Button = Frame:CreateButton("TestButton")
local Edit = Frame:CreateEditBox("TextEdit")
local CB = Frame:CreateCheckBox("TestCB")
Button:SetText("TestButtonText")
Button:SetEvent("OnClick", function() print("Event coming") end)
Edit:SetText("TestText")
Edit:SetYOffset(20)
Edit:SetStatusLink("TestButton")
CB:SetYOffset(-20)
CB:SetStatusLink("TestButton")
CB:SetText("TestCB")
Frame:SetText("TestFrame")
Frame:Send(Player)

And by Frame:Send(Player), we trigger the Player. It would look like that:


After all, the Player has the Frame, and we e.g. want to hide the frame:
Button:Hide(Player)

All Changecommands are all Settings, we can set with Set-Commands + Show, Hide and ChangeOffset.

So, I hope, I explain all things, you need.

Basically, the script you add to your server and all players need to use the addon, then you can use the commands added by this release to create GUI's for players from any other script you create.
