[UI] Hide sections of the UI

[Popi2k7]

Hi all.

Thought I'd finally post something that some of you might find useful. To all of you UI modders out there this may just be common sense, but I've found it quite useful on a number of occasions. I've done a quick search and couldn't find anything quite the same as this.

A lot of UI mods have draggable buttons. What's happened to me a few times is that the buttons can get "lost" underneath the standard Blizz UI frames. It's possible to hide frames individually in the game so that the button can be rescued and repositioned.

This is actually an adaptation of this thread: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-ex...ghlight=korean

All you have to do to hide a UI frame is type /script HideUIPanel(name of panel here).

Some examples are:

/script HideUIPanel(TargetFrame) - This will hide the target portrait.
/script HideUIPanel(PlayerFrame) - This will hide your char's portrait.

I've only had to try these two in the past, but I'm pretty sure it will work for any of the UI panels so long as you know the actual names for them. If anybody knows more than these two, please let us know ^^.

To show the panel again, simply type the same as above but change it to ShowUIPanel.

Hope this is of some use to you all :wave:
