for example, CustomNameplates is a really good example of a major addon NOT doing this and the reason i would not recommend it to people based on the code i've looked through — if i remember correctly it creates a set of 8 new "buff" frames on every tick of its OnUpdate. assuming that you're running at a consistent 60fps, thats 28800 frames being created and stacked on top of one another inside of a minute.

i dont think you can create frames onupdate without getting massiv fps dropdown...also there is only 1 event frame in whole CustomNameplates addon...

looks like there's checks before creation initialises on any textures (and it uses CreateTexture parented to the plate itself rather than more frames), so i retract my complaint. maybe i was looking at a bootleg version previously.

i had another version without all these things

So your version of CustomNameplates is more perfomance friendly? Can you share it please?

Im using version from Lulleh post in this topic, and it does consume a lot of memory, and i think my fps drops in crowded places like Suppression Room is connected with it (im using not clickable frames fix, cuz its impossible to move camera in crowded locations)
BTW i switched to sRaidFrames from Luna (can't handle luna's 40y range check anymore). and can't configure its buffs part - do you know if its possible to make rejuvenation and regrowth both be tracked, but not the gift of the wild\thorns, or make gift of the wild\thorns toggleable on keybind?

If i want the save the position of the frame in "saved variables", do i need to save the position and send the value to a variable when i lock the position?

[kuurtzen]

I think frame's position get automatically saved either way you should check the saved variables page on wowwiki more info on that

I'm stuck again,, damn it..
This is the create frame row.. and as far as i understand it, the "nil" is the "name" of the frame (nil=there is no name)

Code: Select all

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

So by doing this, the frame name should be refered as BoX right??

Code: Select all

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", BoX, UIParent)

[modernist]

you want the name saved as a string, so

Code: Select all

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", "BoX", UIParent)

Ah, TNX!
