TwisterSet

lol you did great... I'm pretty good at modifying other peoples addons to do what I want, but there is no way in hell I could have wrote that from scratch. I've already told all the knights in my guild that they gotta get this. It's a very useful addon for those two classes.

here's the problem I've come across. I run a shared ui profile between all my chars. It seems that the addon only does the check to see if you are a knight/chosen when first loading the game or doing a /reload... but not when switching characters.

So, if I start up the game and load my knight first then it shows. If I start the game and load my engi it correctly does not show, but then when I switch to my knight it is still hidden until I do a /reload.

I'll probably just do a similar modification to that listed above for now and make it always show for all chars... but if you are making changes to the addon it might be nice to have an official fix for that.

So, I got it to work the way I wanted it to.

What I did was removed the class check in the initialize function just how MustaForgotToHealYa showed. But then I added a new function in that did nothing but check your class and show the window if you're a knight or chosen and hide if you're not. It looked something like this:

function TwisterSet.OnLoad()

if GameData.Player.career.line == GameData.CareerLine.KNIGHT or
GameData.Player.career.line == GameData.CareerLine.CHOSEN then
WindowSetShowing("TwisterSetWnd", true)
else
WindowSetShowing("TwisterSetWnd", false)
end
end

Then I looked at how the original Twister addon did it and added in these 3 lines to the bottom of my initilize function:

RegisterEventHandler(SystemData.Events.PLAYER_CAREER_LINE_UPDATED,"TwisterSet.OnLoad")
RegisterEventHandler(SystemData.Events.LOADING_END,"TwisterSet.OnLoad")
RegisterEventHandler(SystemData.Events.RELOAD_INTERFACE,"TwisterSet.OnLoad")


I put all three because I don't know enough to know which ones run when so I figured by adding all three I was ensuring that the function would get called.

Works perfectly with shared ui profiles. Only shows twisterset when you are on a knight or chosen and doesn't require reloading uis.

Ahh, Shared UI's that's the reason for the check. I Was wondering. I don't use that functionality (although I probably should).

I propably do something bad but i cant make it work:-(

Twister works
I can also see twisterset buttons i can switch aurabuttons, but I cant set my auras with righclicking on number button:-(

But I must say its great idea when I found out what i am doing wrong.

I downloaded this addon. However should I crash or exit the game the button disappears. When this happens it causes an error with twister to show up. (I will post the error later as I'm not home.) I have to disable this addon and turn it back on in order to fix it and get the button back. Seeing as this is something I find helpful, I would love to see this issue fixed. I know another chosen that was also having the button disappear as well.

Thanks in advance

I also had the buttons not show until I manually deloaded then reloaded the addon.

I hope I will not make the author mad by typing this, I love the addon! GREAT WORK! But with the ability to load/unload each addon for each character the check is not needed unless I'm missin something and that is quite possible, I am an addon newb :)

There is an easy fix to the buttons not showing. The author has the .lua file check to see if your character is a knight or chosen. But with the ability to load/unload each addon for each character the check is not needed unless I'm missin something and that is quite possible, I am an addon newb :) I simply took that check out and it worked fine. Open the Twisterset.lua with notepad, then take out the lines that have I have added the **************** over and under. I hope that makes sense. Then save make sure you save it as Twisterset.lua
