I know about hideblizzard, i just dont like it because it messes up my action bars and gets really ugly.

All I really NEED is something that hides the blizzard party frame as I already have Xperl and Grid. I've searched the event that i should fire, but for some reason i can't get my addon to work.

the event SHOULD be "PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED", and i've tried everything, but i dont even get the "Addon loaded" message i programmed in. any help is appreciated

Xperl should just have a default option to hide the default party frames, just look in the options there I guess. I use PitBull and for as far as I remember the default unitframes were disabled from the moment I installed it.

i could never find one, which is a mood point anyway because i dont use the Xperl or pitbull party frames, i just use grid. unfortunately if you dont install the party frames, the default blizzard ones show up. i dont want them there. i had a macro setup, but it gets annoying everytime i want to close it to have to hit that button

Look up the addon Party's Over, it hides default party frames.

Type in this:

file partyhide.toc

## Interface: 30200
## Title: Party Hide
## Author: efindel
## Notes: Hides Blizzard's party unit frames
partyhide.lua

partyhide.lua

local i
for i = 1, 4 do
  local frame = getglobal("PartyMemberFrame"..i)
  frame:Hide()
  frame:SetScript("OnShow", frame.Hide)
end

Put those in a folder named "PartyHide" under your Addons folder. Congratulations! You have an addon that hides your party member unit frames and does nothing else.  No need to handle any events -- this just sets the frames to hide whenever they're shown.

LUA:

local f = CreateFrame("FRAME")

    f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

    f:SetScript("OnEvent", onEvent)

    f:Show()

local onEvent()

    if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then

        PartyFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", nil)

        PartyFrame:Hide()

    end

end

This will nuke the party frames as soon as you login/reload and keep it that way by niling out the OnUpdate scripts, thus preventing them from automatically showing again for whatever reason.
