Hooking Ability Bar FadeIn/Out

[Phinix]

Greetings,

There is an option under Settings, Interface to set the Ability Bar to always show, always hide, or "automatic." When set to automatic it will fade in or out depending on combat state, and whether you are targeting a hostile, etc.

What I am trying to do is hook into the fade in/out callback here so I can fire off some functions when this setting shows/hides the action bar.

I have tried various means to do this using fragments, all with limited success. The only thing I managed to get it to do was show or hide when I was on the skills page of the in-game settings.

If anyone knows how to go about this I would be grateful. I am about to pass out from the headache I have thanks to this stupid health condition, but I really want to make this work.

The following code will work for the bar at the bottom center of the screen.

ACTION_BAR_FRAGMENT:RegisterCallback("StateChange", function(oldState, newState)
    --[[ possible states are:
    SCENE_FRAGMENT_SHOWN = "shown"
    SCENE_FRAGMENT_HIDDEN = "hidden"
    SCENE_FRAGMENT_SHOWING = "showing"
    SCENE_FRAGMENT_HIDING = "hiding"
    ]]--
end)

The skill bar in the skill window is a different fragment: SKILLS_ACTION_BAR_FRAGMENT

Thanks Shinni! That was definitely the one I was looking for. I must have tried every other fragment in the UI and somehow missed this one.

Got it working by first setting up my fragment doing:

local MY_FRAGMENT = ACTION_BAR_FRAGMENT:New(My_Control)

Then:

MY_FRAGMENT:RegisterCallback("StateChange", function(oldState, newState)
	if newState == SCENE_FRAGMENT_SHOWN then
		My_Control:SetHidden(false)
	elseif newState == SCENE_FRAGMENT_HIDDEN then
		My_Control:SetHidden(true)
	end
end)

I really appreciate the pointers.
