Save position to saved variables

[Woeler]

Hello all,

I'm currently making my first addon, a very simple one. I would like to know how I can save the position of the addon to the saved variables once the user moves it to a certain position.

Thanks!

Example In Lua:

local savedVariables --local reference for saved variables, actual object will be assigned later in EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED event handler
local defaults = { --default values for saved variables
    offsetX = 200,
    offsetY = 200,
}
 
--event handler for OnMoveStop
local function OnMoveStop(self)
    savedVariables.offsetX = self:GetLeft()
    savedVariables.offsetY = self:GetTop()
end
 
--event handler for EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED
local function OnAddonLoaded(event, addonName)
    if addonName == "YourAddon" then --addonName is in general name of your addon manifext without .txt extension
 
        EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("myUniqueEventHandlerName", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)
 
        --saved variables (in this case account wide)
        savedVariables = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("savedVariablesNameDefinedInAddonManifest", 1, "namespace", defaults)
 
        --create top level window, so we have something to work with
        local tlw = WINDOW_MANAGER:CreateTopLevelWindow()
        tlw:SetDimensions(128,128)
        tlw:SetMouseEnabled(true) --enable mouse events for this window, so it will handle mouse clicks, drags etc.
        tlw:SetClampedToScreen(true) --make sure that you can't drag window off the screen
        tlw:SetAnchor(TOPLEFT, GuiRoot, TOPLEFT, savedVariables.offsetX, savedVariables.offsetY) --restore window position from saved variables
        tlw:SetHandler("OnMoveStop", OnMoveStop) --set handler to event "OnMoveStop", it means when you stop moving the window
        tlw:SetHidden(false) --set window visible
        local texture = WINDOW_MANAGER:CreateControl(nil, tlw, CT_TEXTURE) --texture, so there will be something visible
        texture:SetTexture("/esoui/art/icons/poi/poi_groupboss_complete.dds")
        texture:SetAnchorFill(tlw)
    end
end
 
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("myUniqueEventHandlerName", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, OnAddonLoaded)
