Saving Anchor Location Problem

[Pure_Decimation]

I'm working on my addon (some of you may have saw my post yesterday) And am getting ready to release an early version out to the public to have access to. I'm just trying to solve one small problem I'm having at the moment. I can't get my anchor points to save after my objects are moved. I have looked at other code and I'm pretty sure I have it close, but it's not quite working. I've attached the code below. If anyone has time to look at it and help me out, that would be extremely helpful. Thanks ahead of time

Hi,
Try this: remove <Anchor> tags from both <TopLevelControl> in your .xml file.

When I do that, it makes both objects unmoveable.

The problem, I think is that it's not saving properly in the Vars. Because if I put custom values in, it seems to work.

Once again remove <Anchor> tags from both <TopLevelControl> in your .xml file. You are setting them in the lua code.

The problem is with control names:

<TopLevelControl name="Pure" mouseEnabled="true" movable="true" hidden="false">
...
<Label name="$(parent)Time" font="ZoFontGame" movable="true" color="CFDCBD" wrapMode="ELLIPSIS" verticalAlignment="CENTER" text="">
...
<TopLevelControl name="PureG" mouseEnabled="true" movable="true" hidden="false">
...
<Label name="$(parent)old" font="ZoFontGame" color="CFDCBD" wrapMode="ELLIPSIS" verticalAlignment="CENTER" text="">

Your TopLevelControls are named "Pure" and "PureG" but in the code you are refering to Labels (named "PureTime" and "PureGold"):

PureGold:SetHandler("OnMoveStop", OnMoveStopGold)
PureTime:SetHandler("OnMoveStop", OnMoveStopTime)
 
...
 
PureGold:SetAnchor(PureVars.SV.gold.point, nil, PureVars.SV.gold.relPoint, PureVars.SV.gold.offsetx, PureVars.SV.gold.offsety)
PureTime:SetAnchor(PureVars.SV.clock.point, nil, PureVars.SV.clock.relPoint, PureVars.SV.clock.offsetx, PureVars.SV.clock.offsety)
 
...
 
function OnMoveStopGold()
        _, PureVars.SV.gold.point, _, PureVars.SV.gold.relPoint, PureVars.SV.gold.offsetx, PureVars.SV.gold.offsety = PureGold:GetAnchor(0)
end
        
function OnMoveStopTime()
        _, PureVars.SV.clock.point, _, PureVars.SV.clock.relPoint, PureVars.SV.clock.offsetx, PureVars.SV.clock.offsety = PureTime:GetAnchor(0)
end

Instead this should look like this:

PureG:SetHandler("OnMoveStop", OnMoveStopGold)
Pure:SetHandler("OnMoveStop", OnMoveStopTime)
 
...
 
PureG:SetAnchor(PureVars.SV.gold.point, nil, PureVars.SV.gold.relPoint, PureVars.SV.gold.offsetx, PureVars.SV.gold.offsety)
Pure:SetAnchor(PureVars.SV.clock.point, nil, PureVars.SV.clock.relPoint, PureVars.SV.clock.offsetx, PureVars.SV.clock.offsety)
 
...
 
function OnMoveStopGold()
        _, PureVars.SV.gold.point, _, PureVars.SV.gold.relPoint, PureVars.SV.gold.offsetx, PureVars.SV.gold.offsety = PureG:GetAnchor(0)
end
        
function OnMoveStopTime()
        _, PureVars.SV.clock.point, _, PureVars.SV.clock.relPoint, PureVars.SV.clock.offsetx, PureVars.SV.clock.offsety = Pure:GetAnchor(0)
end

You should review your code because there are other places where you operate on wrong controls. For example:

PureGold:SetHidden(checkbox)

This will show/hide the Label control but you want to show/hide TopLevelControl instead.

For a change this is your good code:

PureTime:SetText(string.format("%d:%02d %s", hours, minutes, tod) )
...
PureGold:SetText(string.format("GOLD: %d", currGold) )

Hope this helps

That worked! Thank you so much! If there was a way I could give you a hug I would. lol
