Hello,
what XML view do you mean? Did you create a XML UI yourself where you want to add your group members? Did you check the ESOUI Wiki for entries relating to group, maybe there are examples: https://wiki.esoui.com/w/index.php?t...ch=group&go=Go To get the group members you should check teh existing vanilla game lua code. The files are normally structured in fodler names like /esoui/ingame/<topic> where <topic> would be somehting like "group" then or "party". The ESOUI source cod can be found here for example: https://github.com/esoui/esoui/tree/master/esoui -> https://github.com/esoui/esoui/tree/...i/ingame/group In there you often find a base file (an objent oriented approach base "class" that other classes inherit from, e.g. ZO_ClassWhateverBase where later ZO_ClassWhatever_Keyboard and ZO_ClassWhatEver_Gamepad inherit from). And you often find utility files like grouputils.lua which contain functions used in all kind of group related stuff. Also xml files can exist that relate to both, keyboard and gamepad mode. In the subfolders keyboard or gamepad you'll find the files for the keyboard or gamepad mode then. So if you want to habe soemthing similar to the keyboard mode XML group UI you need to check the folder: https://github.com/esoui/esoui/tree/...group/keyboard In there you'll have lua files and XML files. The XML often is the UI or predefined "virtual" templates of controls or list rows, dialogs etc. The lua code contains the code that connects the logic with the XML UI output then. Sometimes XML is missing and lua will create the controls! So it's not always XML and lua! It could be only lua or only XML (containign some smaller lua portions in the xml code like <OnMouseDown> lua code here </OnMouseDown> events). ZO_GroupList_Keyboard contains the group list as you press P ingame, afaik: https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...t_keyboard.lua So if you do not search the group list but the group UI on the left, it's another folder: Unitframes https://github.com/esoui/esoui/tree/...ame/unitframes The XML contans e.g. 2 examples (virtual templates) for a row in that group unit frame, one for keyboard and one for Gamepad mode: Code:
<StatusBar name="ZO_GroupUnitFrameStatus_Keyboard_Template" inherits="ZO_ArrowStatusBarWithBG" virtual="true">
<Controls>
<Control name="$(parent)BG" hidden="false" />
<Control name="$(parent)Overlay" hidden="false" />
</Controls>
</StatusBar>
<StatusBar name="ZO_GroupUnitFrameStatus_Gamepad_Template" inherits="ZO_DefaultStatusBar" virtual="true">
<Controls>
<Control name="$(parent)BG" hidden="true" />
<Control name="$(parent)Overlay" hidden="true" />
</Controls>
</StatusBar>
local function CreateGroupsAfter(startIndex) https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...ames.lua#L2134 Lua Code:
So the function CreateGroupMember https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...ames.lua#L2107 will create a new row at the XML UI, usng the template defined above ZO_GroupUnitFrameStatus_Keyboard_Template then I'd assume, via function UnitFrames:CreateFrame where UnitFrames is the object created for the class ZO_UnitFrames_Manager https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...ames.lua#L2681 So it will call ZO_UnitFrames_Manager:CreateFrame https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...rames.lua#L309 It will then call the next class unitFrame = ZO_UnitFrameObject:New -> https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...rames.lua#L313 Which will internally call the ZO_UnitFrameObject:Initialize function https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...ames.lua#L1138 This reads the platform uses (pc, console, etc.) and the input type keyboard or gamepad, reads the template from XML to use, and then uses functions like self:AddFadeComponent or ZO_UnitFrameBar:New to create new fading controls or bar controls (self.healthBar -> health e.g.) to show at the UI. I guess that's not that easy to understand but I cannot explain it better. If you start with ESO addon creation you maybe should first do some more easy tasks -> Or try and error until it works  Check the WIKI for tutorials with XML, and expalining controls and anchors etc. if you are new to this too: https://wiki.esoui.com/Circonians_Stamina_Bar_Tutorial https://wiki.esoui.com/Control:SetAnchor https://wiki.esoui.com/UI_XML https://wiki.esoui.com/How_to..._do_UI_element_X |

local tag = "group"..tostring(i) local name = GetRawUnitName(tag) end Something like that for starters... EDIT: Ah I chose to help you a bit, Beartram chose to help you a lot  Last edited by Masteroshi430 : 12/15/22 at 07:26 AM. |

I hope that does not sound rude now but:
I recommand reading the long post I had answered you above. If this is not enough help I do not know what to do else, as we are not going to create your addon for you As I had written above: Group management is nothing you should start with if you want to create your first addon! You should first create something easy with your own UI and understand how that works and how data from lua will be send to the XML created controls. The eso code shows you that they just use 1 XML template where they can add several new controls (1 per character in the group) dynamically. And you should do the similar there, or you will get intro trouble if you "hardcode up to 12 or 24 group frames manually". So your goal should be to understand how the vanilla ESO code works and does that, so you are able to create smething similar for your addon. This is just my understanding, off course you can go ahead and create 12-24 harcoded XML structures for each player and update them each time redundantly, if you like to. |
