Scripting help

[Aldon]

Hi, i have a script that changes my spec each time i click the button and i was wondering how i can add to it so that it also shows/hides an addon. here is the script:

/script if (GetActiveTalentGroup() == 2) then SetActiveTalentGroup(1); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Main Spec"); else SetActiveTalentGroup(2) DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Off Spec"); end

so basically i want to add /addonname show and /addonname hide so that it will hide/show whenever i change spec.

If the addon supports toggle, just add the slash command on a new line after the /sript. Unless /script blocks that from happening? Don't know; don't use any script macros.

Nope, /script is basically just like /cast only it lets you program some stuff in LUA.

You should be able to add the toggle after the /script and it would work fine. If the addon doesn't support toggling, then you may have to find the parent name of the frame and hide/show that frame in the /script.

Out of curiosity (sorry for slightly derailing this), why would you need a script like that? I never quite understood, what makes it any better than simply going 'N' and clicking the button?

He can bind it. He can bind other stuff (like this) to it aswell.

There are reasons why he could use it, there isnt really a reason why not to.

Depends on what addon it is, for its toggle command. For Healbot you would just add

/hb t

Specifying the addon itself would help.
Some might have a toggle option through a slash command, and letting us know which one it is would help us find that.

I used to use a similar script for one-button swapping of spec and gearset.
