How to hide minimap button from interface? LUA

[Deleted]

Hi, so I have this code

function LoadMinimapButton()

	local dragMode = nil --"free", nil
	
	local function moveButton(self)
		if dragMode == "free" then
			local centerX, centerY = Minimap:GetCenter()
			local x, y = GetCursorPosition()
			x, y = x / self:GetEffectiveScale() - centerX, y / self:GetEffectiveScale() - centerY
			self:ClearAllPoints()
			self:SetPoint("CENTER", x, y)
		else
			local centerX, centerY = Minimap:GetCenter()
			local x, y = GetCursorPosition()
			x, y = x / self:GetEffectiveScale() - centerX, y / self:GetEffectiveScale() - centerY
			centerX, centerY = math.abs(x), math.abs(y)
			centerX, centerY = (centerX / math.sqrt(centerX^2 + centerY^2)) * 76, (centerY / sqrt(centerX^2 + centerY^2)) * 76
			centerX = x < 0 and -centerX or centerX
			centerY = y < 0 and -centerY or centerY
			self:ClearAllPoints()
			self:SetPoint("CENTER", centerX, centerY)
		end
	end

	local button = CreateFrame("Button", "DPMMinimapButton", Minimap)
	button:SetHeight(25)
	button:SetWidth(25)
	button:SetFrameStrata("MEDIUM")
	button:SetPoint("CENTER", 75.70,-6.63)
	button:SetMovable(true)
	button:SetUserPlaced(true)
	button:SetNormalTexture("Interface\\HelpFrame\\HotIssueIcon.blp")
	button:SetPushedTexture("Interface\\HelpFrame\\HotIssueIcon.blp")
	button:SetHighlightTexture("Interface\\Minimap\\UI-Minimap-Background.blp")
	
	button:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function(self, button)
		if IsShiftKeyDown() and IsAltKeyDown() then
			dragMode = "free"
			self:SetScript("OnUpdate", moveButton)
		elseif IsShiftKeyDown() or button == "RightButton" then
			dragMode = nil
			self:SetScript("OnUpdate", moveButton)
		end
	end)
	button:SetScript("OnMouseUp", function(self)
		self:SetScript("OnUpdate", nil)
	end)
	button:SetScript("OnClick", function(self, button)
		if IsShiftKeyDown() or button == "RightButton" then return end
		DPMShowInterface()
	end)
	button:SetScript("OnEnter", function(self)
		GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor(GameTooltip, self)
		GameTooltip:SetText("Deadly Pvp Mods", 1, 1, 0)
		GameTooltip:AddLine("version: "..DPM_version.." ",0, 1, 1, 1)
		GameTooltip:AddLine(" ")
		GameTooltip:AddLine("Shift+click or right-click to move\nAlt+shift+click for free drag&drop", 1, 1,1, 1)
		GameTooltip:Show()
	end)
	button:SetScript("OnLeave", function(self)
		GameTooltip:Hide()
	end)
end

I want to make a box at interface addon menu and hide or show by clicking there. Can you help me?

Try adding this at the bottom of your function:

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame.name = "Deadly Pvp Mods"
InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(frame)

local option = CreateFrame("CheckButton", nil, frame, "InterfaceOptionsCheckButtonTemplate")
option:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 32, -32)
option:SetChecked(button:IsShown())
option:SetText("Show minimap button")
option:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)
	button:SetShown(self:GetChecked())
end)

I added this code but since there is already a frame called DPM_MFrame I couldnt

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame.name = "Deadly Pvp Mods"
InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(frame)

since it adds a second menu in interface.

So I used the second part of your code like this

	local option = CreateFrame("CheckButton", nil, DPM_Mframe, "InterfaceOptionsCheckButtonTemplate")
	option:SetPoint("CENTER", 32,-32)
	option:SetChecked(button:IsShown())
	option:SetText("Show minimap button")
	option:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)
	button:SetShown(self:GetChecked())
	end)

Now the button works as it should but the problem is that its not at the interface but at my UI so I see it all the time:P
So what am I doing wrong? How can I put it in the addon options menu? :S

Thanks for your answer!

That would indicate that it was unable to find the frame called DPM_Mframe. Make sure it's spelt correctly, and that it's global.

Well you were right about spelling correctly (if you see my previous reply I had DPM_Mframe instead of DPM_MFrame, so now its in the options and works.
But the problem now is that the setting doesn't save itself. Its always ticked so it shows button but if you untick it and relog its ticked again!

Well, you have to tell it whether or not it should be checked. Add a SavedVariable entry for it, modify that in the OnClick, then restore its state in your addon's ADDON_LOADED.
