Hi! I'm really not good with addons but a few days ago I decided to try some out again, the interface I came up with is pretty nice but I can't seem to get focus target right.. Each time I try it it gives me an error:

you cant right click a unit frame and select "set focus" as it calls that error, you need to target whoever you want to focus and type /focus

It's been a restriction on all addons since vanilla. You can use a keybind or a macro but can't do it from the dropdown menu.

Since you're trying to make this for yourself, you'll have to look into the SecureActionButtonTemplate reference (specify "SecureActionButtonTemplate" as arg4 to your CreateFrame call on a Button widget).

You'll want to SetAttribute type to "focus" and unit to "target" (or whatever unit you're trying to focus). However, as your frame inherits a secure template, it will also have to abide certain restrictions - most importantly, you won't be able to show/hide/move it during combat (InCombatLockdown returns true) - this is also why addon dropdown menus cannot change focus (as they need to work (=open/close) in combat).

PS: Don't replace the button's OnClick script - it's inherited from the SecureTemplate. Use PreClick/PostClick, or :HookScript.
