[lua] Minimap move "OnEvent"

[Deleted]

hi all,

i'm working on my minimap and i wonder if it's possible to move it with an "OnEvent" sript or something else.
so what it should do is, move say 50px down when i have a target and 50px up when i have no target.

what i've got looks somehow totally wrong

Minimap:ClearAllPoints()
Minimap:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED")
Minimap:SetSize(UIParent:GetWidth()*0.12, UIParent:GetWidth()*0.12)

Minimap:SetScript("OnEvent", function(frame, event)
if event == "PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED" and (UnitExists("target"))
    then
        Minimap:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",-UIParent:GetWidth()*0.01,-UIParent:GetHeight()*0.08)
elseif event == "PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED" and (UnitExists(nil))
    then
        Minimap:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",-UIParent:GetWidth()*0.01,-UIParent:GetHeight()*0.02)
    end
end)

cant somebody please help or give any direction

(UnitExists(nil))

this will always be false, as the nil unit never exists. you're probably looking for

not UnitExists("target")

(this is redundant anyways as the previous if statement already checked this)

also, realize that by setting the actual Minimap's OnEvent handler, you're overriding its original one, so you've probably broken much of the Minimap's functionality. You probably want to create your own frame for the OnEvent handler.

and finally, you haven't explained what exactly is "totally wrong"

:HookScript("OnEvent",...) if you don't want to break existing functionality.

However, you probably want a separate frame that is only registered for PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED, yes.
