Converting macro script into addon?

[Terahertz]

So I've got this macro that changes my stopwatch to fit my taste. It puts the stopwatch in the middle of the screen without any borders, just the text. I copied this macro from a rogue livestreamer but I extremely dislike having to press the macro every time I log in or reload. So I was wondering if it's possible to convert the script into an addon.

/run StopwatchFrame:SetScale(.01)
/run StopwatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",84750,-16000)
/run StopwatchTicker:SetScale(100)
/run StopwatchTicker:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-330,-400)
/run StopwatchFrame:SetMovable(false)

Thanks

Yes, it is.

Basically you just need to make a .lua file without the same lines without the /run at the beginning.

For making it a complete addon there's a sticky guide.

local a = CreateFrame("Frame")
a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
a:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self)
 StopwatchFrame:SetScale(.01)
 StopwatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",84750,-16000)
 StopwatchTicker:SetScale(100)
 StopwatchTicker:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-330,-400)
 StopwatchFrame:SetMovable(false)
self:UnregisterAllEvents()
end)

For simple things like this I usually use DevPad instead, since it lets you set Lua code to autorun with just a paste and a button press.

local a = CreateFrame("Frame")
a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
a:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self)
 StopwatchFrame:SetScale(.01)
 StopwatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",84750,-16000)
 StopwatchTicker:SetScale(100)
 StopwatchTicker:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-330,-400)
 StopwatchFrame:SetMovable(false)
self:UnregisterAllEvents()
end)

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you might want PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD instead? If the stopwatch position gets reset upon entering and leaving instances when using the above, replacing "PLAYER_LOGIN" with "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" should fix it, anyway.

Already skimmed through the sticky guide, but couldn't find anything about macro code into addon lua code and I've no knowledge of lua at all.

local a = CreateFrame("Frame")
a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
a:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self)
 StopwatchFrame:SetScale(.01)
 StopwatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",84750,-16000)
 StopwatchTicker:SetScale(100)
 StopwatchTicker:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-330,-400)
 StopwatchFrame:SetMovable(false)
self:UnregisterAllEvents()
end)

Thanks, going to try this out now

Nice, it's working! Thanks Aleaa
