Can't Move Score/Objective Trackers and FC Frames With Edit Mode

Guides UI and Macro
1

Edit mode has been out for 2 and a half years and these frames are still unable to be moved or resized.

For those who don’t know what frames I am referring to, here’s a screenshot:

What’s worse is that I can’t use the following macro

to move them either. These need to be put into edit mode like every other UI element.

You don’t have a
ArenaEnemyMatchFrame1:ClearAllPoints()
before the
ArenaEnemyMatchFrame1:SetPoint(...)

That said, the current Arena UI is marked for deprecation so that frame will possibly not exist in 11.2.

How would the macro go then?

/run ArenaEnemyMatchFrame1:ClearAllPoints() FocusFrame:ClearAllPoints() ArenaEnemyMatchFrame1:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,-350,70)FocusFrame:SetUserPlaced(true)

It doesn’t work unfortunately. :confused:

Still getting the LUA error.

I hope that means that they will be merged into the current Arena Frames element.

What’s the error?

I just get the LUA error box but no text shows in it.

Forum messing up the text formatting. I fixed the macro in my previous post.

The macro worked thank you!

I’ll still need to play with the coordinates a bit, but at least I know the command for moving those UI elements now.

Okay, so a follow up.

When pressing the macro, it moves the frame down for only a limited amount of time before resetting to the default position.

I want to see if creating an addon will help. Do you know what the correct LUA code for the macro would be to enter into https://addon.bool.no/?

Everything except /run but if it’s resetting with the macro there’s some event firing thats resetting things and you’ll need to hook into that.

12

Event firing, as in another addon could be causing it to reset?

Try changing the macro to:

/run FocusFrame:SetUserPlaced(true) ArenaEnemyMatchFramesContainer:ClearAllPoints() ArenaEnemyMatchFramesContainer:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,-350,70)

You will have to re-adjust the position to your liking but it doesn’t look like the parent container frame gets moved.

Much better. :+1:

This macro moves all of the frames as opposed to each individual one.
