GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor

Posted Apr 15 2011 8:19 PM by Rakka Rage , updated Apr 16 2011 12:52 AM by Rakka Rage

does anyone know how to attach the tooltip to the mouse? i have a simple 3 line addon that does attach it (i will worry about offset after) but it is missing some hook or call or something because it disappears sometimes... (mouse quickly between player & pet frames or raid or party frames)

function GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor(tooltip, parent, ...)
  tooltip:SetOwner(parent, "ANCHOR_CURSOR")
end

what am i missing?

thanks a lot

the addon tiptac does this correctly and i am trying to comprehend it and figure out what it is doing different... but was wondering if anyone might know?

local function mouset_anchor(frame)
  local x, y = GetCursorPosition();
  local scale = frame:GetEffectiveScale();
  frame:ClearAllPoints();
  frame:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", (x/scale + 20), (y/scale + 20));
end

hooksecurefunc("GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor",
  function(tooltip, parent)
    tooltip:SetOwner(parent, "ANCHOR_NONE");
    mouset_anchor(tooltip);
  end
);

local function mouset_OnUpdate(self, elapsed)
  mouset_anchor(self);
end

GameTooltip:HookScript("OnUpdate", mouset_OnUpdate);

this works... hrm. maybe there is a bug with ANCHOR_CURSOR or
