Talk:Making draggable frames

Its all very well that we can drag frames around....
But this can in some circumstanses make the frame disapear (for instance when changing resolution).

So how would one move a frame that cant be reached by mouse?
One possibility would be to make a slash command that moves the frame to a default position...
Im yet to find a way to do this.
I have tried stuff like

getglobal(<nameOfFrame>):SetPoint("CENTER","UIParent","CENTER",0,0)

but this does not seem to work.

Answer

If u do a

getglobal(<nameOfFrame>):ClearAllPoints()

before using SetPoint(...) it will work..

Draggable Frames in Vanilla

How to move the unit frames without using an addon

Examples:

Move player unit frame:

/script PlayerFrame:SetMovable(1)PlayerFrame:StartMoving() — Then move around your mouse and the frame will move.

Stop moving player unit frame:

/script PlayerFrame:StopMovingOrSizing()PlayerFrame:SetMovable()

Move target unit frame:

/script TargetFrame:SetMovable(1)TargetFrame:StartMoving()

Stop moving target unit frame:

/script TargetFrame:StopMovingOrSizing()TargetFrame:SetMovable()

Target of target will move after the target unit frame

P.S. Сode to get the name of mouseover frame:

/script ChatFrame1:AddMessage("frame name: " .. GetMouseFocus():GetName())
