    Hi everyone

    I'm new to LUA and now i'm searching for some help :)

    In an older thread jodyblau posted a wall of code into the forum about animations

    http://wowprogramming.com/forums/development/169

    Someone in this thread replied, that this is actually a very complicated bit of code.

    So i'm asking you :)

    Could someone post a minimal example for animations in WoW.

    thanks in advance

    Xers

    I don't have time to do more than this right now, but:

     if not PlayerFrame.ag then
    PlayerFrame.ag = PlayerFrame:CreateAnimationGroup()
    local ag = PlayerFrame.ag
    ag.trans1 = ag:CreateAnimation("Translation")
    ag.trans2 = ag:CreateAnimation("Translation")
    ag.scale = ag:CreateAnimation("Scale")
    ag.rot = ag:CreateAnimation("Rotation")
    ag.alpha = ag:CreateAnimation("Alpha")
 end

 local ag = PlayerFrame.ag

 ag.trans1:SetDuration(2.0)
 ag.trans1:SetOffset(200, 0)
 ag.trans1:SetOrder(1)

 ag.trans2:SetDuration(2.0)
 ag.trans2:SetOffset(0, -200)
 ag.trans2:SetOrder(2)

 ag.scale:SetDuration(2.0)
 ag.scale:SetScale(2.0, 2.0)
 ag.scale:SetOrder(3)

 ag.rot:SetDuration(2.0)
 ag.rot:SetDegrees(360)
 ag.rot:SetOrder(4)

 ag.alpha:SetDuration(2.0)
 ag.alpha:SetChange(-1.0)
 ag.alpha:SetOrder(5)

 PlayerFrame.ag:Play()
