[ElvUI] Have Action bars show only in combat and mouse over? (2024)

I'm looking for a way to have my ElvUI action bars show when in combat and on mouse over (when out of combat).

The closest I've found to this functionality is the following code in the Visibility State box:
[exists]fade; [combat]show; hide

This shows the bar when in combat or when I have something targeted. I can live with this for now, but my ideal state would be for mouseover instead of (or in addition to) [exists].

If anyone knows how to do this, I would greatly appreciated it.

Also note that Im trying to avoid the addon Kong UI Hider because it doesn't seem to be getting updated anymore.

I have actually never tried ElvUI, but from the looks of it it might work with:
fade; [combat]show

Edit: That should work as long as fade would fade the action bar to 0% opacity

I'm using the latest version and ElvUI offers the option to show on Mouse Over

if that's what you want/need. I don't know if this'll automatically show the bars in combat but you said you could use [combat]show; hide for that.

Neither options work unfortunately, but thanks for the help. The ElvUI unitframes have an option called combat fade that has the functionality I want, but I have no idea how to inject that into the action bar options.

Code:

[combat]show; fade

I have tried that. For some reason, even though ElvUI is based on Bartender, it doesn't like that string. I even tried [combat] show; fade:0 but no luck there either.

It's odd that it doesn't work for you. For me it does what it's supposed to do. Maybe you could try to reinstall the ElvUI, who knows what's going on...

Oh, the mouseover check box works fine. What doesn't work is mouseover in addition to [combat]show; hide
The latter just completely overrides the mouseover option.

Ah, ok, now I understand.
Best option then would probably be to go to the Tukui/ElvUI forums directly and ask there.
