"Too Many Anchors processed"

I have uploaded a patch that might help fix the error for Reticle Settings. Pretty much I've now clear anchors before set them. Hope this help.

Hi Divona,

I uninstalled my RecticleSettings via minion, then downloaded and installed your patched version but I am still getting that error

(I had Thurisaz Guildtools and ZrMM off at the time too as they were causing the same error individually as well)

Just to confirm please

Line 1005: ctrl:ClearAnchors() Line 1006: ctrl:SetAnchor(point, ctrlTo, relativePoint) Line 1007: ctrl:SetAnchor(point, ctrlTo, relativePoint)

Line 1006 is okay to leave, just can't have two of the same line?

Something about the dynamic anchors associated with the Tooltips also seem to be capable of causing this error. I don't have much yet, but if you want to see what I mean just create a control and anchor it directly to one of them.

@Sp00sty

he means line 1007 needs to have a double dash so that it isn't parsed. Like so:

Line 1005: ctrl:ClearAnchors()
Line 1006: ctrl:SetAnchor(point, ctrlTo, relativePoint)
Line 1007: --ctrl:SetAnchor(point, ctrlTo, relativePoint)

Thanks,

I understood to comment it out, I was just wondering why the first line was okay but the double wasn't.

No need to explain, I don't know enough about Lua coding, it just appeared both lines were doing the same thing but once was okay.

Cheers

It's appear that "Too many anchors processed" cause by installed many of the AddOns that:

1. Use LibAddonMenu-1.0 library.
2. Have many options in their settings panel.

When all the AddOns that called upon LibAddonMenu continue to pile up together, you'll like to get the error, as if the game client or library has reach it limit.

Could someone test this theory out by create an AddOns with over 300-500 lines of

LAM:AddHeader
LAM:AddCheckbox
LAM:AddSlider
LAM:AddDropdown
LAM:AddColorPicker

and see if the error pop up?
