I made a toc and lua file and tested the lua file with this code:

ObjectiveTrackerFrame:Hide();

and it works. It is able to hide the Objective Frame. I thought I would just try a new addon for hiding the Covenant Minimap Button:

GarrisonLandingPageMinimapButton:Hide();

This does not work.

But it does work as a macro.

In short why can't I just have a plain .lua file with:

GarrisonLandingpageMinimapButton:Hide();

It works fine when I do that with the ObjectiveTrackerFrame. And also why does it work as a macro but not in the lua file? Thanks for any assistance.

GarrisonLandingPage is part of a loadondemand addon

https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-source/blob/live/AddOns/Blizzard_GarrisonUI/Blizzard_GarrisonLandingPage.xml#L333

In your TOC you can make your addon loadondemand with, or dependent on the blizzard addon

## LoadOnDemand: 1
## LoadWith: Blizzard_GarrisonUI

Or you can load the blizzard addon from lua

UIParentLoadAddOn("Blizzard_GarrisonUI")

Thanks for the help. I'm still actually confused though. I was able to set the alpha to 0 and hide it that way. That is not ideal, but it did work. Why does this work and not Hide()?

GarrisonLandingPageMinimapButton:SetAlpha(0);

This addition of SetAlpha(0) was done before trying your suggestion.

Try something like

GarrisonLandingPageMinimapButton.Show = function() end
GarrisonLandingPageMinimapButton:Hide()

In reply to Ketho17:

Thanks that worked. Also, the second line wasn't actually necessary. I appreciate the help.
