Addon Tutorial, got it to work, changed something, now I can't make it work again.

I am seriously at a loss here. I got this counter business to work, and then I tried to change the name from "MyFirstAddon" to "ControllerIcons" and it stopped working. Now I've changed everything back from what I can tell, and it still won't show up in the game.

XML

Code:

<GuiXml>

  <Controls>

    <TopLevelControl name="MyFirstAddon" mouseEnabled="true">

      <Dimensions x="200" y="42" />

      <Anchor point="CENTER" />

      

      <OnUpdate>

        MyFirstAddonUpdate()

      </OnUpdate>

      

      <OnMouseDown>

        MyFirstAddonReset()

      </OnMouseDown>

      

      <Controls>

        <Backdrop name="$(parent)BG" inherits="ZO_ThinBackdrop" />

        <Label name="$(parent)Counter" font="ZoFontWindowTitle" color="CFDCBD" wrapMode="ELLIPSIS" verticalAlignment="CENTER" text="Counter: ">

          <AnchorFill />

        </Label>

      </Controls>

    </TopLevelControl>

  </Controls>

</GuiXml>

LUA

Code:

local counter = 1



function MyFirstAddonUpdate()

  MyFirstAddonCounter:SetText(string.format("Counter: %d", counter))

  counter = counter + 1

end



function MyFirstAddonReset()

  counter = 0

end

Can someone please tell me where I'm being dumb at? Thanks.

Code:

<TopLevelControl name="MyFirstAddon" mouseEnabled="true">

If you change the name here, you'll need to change it in the LUA because of this code here also in the XML

Code:

 <Label name="$(parent)Counter" font="ZoFontWindowTitle" color="CFDCBD" wrapMode="ELLIPSIS" verticalAlignment="CENTER" text="Counter: ">

$(parent)Counder means it will evaluate to MyFirstAddonCounter

And you have to change the LUA here:

Lua Code:

MyFirstAddonCounter:SetText(string.format("Counter: %d", counter))

If you change it from MyFirstAddon, you'll need to replace all instances where it was. Once you change those, it should work.
