Map filter check?

[SnowmanDK]

Is there no event for map filter toggle in the API?
I can't find one...

I am asking as I use a bunch of custom pins in one of my addons, and instead of adding a PinFilter for every single one, then I would like to combine some of them under a SINGLE filter.

There is no such event.

If I'm not mistaken, you are adding filters using the LinMapPins library, so take a look how it works - functions lib:AddPinFilter(...), lib:SetEnabled(...) and lib.OnMapChanged() in LibMapPins-1.0.lua.
I'm not really confident that it really works as it should be working. If you find any bugs, let me know.

Well I have been trying to use lib:SetEnabled(...) and libisable(...) to force pins to deactivate, but they don't react to me clicking the filter.

Sounds to me like I have to make a mess of the filters list to make it possible to toggle all the pins I use.
I was just hoping I could avoid that as I think it would clutter up the filters list

I don't want to make a timed check to see if every filter is on or off, as I know it would be VERY bad for performance.

LibMapPins creates one filter per pinType (category). So if you don't want to create filters by yourself, just merge more pins to one pinType. If you want different textures for each pin of the same pinType, in layout use function which will return correct texture. I have done the same in LoreBooks.

Earlier I did something like this:

local TYPE = pinData[ACHDataIndex.TYPE]
        if TYPE == 20 then
            pinType = PINS_AYLEID
        elseif TYPE == 21 then
            pinType = PINS_WWVAMP
        end
        LMP:CreatePin(pinType, {OtherTypeName}, pinData[ACHDataIndex.X], pinData[ACHDataIndex.Y])

But that caused issues with things like zrMiniMap.

I'll snoop around in your code
