I updated my post below. I'd rather have a list of all the alt action bars, then be able to set a color to each one. But if that's too complicated then just searching a substring in the alt text would be best.

I can access the Blizzard statusbar colors with their function they provide:

Lua Code:

local texture, r, g, b = UnitAlternatePowerTextureInfo(unit,textureIndex,[timerFrameIndex])

Being able to set a custom color per bar with every bar listed is not doable however. You can now enable 'Blizzard coloring' for statusbars but you must disable class coloring and not use the color fade option (obviously).

/spb > Bar Settings > Statusbar > Coloring Method

The color option doesn't work on stone guardians, my guess is they're using colored textures instead.
So the best thing to do is allow us to change the color of each type of bar thru a table.

On the stone guardians fight, the color of the bar is important. Came up with a simple way to do this. Have a lookup table for the name. So if powerbar text has a certain name, it looks the name up in a table then applies a color. I did some looking, and I think there is a table of all the bars or a way to build a table. This way you could just have a list, and put in an override color for the bars you want. For now I'm going to hack the mod to show the color for the guardians. I added this function, but checking for exact text wouldn't be a good idea as an option, but searching for a substring would. Code: local function SetColorBasedOnText() local Label = select(10,UnitAlternatePowerInfo('player')) local r, g, b = 0, 0, 0 if Label == 'Jade Petrification' then -- green r, g, b = 0, 1, 0 elseif Label == 'Jasper Petrification' then -- red r, g, b = 1, 0, 0 elseif Label == 'Amethyst Petrification' then -- purple r, g, b = 1, 0, 1 elseif Label == 'Cobalt Petrification' then -- blue r, g, b = 0, 0, 1 end SimplePowerBarStatus:SetStatusBarColor(r, g, b) end Last edited by galvin : 10-14-12 at 07:00 PM.

I tried doing this my self, but the bar wouldn't move vertically.

No, I've been reworking this addon a lot and I'll be providing a way to use the addon or switch to the default blizzard frames and place them where you'd like.

I know you're still around so hopefully you can do a pass on it to clean it up. I'm sure they'll be plenty of raid encounters using the power bar.

In any addon the only things that should be global blizzard UI stuff. Globals are slower than upvalues too. And can risk having another mod conflict.

Anyway good job with the addon, wish I found it sooner.

When I first made this addon I was still relatively new to Lua coding and how frame elements were created / used.

I will be updating this for MoP Beta and will be adding those silly timers that blizzard uses for their AlternatePowerBar.

I'm glad you're enjoying the addon

Code:

function SimplePowerBar:CreatePowerBar()
	db = self.db.profile
	local frame = self.frame
	local SimplePowerBarBG = CreateFrame("Frame", "SimplePowerBarBG", frame)
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetFrameStrata(db.frameStrata)
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetFrameLevel(db.frameLevel)
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetHeight(db.height)
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetWidth(db.width)
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,"CENTER", db.x, db.y)
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetBackdrop({
		bgFile = db.PanelTex, 
		edgeFile = db.PanelTex, 
		tile = false, tileSize = 0, edgeSize = db.borderSize, 
		insets = { left = db.borderInset, right = db.borderInset, top = db.borderInset, bottom = db.borderInset}
	})
	
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetMovable(true)
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetClampedToScreen(true)
	SimplePowerBarBG:SetUserPlaced(true)
	
	local SimplePowerBarLock = SimplePowerBarBG:CreateTexture("SimplePowerBarLock","OVERLAY",nil)
	SimplePowerBarLock:SetTexture("Interface\\GLUES\\CharacterSelect\\Glues-AddOn-Icons")
	SimplePowerBarLock:SetWidth(8)
	SimplePowerBarLock:SetHeight(8)	
	SimplePowerBarLock:SetTexCoord(0.25,0.48,0,1)
	SimplePowerBarLock:SetAlpha(1)
	SimplePowerBarLock:SetPoint("CENTER",SimplePowerBarBG,"TOPRIGHT")
	
	local SimplePowerBarStatus = CreateFrame("StatusBar", "SimplePowerBarStatus", SimplePowerBarBG)
	SimplePowerBarStatus:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", SimplePowerBarBG, "TOPLEFT", 1, -1)
	SimplePowerBarStatus:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", SimplePowerBarBG, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -1, 1)	
		
	local SimplePowerBarText = SimplePowerBarStatus:CreateFontString("SimplePowerBarText", "OVERLAY")
		
	local SimplePowerBarLabel = SimplePowerBarStatus:CreateFontString("SimplePowerBarLabel", "OVERLAY")
end

These two lines
local SimplePowerBarText = SimplePowerBarStatus:CreateFontString("SimplePowerBarText", "OVERLAY")

local SimplePowerBarLabel = SimplePowerBarStatus:CreateFontString("SimplePowerBarLabel", "OVERLAY")

Problem is these don't become local for the rest of the addon. When you define a local value inside a function, the rest of the addon won't see it. For now I can just declare these two variables at the top of the addon then change those two lines to take the "local" out.

I know you're still around so hopefully you can do a pass on it to clean it up. I'm sure they'll be plenty of raid encounters using the power bar.
