oUF QuickHealth2

Version: r3
by: Coneko [More]

Adds QuickHealth-2.0 support to oUF.
QuickHealth is a library that provides unit health updates by predicting them based on combat log messages which makes it slightly faster than the built in unit health, even when frequentUpdates is enabled.

Works on all layouts and doesn't require any specific setting, including frequentUpdates.

Short clip of the plugin in action:

Changelog:

r3:

  • TOC bumped to 3.2. Tested as working as fast and quirky as ever without any change.

r2:
  • Frames with ignoreQuickHealth set won't be hooked. (That's frame.ignoreQuickHealth, not frame.Health.ignoreQuickHealth)

Known issues:
  • QuickHealth support is only added to elements, not to tags. That means your health tags will keep updating slowly, and slightly out of sync of your health bars.
  • QuickHealth calls for updates with it's own callback, which means standard events and callbacks will be disabled, causing errors for layouts and plugins that call events to update health values. Calling UpdateElement instead fixes these problems.
    Example: oUF_Banzai; oUF_Banzai.lua line 60: f:UNIT_MAXHEALTH("OnBanzaiUpdate", f.unit) edit to f:UpdateElement("Health")
  • QuickHealth only calculates predicted health for raid or party members for performance reasons, it falls back to the default (slower than frequentUpdates) method for other units. If you play a dps class you want to set frame.ignoreQuickHealth on your target and focus frames.

Both untested, Grid_QuickHealth is what I based oUF_QuickHealth2 on, so it should work, Blizz_QuickHealth is still using LibQuickHealth-1.0, so it might not work.

I was under the impression that QuickHealth, while not as accurate and quirkier than frequentUpdates, still gave updates faster.
But since these things are prone to placebo effects, I'll test it more accurately.

Update: Tested again and confirmed it working. QuickHealth speeds up updates compared to frequentUpdates about as much frequentUpdates does compared to not using it, so it's still worth using from my point of view.
I'm going to link a video of the test soon.

That being said. You are free to write whatever you want .

Now that's an proper description compared to "Adds QuickHealth-2.0 support to oUF."

Is it the same as frequentUpdates ?
QuickHealth is a library that provides faster unit health updates by predicting them based on combat log messages and is slightly faster than frequentUpdates (which in turn is slightly faster than the default updating).

It doesn't matter if your layout has frequentUpdates enabled or not, oUF_QuickHealth will override that setting.
