Real Mob Health

Version: 2.18

by: SDPhantom [More]

Notice:
On February 18th, 2020, Blizzard released a hotfix that enables mob health to be displayed in the Default UI.
RealMobHealth has run its course and is now obsolete. I thank everyone for their support during the lifetime of this addon.

For existing users running the Default UI, here's a list of addons that'll provide an alternative to the UITweaks module.

2.18 (2020-01-11)
-Modified death detection to hold onto data a little longer to prevent mobs with reincarnation mechanics from spamming messages
-Internal timers now use C_Timer instead of OnUpdate to try to combat "No player named <Player> is currently playing." spam after being minimized

2.17 (2019-12-13)
-Added usage of INSTANCE_CHAT as a fallback for BATTLEGROUND. (Reports are saying BATTLEGROUND is defunct)

2.16 (2019-12-12)
-Added usage of BATTLEGROUND addon channel
-RAID/PARTY addon channels now check specifically for the home group category instead of all

2.15 (2019-12-11)

-Fixed TargetFrame text not checking options on creation
-Added health text to the GameTooltip's StatusBar

It's showing up fine on my end. Could be a conflict with another addon.

end

Edit: Fixed another load order issue

Thanks for making this, it's awesome. I was even able to my make own plugin for Elvui that adds a "[health:real]" tag so I don't have to edit anything every time I update.

Code:

ElvUF.Tags.Events['health:real'] = 'UNIT_HEALTH_FREQUENT UNIT_MAXHEALTH UNIT_CONNECTION PLAYER_FLAGS_CHANGED'
ElvUF.Tags.Methods['health:real'] = function(unit)
	local status = UnitIsDead(unit) and L["Dead"] or UnitIsGhost(unit) and L["Ghost"] or not UnitIsConnected(unit) and L["Offline"]

	if (status) then
		return status
	else
		local cur,max
		if not RealMobHealth then
			max = UnitHealthMax(unit)
			cur = UnitHealth(unit)
		else
			cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit)
		end

		return E:GetFormattedText('CURRENT_PERCENT', cur, max)
	end
end

if anyone is interested. Seems to be working great so far.

How can I change the font in the unit frames? I made a little script myself before using your addon but that doest seem to work anymore.

I want to change my frame and the target frames font size to 11 and having no outline.

I looked in your addon and I only see 1 line regarding font and changing that doesn't seem to have worked.

The reason I want to change it is by default (blizzards default) the font size is too bug for the health bar and I want it smaller so it fits in nicely.

I hope you can give me a pointer to what I need to change.

The only custom font setting used is for the nameplates. The TargetFrame is inherited from TextStatusBarText just like the PlayerFrame text. If you call TextStatusBarText:SetFont(), this'll propagate down and apply to both the PlayerFrame and TargetFrame along with the XP and reputation bars at the bottom of the screen.

Alternatively, you can access the FontStrings individually like this:

Code:

TargetFrameHealthBar.TextString
TargetFrameHealthBar.LeftText
TargetFrameHealthBar.RightText
TargetFrameManaBar.TextString
TargetFrameManaBar.LeftText
TargetFrameManaBar.RightText

WoahThickFrames seems to be working fine out of the box. RealMobHealth doesn't come preloaded with health values, you still have to discover them.

function UnitHealth(unit) local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return cur; end
function UnitHealthMax(unit) local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return max; end

This patch code was made specifically for ElvUI because it stored local references to these functions and this overwrote them. Putting them in SUF overwrites the global functions and causes the entire UI to crash.

SUF has a weird way of defining their tag functions as strings in modules/tags.lua. These are loaded by ShadowUF:OnInitialize() in ShadowedUnitFrames.lua. What I ended up doing is create my own function environment for these tag functions and inject it when SUF loads them.

This code comes in two parts. First, we define our environment. Put this at the top of ShadowedUnitFrames.lua.

Code:

local OLD_UnitHealth,OLD_UnitHealthMax=UnitHealth,UnitHealthMax;
local TagEnv=setmetatable({
	UnitHealth=function(unit)
		if not RealMobHealth then return OLD_UnitHealth(unit); end
		local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return cur;
	end;
	UnitHealthMax=function(unit)
		if not RealMobHealth then return OLD_UnitHealthMax(unit); end
		local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return max;
	end;
},{__index=_G,__newindex=function(_,k,v) _G[k]=v; end});

Around line 60, you'll find this metatable. Insert the highlighted line.

Code:

-- Setup tag cache
self.tagFunc = setmetatable({}, {
	__index = function(tbl, index)
		if( not ShadowUF.Tags.defaultTags[index] and not ShadowUF.db.profile.tags[index] ) then
			tbl[index] = false
			return false
		end

		local func, msg = loadstring("return " .. (ShadowUF.Tags.defaultTags[index] or ShadowUF.db.profile.tags[index].func or ""))
		if( func ) then
			func = func()
		elseif( msg ) then
			error(msg, 3)
		end

		setfenv(func, TagEnv)
		tbl[index] = func
		return tbl[index]
end})

PS: I ran into another loading issue with ElvUI and revised my patch code to compensate.

Code:

local OLD_UnitHealth,OLD_UnitHealthMax=UnitHealth,UnitHealthMax;
function UnitHealth(unit)
	if not RealMobHealth then return OLD_UnitHealth(unit); end
	local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return cur;
end
function UnitHealthMax(unit)
	if not RealMobHealth then return OLD_UnitHealthMax(unit); end
	local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return max;
end

In addition, the tooltip is still showing the old values. This can be fixed by inserting the highlighted line in ElvUI/Modules/Tooltip/Tooltip.lua line 460.

Code:

function TT:GameTooltipStatusBar_OnValueChanged(tt, value)
	if tt:IsForbidden() then return end
	if not value or not self.db.healthBar.text or not tt.text then return end
	local unit = select(2, tt:GetParent():GetUnit())
	if(not unit) then
		local GMF = GetMouseFocus()
		if(GMF and GMF.GetAttribute and GMF:GetAttribute("unit")) then
			unit = GMF:GetAttribute("unit")
		end
	end

	local _, max = tt:GetMinMaxValues()
	if(value > 0 and max == 1) then
		tt.text:SetFormattedText("%d%%", floor(value * 100))
		tt:SetStatusBarColor(TAPPED_COLOR.r, TAPPED_COLOR.g, TAPPED_COLOR.b) --most effeciant?
	elseif(value == 0 or (unit and UnitIsDeadOrGhost(unit))) then
		tt.text:SetText(_G.DEAD)
	else
		if unit and RealMobHealth then value,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); end
		tt.text:SetText(E:ShortValue(value).." / "..E:ShortValue(max))
	end
end

This doesn't seem to be working for my SuF, just shows [afk][()perhp] or 89% on my target frame for some reason

(also takes away all of my edits on the target frame, level, name, widget edits etc.)
