Player targeting Party unit check

[sacrife]

I'm trying to create a check to check if me (as a healer) is targeting one in the party and if so highlight that frame so I know which one I'm targeting without looking out my target frame.

I have no idea where to start doing this.

Also. If I have show self in party set to true and I have a check for hp deficit for partymembers 1 through 4, how do I check myself? Currently I'm just doing a test for if min~=max and (unit=='party1' etc to 4)
Using 5 won't work.

woot? some code would help.

As for the selected unit highlighting, take a look at Freebgrid.

You'd need to register for the PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED event, and check each frame's unit when it fired:

local HighlightTarget = function(self)
     if UnitIsUnit(target, self.unit) then
          -- show the highlight on this frame
     else
          -- hide the highlight on this frame
     end
end

Then, in your spawn function:

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED", HighlightTarget)
table.insert(self.__elements, HighlightTarget)

If you want to create a special texture or something to show, do it in the same place.

The unit on the "player frame in party" is just player. In order to distinguish between it and the "normal" player frame, you'll need to check something else. For example, you could check if the frame's parent is your party group header. Or, if your party frames are a different size than your player frame, check that.
