I haven't responded because you posted early in the morning and I just woke up.

Are you getting any lua errors (sometimes may only show up after a /reload)? Otherwise, if you post the code you're using I can see if I can figure out what's wrong.

O srry did i woke u up? ;-) No i dont get any error's and im using
this code in my lay-out

if( unit == 'player') then
	self.ThreatBar = CreateFrame("StatusBar", self:GetName()..'_ThreatBar', UIParent)
	self.ThreatBar:SetPoint('CENTER', UIParent, 'CENTER', 0, 0)
	self.ThreatBar:SetHeight(10)
	self.ThreatBar:SetWidth(150)
	
	self.ThreatBar:SetStatusBarTexture(texture)
	self.ThreatBar:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
	self.ThreatBar:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 0)
	
	self.ThreatBar.Text = self.ThreatBar:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY', 'GameFontHighlightSmall')
	self.ThreatBar.Text:SetPoint('CENTER', self.ThreatBar)
	
	self.ThreatBar.bg = self.ThreatBar:CreateTexture(nil, 'BORDER')
	self.ThreatBar.bg:SetAllPoints(self.ThreatBar)
	self.ThreatBar.bg:SetTexture(0,0,0)
	
	self.ThreatBar.useRawThreat = false
end

Just to make sure, have you already defined texture and backdrop?

[Ferous]

What wurmfood said, you may need to define the BG and texture i.e.

self.ThreatBar:SetStatusBarTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\oUF_Novel\\Media\\statusbar")
	self.ThreatBar:SetBackdrop("Interface\\AddOns\\oUF_Novel\\Media\\statusbar")

Or what ever your path is, or if you defined it earlier in your layout.

ive got local textures so that isnt the problem.

[p3lim]

3rd argument in CreateFrame should be self, not UIParent

Were you able to get it working? If not, send me your layout and I will see if I can find the problem.
