Changing a tag on mouseover.

[Waverian]

So I'm looking for a way to do this but they all seem kind of hack-y. I originally tried adding it to my frames OnEnter script but oUF seems to ignore changing a tag.

I tried moving it to the health tag and adding UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT to the tag events, but... It doesn't actually fire for the tag. It fires fine if I register the event on a frame of my own, but not for my tag.

oUF.TagEvents['[magsshealthperc]'] = 'UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT UNIT_HEALTH UNIT_MAXHEALTH'
oUF.Tags['[magsshealthperc]'] = function(unit)
	local cur, max = UnitHealth(unit), UnitHealthMax(unit)
	local r, g, b = oUF.ColorGradient(cur / max, unpack(oUF.colors.smooth))
	
	if _G[GetMouseFocus():GetName()].unit == 'target' then
		return oUF.Tags['[curhp]'](unit)
	else
		return format('|cff%02x%02x%02x%s%%|r', r * 255, g * 255, b * 255, floor(cur / max * 100))
	end
end

I can get the code to work if I set my tag to frequently update but that's a lot of unnecessary processing I'd rather avoid. Are there any more elegant alternatives to this?

oUF_Caellian has a PvP tag that shows on mouseover on the player and target frame. What if you used that code and had two tags. One that hid on mouseover and another that showed?

self:SetScript("OnEnter", function(self) self.Status1:SetAlpha(1); self.Status2:SetAlpha(0); UnitFrame_OnEnter(self) end) 
self:SetScript("OnLeave", function(self) self.Status1:SetAlpha(0); self.Status2:SetAlpha(1); UnitFrame_OnLeave(self) end)

Something along these lines, maybe.

Oh, two tags. That's clever and will work out great. Thanks!
