Status Bar Texture Distortion

[Sweetsour]

I'm getting an odd issue with a vertical status bar I'm working on. When I test out its appearance and not running, the texture is fine, but when the status bar is running, the texture is completely distorted.

This is when the bar is not running.


This is when the bar is running.


This is my code:

local BackdropSB = {
    bgFile   = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Background",
    edgeFile = nil,
    tile = true,
    tileSize = 16
}
 
-- Earth Elemental Duration Status Bar
local EarthElementalBar = CreateFrame("StatusBar","EarthElementalBar",EarthElementalBG);
EarthElementalBar:SetOrientation("VERTICAL");
EarthElementalBar:SetStatusBarTexture("Interface\\addons\\ShamanAuras\\media\\statusbar\\Glamour5.tga");
EarthElementalBar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false);
EarthElementalBar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetVertTile(false);
EarthElementalBar:SetWidth(17);
EarthElementalBar:SetHeight(175);
EarthElementalBar:SetFrameStrata("LOW");
EarthElementalBar:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,"CENTER",0,0);
EarthElementalBar:SetStatusBarColor(0.84,0.65,0.51);
 
EarthElementalBar.bg = EarthElementalBar:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND");
EarthElementalBar.bg:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-StatusBar");
EarthElementalBar.bg:SetAllPoints(true);
EarthElementalBar.bg:SetVertexColor(0,0,0);
 
EarthElementalBar:SetMinMaxValues(0,15);
 
-- Code when bar is running
SSA.EarthElementalBar:SetScript("OnUpdate",function(self,elapsed)
local expires = startTime + 15;
local remaining = parseTime((expires - GetTime()),true);
 
    if ((tonumber(remaining) or 0) > 0) then
        self.text:SetText(remaining);
        self:SetValue(tonumber(remaining));
    else
        self:SetScript("OnUpdate",nil);
    end
end);

Thanks for any help!

After further investigation, it looks like the texture isn't rotating when the status bar is running. Not sure why that is

EDIT: Phew, after many hours of googling and digging, I found the answer:

statusbar:SetRotatesTexture(true)

Thanks for pointing that out.

I checked how I did it in oUF_Diablo for WoW 6.0. The player orbs I used vertical statusbar textures.

Setting statusbar:SetOrientation("VERTICAL") was enough to get it right. At least for Warlords of Draenor.

But maybe the premise is different. The orb textures are square and I do not need to use
Texture:SetHorizTile()
Texture:SetVertTile()
