oUF - Layout discussion - Page 24

I have a small question about cast bar time text formats.

I want the cast time text show the duration left on the cast, instead of counting up how far they are in the cast (not sure what to call that).

So instead of a two second cast going "0.0, 0.1, 0.2...1.8, 1.9, 2.0" I want it to go "2.0, 1.9, 1.8....0.2, 0.1, 0.0".

Hopefully that's clear enough, how can it be done? I've peeked around various layouts but can't figure it out. Thanks for your time.

WTB tags for basic colors in oUF :P

Code:

tags = {
	["[white]"]       = "|cffffffff"
	["[yellow]"]    = "|cffffff00"
	["[cyan]"] = "|cff00ffff"
}

etc

and stupid targeted pets got a dark blue health bar, want to display reaction color instead.
previously i used a dirty code in my OverrideUpdateHealth

Code:

	
if not t then
	if UnitPlayerControlled(unit) then 
		r, g, b = 0, 1, 0
	end
end

currently i got

Code:

	self.Health.colorDisconnected = true
	self.Health.colorTapping = true
	self.Health.colorClass = true
	self.Health.colorReaction = true

Can anyone give a deeper explanation? I don't understand how to use self:CustomDelayText() and self:CustomTimeText(), I just end up breaking stuff.

Sorry for the dumb question, but it's the only thing I couldn't figure out myself.

edit: I can't believe it was that obvious and yet I somehow still didn't do it right. Thanks, Philr (and Wimpface, and of course Haste). /sigh

This works for me, in the layout function:

Code:

            self.Castbar.CustomTimeText = function(self, duration)
                if self.casting then
                    self.Time:SetFormattedText("%.1f", self.max - duration)
                elseif self.channeling then
                    self.Time:SetFormattedText("%.1f", duration)
                end
            end

The colors you can do yourself, its a waste using tags for it.

The dark blue color you refer to is the return color of UnitSelectionColor(), this can be changed as you like.

but how to do that without using PreUpdateHealth, OverrideUpdateHealth or PostUpdateHealth

Hi there,

i have a little problem with the raid frames, sometimes the power bar goes along the screen, sometimes it happens with the healthbar :

Here

My code for spawning the raid frames is :

Code:

local raid = {}
for i = 1, 8 do
	local raidgroup = oUF:Spawn('header', 'oUF_Raid'..i)
	raidgroup:SetManyAttributes('groupFilter', tostring(i), 'showRaid', true, 'yOffSet', -6)
	table.insert(raid, raidgroup)
	if(i==1) then
		raidgroup:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 20, -190)
	elseif (i==5) then
		raidgroup:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 20, -350)
	else
		raidgroup:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', raid[i-1], 'TOPRIGHT', 10, 0)
	end		
	raidgroup:Show()
end

if i don't do the elseif all is going fine...

I think i'm doing something wrong, but what ?

haste · 01-14-09, 06:53 AM

Most likely a plug-in issue.

Rostok · 01-14-09, 07:08 AM

I use Smooth, Experience and Reputation.
The only one i could think is the culript is Smooth.
I'll try without it.
Thanks for the quick reply

EDIT : This is it, it's Smooth the culript.

But i have another question :
Sometimes the background of the raid frames is going crazy and keep changing colors (like having a debuff on everyone in the raid). Is this related to Alterac and the event there or another pb with my layout ?

Alkar · 01-14-09, 10:09 AM

Okay super dumb question... I'm getting this down finally after forever but i cant seem to figure out how to put in and absolute Heath number then go down from there.. say u have 10000hp and as u get beat down it goes down.. not sure if i have to create an OVERLAY and add it to that or what .. i know dumb question

Bruners · 01-14-09, 10:17 AM

Code:

oUF.Tags["[health1000hp]"] = function(unit)
  local m, n = UnitHealthMax(unit), UnitHealth(unit)
  return m == 0 and 0 or n ~= m and string.format("-%s|r", (m - n)) or m == n and m
end

would display 0 if you got 0 health, full health if you got full and how much health you are missing. Was this what you wanted? Else you can just choose to display UnitHealth()

thats perfect thank you..

Also one more question i cant get my stoopid party frames to show am i doin somethign wrong???

Code:

local party = oUF:Spawn('header', 'oUF_Party')
party:SetPoint('TOP', UIParent, 'TOPLEFT', 0, 500)
party:SetManyAttributes(
	"showParty", true,   
	"showRaid", false,   
	"columnSpacing", 10,   
	"unitsPerColumn", 1,   
	"maxColumns", 4,   
	"columnAnchorPoint", "LEFT",   
	"xOffset", 20   
)
party:SetAttribute("template", "oUF_Party")

when i added
party:show()
also want it to hide when in a raid :P

Sorry for so many questions

Bruners · 01-14-09, 11:00 AM

you need to do a check then, as I don't know how you spawn your frames this will be provisional

Code:

if(GetNumRaidMembers() > 5) then
  party:Hide()
  raid:Show()
else
  party:Show()
end

in this you should add an in combat check to avoid secure bull crap, look at other layouts that got both raid frames and party frames.

Worked perfectly thank ya Bruners

Ur help has been great

Alkar · 01-14-09, 12:03 PM

As far as the custom tags

Code:

oUF.Tags["[health1000hp]"] = function(unit)
  local m, n = UnitHealthMax(unit), UnitHealth(unit)
  return m == 0 and 0 or n ~= m and string.format("-%s|r", (m - n)) or m == n and m
end

how would i incorperate that in??

Would it be a OverLAY that i have to add to get it on the health bar or would it be the same as say the way ya added chara name or lvl or whatnot ?

ObbleYeah · 01-14-09, 12:08 PM

Getting some issues with my power update.

Code:

local updatePower = function(self, event, unit, bar, min, max)
	if(UnitIsDead(unit) or UnitIsGhost(unit)) then
		bar:SetValue(0)
	elseif(not UnitIsConnected(unit)) then
		bar.value:SetText()
	elseif unit=="player" or unit=="target" then 
	    bar.value:SetFormattedText('%s/%s', numberize(min), floor(min/max*100))
		
		local _, ptype = UnitPowerType(unit)
		local color = self.colors.power[ptype]
		if(color) then bar.value:SetTextColor(color[1], color[2], color[3]) end
	end
end

I want my self.Power.value to colour by powertype, but after several different methods i'm still stuck with black colouring and a headache
