Questions Regarding oUF_Fail

[lerb]

I have a module in my UI that skins the mirror bar and the BG start timer bar.

Here's the code used for the BG timer, hope it can point you in the right direction;

-- skinning
local function SkinIt(bar)
    for i=1, bar:GetNumRegions() do
        local region = select(i, bar:GetRegions())
        if region:GetObjectType() == "Texture" then
            region:SetTexture(nil)
        elseif region:GetObjectType() == "FontString" then
            region:SetFont(LeUI.media.font, 11, LeUI.media.fontflag)
        end
    end
    bar:SetScale(1)
    bar:SetSize(160, 16)    
    bar:SetStatusBarTexture(LeUI.media.texture)
    
    -- !beautycase border
    CreateBorderLight(bar, LeUI.media.bordersize, LeUI.bordercolor, LeUI.bordercolor, LeUI.bordercolor, 2)
    
    -- backdrop
    local backdrop = select(1, bar:GetRegions())
    backdrop:SetTexture(LeUI.media.blank)
    backdrop:SetVertexColor(unpack(LeUI.media.backdropcolor))
    backdrop:SetAllPoints(bar)
end
 
local function SkinBlizzTimer(self, event)
    for _, b in pairs(TimerTracker.timerList) do
        if not b["bar"].skinned then
            SkinIt(b["bar"])
            b["bar"].skinned = true
        end
    end
end
 
local bgtimer = CreateFrame("Frame")
bgtimer:RegisterEvent("START_TIMER")
bgtimer:SetScript("OnEvent", SkinBlizzTimer)

Thanks for the replies and the suggestions. Yesterday and today I've been working with Choonster over on the WoW Macro & UI forum, and he was able to get the TimerTrackerTimer bars to skin correctly using this code:

local function SkinBar(barName)
    local bar;
        if type(barName) == "string" then
        bar = _G[barName]
    else
        bar = barName
        barName = bar:GetName()
    end
    bar:SetParent(UIParent)
    bar:SetScale(1)
    bar:SetHeight(16)
    bar:SetWidth(280)
    bar:SetBackdropColor(0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
    
    for _, region in pairs({ bar:GetRegions() }) do
        if region.GetTexture and region:GetTexture() == "SolidTexture" then
            region:Hide()
        end
    end
    
    local border = _G[barName.."Border"] or _G[barName.."StatusBarBorder"]
    border:Hide()
    
    local background = bar:CreateTexture(barName.."Background", "BACKGROUND")
    background:SetTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
    background:SetAllPoints(bar)
    background:SetVertexColor(.15,.15,.15,.75)
    
    local statusbar = _G[barName.."StatusBar"]
    statusbar:SetAllPoints(bar)
    
    local text = _G[barName.."Text"] or _G[barName .."StatusBarTimeText"]
    text:SetFont(cfg.font, 14, "THINOUTLINE")
    text:ClearAllPoints()
    text:SetPoint("CENTER", statusbar, 0, 1)
    
    local glow = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, bar)
    glow:SetFrameLevel(0)
    glow:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", -5, 5)
    glow:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", 5, -5)
    lib.gen_backdrop(glow)
end
 
-- mirror castbar!
lib.gen_mirrorcb = function(f)
    for _, barName in pairs({"MirrorTimer1", "MirrorTimer2", "MirrorTimer3"}) do
        SkinBar(barName)
    end
end
 
-- timers
TimerTracker:HookScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    if event == "START_TIMER" then
        for i, timer in ipairs(self.timerList) do
            SkinBar(timer)
        end
    end
end)

However, once the large digit 10, 9, 8, 7, etc countdown begins, the TimerTrackerTimer bar does not automatically hide itself and stays visible until a /reload of the UI.

He's not seeing a reason why the TimerTrackerTimer bar isn't hiding itself and so, I'm asking here again to see if anyone sees anything funny or has a suggestion.

Thanks!

Choonster from the WoW Macro & UI forum finally did get this figured out after a few attempts.

Find the following code around line 570 in lib.lua:

lib.gen_mirrorcb = function(f)
    for _, bar in pairs({'MirrorTimer1','MirrorTimer2','MirrorTimer3',}) do
      for i, region in pairs({_G[bar]:GetRegions()}) do
        if (region.GetTexture and region:GetTexture() == 'SolidTexture') then
          region:Hide()
        end
      end
      _G[bar..'Border']:Hide()
      _G[bar]:SetParent(UIParent)
      _G[bar]:SetScale(1)
      _G[bar]:SetHeight(16)
      _G[bar]:SetWidth(280)
      _G[bar]:SetBackdropColor(.1,.1,.1)
      _G[bar..'Background'] = _G[bar]:CreateTexture(bar..'Background', 'BACKGROUND', _G[bar])
      _G[bar..'Background']:SetTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
      _G[bar..'Background']:SetAllPoints(bar)
      _G[bar..'Background']:SetVertexColor(.15,.15,.15,.75)
      _G[bar..'Text']:SetFont(cfg.font, 14, "THINOUTLINE")
      _G[bar..'Text']:ClearAllPoints()
      _G[bar..'Text']:SetPoint('CENTER', MirrorTimer1StatusBar, 0, 1)
      _G[bar..'StatusBar']:SetAllPoints(_G[bar])
      --glowing borders
      local h = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, _G[bar])
      h:SetFrameLevel(0)
      h:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-5,5)
      h:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",5,-5)
      lib.gen_backdrop(h)
    end
  end

And replace it with this:

local function SkinBar(barName)
    local bar;
    if type(barName) == "string" then
        bar = _G[barName]
    else
        bar = barName
        barName = bar:GetName()
    end
    bar:SetParent(UIParent)
    bar:SetScale(1)
    bar:SetHeight(16)
    bar:SetWidth(280)
    bar:SetBackdropColor(0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
    
    for _, region in pairs({ bar:GetRegions() }) do
        if region.GetTexture and region:GetTexture() == "SolidTexture" then
            region:Hide()
        end
    end
    
    local border = _G[barName.."Border"] or _G[barName.."StatusBarBorder"]
    border:Hide()
    
    local background = (bar.bar or bar):CreateTexture(barName.."Background", "BACKGROUND")
    background:SetTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
    background:SetAllPoints(bar)
    background:SetVertexColor(.15,.15,.15,.75)
    
    local statusbar = _G[barName.."StatusBar"]
    statusbar:SetAllPoints(bar)
    
    local text = _G[barName.."Text"] or _G[barName .."StatusBarTimeText"]
    text:SetFont(cfg.font, 14, "THINOUTLINE")
    text:ClearAllPoints()
    text:SetPoint("CENTER", statusbar, 0, 1)
    
    local glow = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, (bar.bar or bar))
    glow:SetFrameLevel(0)
    glow:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", -5, 5)
    glow:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", 5, -5)
    lib.gen_backdrop(glow)
end
 
-- mirror castbar!
lib.gen_mirrorcb = function(f)
    for _, barName in pairs({"MirrorTimer1", "MirrorTimer2", "MirrorTimer3"}) do
        SkinBar(barName)
    end
end
 
-- timers
TimerTracker:HookScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    if event == "START_TIMER" then
        for i, timer in ipairs(self.timerList) do
            SkinBar(timer)
        end
    end
end)

Thanks again to everyone who was willing to give an attempt at helping me with this.
