"Texture" UnitGetTotalHealAbsorbs

Hello,

does someone know how the "totalHealAbsorb" Texture works.

It looks like a blurred shadow which appears on all healthbars similar to the dmg-absorb texture but I couldn't find anything related to its appearance.

Example

Blizzard-Code

Wiki

Basically I want to know how it(shadow) is created/get its texture from and if it is possible to change the appearance of it.

I appreciate any help :)

Bliz. unit frames are configured using the UnitFrame_Initialize function. If the unit has a myHealPredictionBar, it gets passed to this function as one of it's parameters which is assigned to:

Code:

self.myHealPredictionBar = myHealPredictionBar

When called, the UnitFrameHealPredictionBars_Update function checks if the frame has a .myHealPredictionBar and if so, updates it.

Ok ty, but I dont get how the shadow overlay is generated/where the texture comes from.

If it is the same as healprediction it has to be color based and called somewhere within the code?

Code:

<Texture name="MyHealPredictionBarTemplate" virtual="true" file="Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-StatusBar">

                <Color r="0.0" g="0.827" b="0.765"/>

</Texture>

in UnitFrameUtil_UpdateFillBarBase it does the juggling of setting various bar positions depending on the bars/textures passed.

Something like:

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("StatusBar")
f:SetSize(100, 40)
f:SetPoint("LEFT", 20, 0)
f:SetStatusBarTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-StatusBar")
f:SetStatusBarColor(1, 0.5, 0.5)
f.t1 = f:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK", 1)
f.t1:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-StatusBar")
f.t1:SetVertexColor(0, 0, 0, 0.5)
f.t1:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", f, "TOP")
f.t1:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT")

Thats exactly what I was looking for.

I wasn't sure if it will take the statusbar texture or just draws some gradient like the healprediction overlay.

Since I use texture replacements for pretty much everything in the UI I wasn't sure about the appearance.

There are a few abilitys that will apply the shadow but mostly dk(unholy) related and since I am not a healer or dk player I can't rly force these events.

Thank you!
