X and Y positions of Health and Mana within a frame.

Hello. I am currently using oUF_Nivaya, as my lua skills are 0, it has that handy in-game config. I do however know other kinds of code so reading through the lua files does end up making some sense to me, I have been able to figure out the fairly obvious.

I was wondering how I might go about go about moving the X and Y position of the mana bar within the Player and Target (and Focus etc) frames. I can move the X and Y position of the specific frames to high heaven, but I can't seem to specifically target the mana bar (or any specific bar within a frame).

I noticed these lines that I thought I could add to:

Code:

    ptWidth = 140,        -- Size Variables for Player and Target frames

    ptHeight = 28,

    ptHealthHeight = 22,

    ptManaHeight = 5,

So I tried adding this to the bottom:

Code:

    ptManaX = 5,

    ptManaY = 10,

Seemed logical enough, but nothing happened. Any tips?

Look for code that uses the call "SetPoint" as that determines the relative location to another UI object (or to the UIParent).

in oUF_Nivaya.lua :

Code:

        self.Power:SetPoint("LEFT")

        self.Power:SetPoint("RIGHT")

        self.Power:SetPoint("TOP", self.Health, "BOTTOM", 0, -1)

My instincts tell me that the "self.Health" beside "TOP" might have something to do with anchoring the mana to health. I mentioned in my first post something I tried but I actually did notice this section before and I tried out this:

Code:

        self.Power:SetPoint("LEFT", 5)

        self.Power:SetPoint("RIGHT")

        self.Power:SetPoint("TOP", 5, "BOTTOM", 0, -1)

Just to see what happened but nothing did. Any Suggestions?

I found another cluster of line very similar in the file init_and_config.lua :

Code:

 self.Power:SetPoint("LEFT", self.Portrait, "RIGHT", 2, 0)

 self.Power:SetPoint("RIGHT")

 self.Power:SetPoint("TOP", self.Health, "BOTTOM", 0, -1)

This was under :

Code:

function oUF_Nivaya:UpdatePortrait(self, unit)

And was also surrounded by SetPoints for Health as well, and also a lot of if's and elseif's. I didn't fiddle with this because I do not plan to have a portrait involved, so didn't think this would apply.

I'm probably way off but the last setpoint

Code:

self.Power:SetPoint("TOP", self.Health, "BOTTOM", 0, -1)

the 0 is the x offset and the -1 is the y offset. Try messing with the offset's only.

Thanks a lot, that link is great. There is so many pages about lua and WoW I found it nigh impossible to find a really good site like this via google. This is helpful for more than just info about the specific topic for me thanks.
