buttons and textures (a pro post on getting help) (from Phanx) (#needsalife))

DISCLAIMER! (In big red text!)
I'm really really really bored! So I attempted to make a good post for Phanx's sake

Anyways:

I feel like my buttons are screwed up somewhere >.> or I missed another stupid thing. Or I really did forget how to do stuff lua or rather in general.

Phanx (or someone else ;) ) please point out the error in my ways! all my buttons are the same texture even though they should be diffeent colors!

code (because I'm a good OP like that!)

Lua Code:

local use_Minimap = false --disabling this forces Click Menu to make a button
local button_location = { "CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, 0 }
local blizzard_theme = false
local color_normal = { 1, 1, 1, 0.5 }
local color_hover = { 1, 0, 1, 0.5 }
local color_pushed = { 1, 1, 0, 0.5 }
 
  local button = CreateFrame("Button", nil, mainframe)
  button:SetPoint(unpack(button_location))
  button:SetWidth(50)
  button:SetHeight(25)
 
  button:SetText("Menu")
  button:SetNormalFontObject("GameFontNormal")
 
  local ntex = button:CreateTexture()
  if blizzard_theme then
    ntex:SetTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-Panel-Button-Up")
  else
    ntex:SetTexture("Interface\\Buttons\\WHITE8x8")
    ntex:SetVertexColor("color_normal")
  end
  ntex:SetTexCoord(0, 0.625, 0, 0.6875)
  ntex:SetAllPoints()
  button:SetNormalTexture(ntex)
 
  local htex = button:CreateTexture()
  if blizzard_theme then
    htex:SetTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-Panel-Button-Highlight")
  else
    htex:SetTexture("Interface\\Buttons\\WHITE8x8")
    htex:SetVertexColor("color_hover")
  end
  htex:SetTexCoord(0, 0.625, 0, 0.6875)
  htex:SetAllPoints()
  button:SetHighlightTexture(htex)
 
  local ptex = button:CreateTexture()
  if blizzard_theme then
    ptex:SetTexture("Interface/Buttons/UI-Panel-Button-Down")
  else
    ptex:SetTexture("Interface\\Buttons\\WHITE8x8")
    ptex:SetVertexColor("color_pushed")
  end
  ptex:SetTexCoord(0, 0.625, 0, 0.6875)
  ptex:SetAllPoints()
  button:SetPushedTexture(ptex)
 
  button:SetScript('OnMouseUp', function(self, button)
    if button == "LeftButton" or button == "RightButton" then
      securecall(EasyMenu, menuList, menuFrame, self, 27, 190, 'MENU', 8)
    end
  end)
end

TL;DR
I need to go to bed and get some sleep been up for well over 48 hours at this point.....

for a more common style help post

Quote:

Me: "My button textures are all broke can I getz help"
Phanx: "post your code!"
Seerah: "post your code!"
Someone Else: "post your code!"
Me: It's this

Lua Code:

frame:SetTexture("texturename")

Phanx: /facepalm "Need MOAR CODEZ"
Me: I'm sorry Phanx I don't understand what mmore you need I gave you plenty!"
Phanx: Insert long rant about why Phanx should just give up and stop helping 10leej
Me: BUT I WANTZ HELP!
Seerah: "Post more code next time" /closethread

Dammit I'm going to sleep I'll let this all play out and look at all the replays later before I start posting more hypothetical scenarios for Phanx......

lua Code:

ntex:SetVertexColor("color_normal")

You're passing a string to SetVertexColor instead of the RGBA values it expects.

This is what you want:

lua Code:

ntex:SetVertexColor(unpack(color_normal))

This unpacks the color_normal table into the four numbers expected by SetVertexColor.

No point in replying when someone else already answered the question.
