Class Colored Names on Frames & No Background behind Name on Frames

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out a way I can create addons out of scripts from a addon I installed. When I use the addon however, it breaks other addons of mine which aren't very convenient. So I'd like to simply extract these two scripts from the addon; one gives Class Colours to names on the player & target frames, the other Removes the background behind the players name on the target frame.

Code for Class Coloured Names:

Lua Code:

function RunClassColorsOnHealthBars()
-- Включение цвета классов на полосах здоровья
local UnitIsPlayer, UnitIsConnected, UnitClass, RAID_CLASS_COLORS = UnitIsPlayer, UnitIsConnected, UnitClass,
    RAID_CLASS_COLORS
local _, class, c
local function colour(statusbar, unit)
    if UnitIsPlayer(unit) and UnitIsConnected(unit) and unit == statusbar.unit and UnitClass(unit) then
        _, class = UnitClass(unit)
        c = CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS and CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS[class] or RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]
        statusbar:SetStatusBarColor(c.r, c.g, c.b)
    end
end
hooksecurefunc("UnitFrameHealthBar_Update", colour)
hooksecurefunc("HealthBar_OnValueChanged", function(self)
    colour(self, self.unit)
end)
end

Code for removing bar behind the target frame name:

Lua Code:

function RunBlackNameBackground()
-- Изменяет бэкграунд на фреймах таргета и фокуса
hooksecurefunc("TargetFrame_CheckFaction",
function(self)
    self.nameBackground:SetVertexColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.01);
end)
end

Any idea on how I can make these into addons?

A quick and easy way is to copy/paste the code into addon.bool.no. You may have to open the .toc file in something like Notepad after you extract everything and make sure the Interface# is correct for your game client.

i used this website and made sure the interface # was correct, but it wasn't working after logging in.

You need to either remove the function enclosures or call them. I suggest removing them since the functions hooked already exist on load.

Lua Code:

-- Включение цвета классов на полосах здоровья
hooksecurefunc("HealthBar_OnValueChanged",function(self)
    local unit=self.unit;
    if UnitIsPlayer(unit) and UnitIsConnected(unit) then
        local _,class=UnitClass(unit);
        if class then
            self:SetStatusBarColor(ColorMixin.GetRGB(CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS and CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS[class] or RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]));
        end
    end
end);
 
-- Изменяет бэкграунд на фреймах таргета и фокуса
hooksecurefunc("TargetFrame_CheckFaction",function(self)
    self.nameBackground:SetVertexColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.01);
end);

PS: I cleaned up the code some. Hooking UnitFrameHealthBar_Update() was unnecessary as it ended up triggering HealthBar_OnValueChanged() anyway. Also while RAID_CLASS_COLORS inherits ColorMixin, CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS isn't so clearly defined as it's not a Blizzard variable. This is why :GetRGB() is called from ColorMixin instead of the color tables. Note '.' was used instead of ':' so the color table could be given to the function as a reference instead of it trying to take ColorMixin as self.
