Lua Code:

local NamePlateHealthText={};
hooksecurefunc(NamePlateDriverFrame,"OnNamePlateCreated",function(self,base)--  Hook Nameplate creation
    local unitframe=base.UnitFrame;
 
    local health=unitframe.healthBar:CreateFontString(nil,"OVERLAY");
    health:SetFont("Fonts\\ArialN.ttf",10,"THICKOUTLINE");--    Fonts are easier to read when made from scratch rather than resizing an inherited one
    health:SetPoint("LEFT");
    health:SetTextColor(0,1,0);
 
    NamePlateHealthText[unitframe]=health;
end);
 
hooksecurefunc("CompactUnitFrame_UpdateHealth",function(self)-- This is a shared function with other UnitFrames
    if NamePlateHealthText[self] then NamePlateHealthText[self]:SetText(UnitHealth(self.displayedUnit)); end
end);
