Total castbar time

[Stusteh]

I was wondering if there was a quick and simple way to add the total cast time in there.

In your layout add in a new routine like this:

local function CustomTimeText(element, duration)
	element.Time:SetFormattedText('%.1f / %.1f', element.channeling and duration or (element.max - duration), element.max)
end

and then in your style function add in the following line:

castbar.CustomTimeText = CustomTimeText

This will change the castbar time to show the current cast time as well as the total cast time.

        if unit == "player" then
        self.Castbar:SetPoint('CENTER', UIParent, 'CENTER', 0, -110)
            self.Castbar.SafeZone = self.Castbar:CreateTexture(nil, "BORDER")
            self.Castbar.SafeZone:SetTexture(config.statusbar)
            self.Castbar.SafeZone:SetVertexColor(1, 0.5, 0, 0.75)

            self.Castbar.Time = ns.CreateFontString(self.Castbar, 12, "RIGHT")
            self.Castbar.Time:SetPoint("RIGHT", self.Castbar, "RIGHT", -4, 0)

            self.Castbar.CustomDelayText = ns.CustomDelayText
            self.Castbar.CustomTimeText = ns.CustomTimeText
        elseif (ns.uconfig[unit].width or 1) > 0.75 then
            self.Castbar.Text = ns.CreateFontString(self.Castbar, 12, "LEFT")
            self.Castbar.Text:SetPoint("LEFT", self.Castbar, "LEFT", 4, 0)
        end

        self.Castbar.PostCastStart = ns.PostCastStart
        self.Castbar.PostChannelStart = ns.PostChannelStart

        ns.CreateBorder(self.Castbar)
        

        local d = floor(config.borderSize / 2 + 0.5) - 2
        self.Castbar.BorderTextures[1]:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.Castbar, "TOPLEFT", -d, d)
        self.Castbar.BorderTextures[4]:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self.Castbar, "BOTTOMLEFT", -d, -d)

        local o = self.Castbar.SetBorderSize
        self.Castbar.SetBorderSize = function(self, size, offset)
            o(self, size, offset)
            local d = floor(size / 2 + 0.5) - 2
            self.BorderTextures[1]:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.Icon, "TOPLEFT", -d, d)
            self.BorderTextures[4]:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self.Icon, "BOTTOMLEFT", -d, -d)
        end
    end

Can you throw it in there for me... I tried in a few different locations but wasn't successful.

        local o = self.Castbar.SetBorderSize
        self.Castbar.SetBorderSize = function(self, size, offset)
            o(self, size, offset)
            local d = floor(size / 2 + 0.5) - 2
            self.BorderTextures[1]:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.Icon, "TOPLEFT", -d, d)
            self.BorderTextures[4]:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self.Icon, "BOTTOMLEFT", -d, -d)
        end

        self.Castbar.CustomTimeText = function(self, duration)
            self.Time:SetFormattedText('%.1f / %.1f', self.channeling and duration or (self.max - duration), self.max)
        end
    end

This is dry-coded, but it should work.

Awesome bro, thanks a lot

I'm now working on the combo points and would like to switch the texture to smoothv2...

        combo.bg = combo:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
        combo.bg:ClearAllPoints()
        combo.bg:SetAllPoints(combo)
        combo.bg:SetTexture(statusbar)
        combo.bg:SetVertexColor(comboColor.r, comboColor.g, comboColor.b)
        combo.bg:SetAlpha(comboColor.a)

It's not exactly oUF but I was getting pretty quick advice before, so I thought I would try it here first.

I think i have to change the (statusbar) part but i don't know how to do it.

you have to change "statusbar" into the folder where you put the texture.

Like "Interface\\Addons\\youraddon\\yourtexture.tga". Or just search for statusbar in your lua and either replace it there OR copy the code, name it ... statusbar2 or whatever, change the texture used over there, go back to your combo point code and replace statusbar with statusbar2.

You have the right part, you just need to change the texture it is pointing to.

The value of the variable statusbar will be a string, so if you find where that is defined you will find something like:

local statusbar = "Interface\AddOns\myaddon\texture"

If you want to change the texture for everything that uses that old texture, then change the string value to point to your new texture.
If you want to change the texture of just the combo points, then create a new variable the holds the path to your new texture. When calling SetTexture for the combo point element then pass the new variable as the parameter.

That helped out a ton. I have been wondering how to do that with a lot of different addons.

thanks for the help
