oUF - Layout discussion

[grimman]

I have a bit of a problem... as usual. :P

self.RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE = updateGroup

+

local function updateGroup(self, event, unit)
	message("test")
end

Doesn't do anything at all. I'm in a raid, moving units around, updating loot rules etc, but the message never pops up.

The idea was to add a simple raid-group number on the player frame, much like Blizzard has on their own (rather crappy) unit frames. I had this on my old DUF layout which I based the oUF layout on, and I've come to miss it.

What am I doing wrong? :P

You aren't registering the event.

[grimman]

Ugh, of course... I thought that's what the first line was doing through oUF itself. I guess not. :P

[haste]

No, that just adds a function to your layout's table .

Thanks to P3lim for my layout that works now ^^

Thanks.
Got it working "well enough".

Would anyone be willing to work on a range module? Maybe there's one in the works? I'm thinking that might be the only way to get range checks the way I'd like them. Remove Curse has a longer range than oUF can show is my problem.

Also, I am using a layout that has black bars with a red background and when I enable the range alpha it makes all the bars look red when out of range. Is there a way to fix that? I think p3lim's layout does not do this or maybe the contrast between the bars and background are just not as severe. Also on the portraits when it's faded you can see parts of the portrait that should be covered by the frame art. So, it seems like it's fading each individual layer or whatever (I'm obviously not a programmer) and not just the entire frame. If this can't be avoided, is there some other clever way to show a unit out of range? Like, change the color of the bar maybe? That'd be perfect. If something like that is already in a layout, please point me in the right direction so I can see how they did it.

Hey everyone. I'm relatively new to lua, but I'm trying to drop rock and replace chinchilla, cowtip, and pitbull with different, more efficient addons. Firstly, I'm attempting to modify p3lim's oUF layout into something more my style. Here's what I've got so far (not much):

And here's my code:

Now, what I'm trying to do is make the target's health a percentage, make the class text colored based on targeted class, put a percent health display on my pet's frame (the one above the player frame), and change the background color on every frame except target and castbar (can be seen on the pet bar. The difference is very slight and hard to see at the moment, I'm not sure how I even did that.). If possible, I'd also like to keep my health displayed as an absolute value. Right now it switches to a deficit and a percentage (could provide screenshots if needed).

Thanks for your help.
