Simply Clock/WG Timer Display

Awesome add-on. I see a lot of potential in this once I learn more about lua.
I never figured out why your lua code never worked for me... But it gave me a good start for the Clock and WG timer codes. Not sure how they are in terms of efficiency but it appears to work fine, I have yet to test the clock in PM range and yet to test the WG timer in progress and in an instance away from map, but I guess it should get the timer from our BG queueing window.

	OnLeave = HideTT,
	OnClick = function(_,b) (b == "RightButton" and ToggleTimeManager or ToggleCalendar)() end

},

All code credited to Katae, I modified it to work for me since I couldn't get the original one to work.
Edit:
So after adding in the tooltip part, I noticed mousing over back and forth, the tooltip doesn't disappear instantaneously, in fact, sometimes it seems random as if it takes forever until it disappears when moving my mouse up and down. left and right mousing motion seems better it seems.
Also after enabling tooltip, is there a function supported to disable mouse clicks? say if I were to remove the OnClick function?

Thanks

I forgot to add the "HideTT" function I have in my original code, which is attached to OnLeave. Sorry about that. Change it to this code so it works properly.

function() ToggleFrame(GameTooltip) end

Mouse interaction is enabled automatically for OnClick, OnEnter, and OnLeave. None of those actions would do anything otherwise.

Also, I wonder if it didn't work because of my font, did you remove that bit?

I took this lua text from the "LuaTexts" thread in EJ, which collects some lua stuff for Pitbull. Since it's a bit different to import that to LitePanels, I'm wondering what's the correct way to update this info:

local base, posBuff, negBuff = UnitRangedAttackPower("player");
local ap = base + posBuff + negBuff;
local cr,arpp, hrp = GetRangedCritChance(), GetCombatRatingBonus(25), GetCombatRatingBonus(7)
local cr = format("%.2f", cr)
local hrp = format("%.2f", hrp)
local arpp = format("%.2f", arpp)

return "AP: "..ap.." crit: "..cr.."% ArP: "..arpp.."% hit: "..hrp.."%"
end

So it's supposed to show your current ranged attack power, crit, armor penetration & hit. Of those four, at least RAP & crit will change during combat, and ArP too if you have e.g. an item that procs ArP. I'm interested in getting them show without much delay, but without unnecessary updating. I've put it for now in your money/fps/memory/latency script so that "update = 1," but I figure that might not be the best way to do it?

It would be possible to RegisterEvent to UNIT_STATS, UNIT_DAMAGE, COMBAT_RATING_UPDATE (tested with /eventtrace, and at least ArP triggers this) in your OnLoad function, then assign your variables and output the string to the text object within the OnEvent function.

I don't think it would be necessary to check if specific stats have changed, since your variable assignments are pretty light already. I imagine that these events may, at times, fire more than a 1 sec timer during a raid scenario, but I don't believe it would make a noticeable impact on performance.

Made big changes to the layout and profile system with 1.5 and edited some of my posts to reflect them. Older layout code should still work with this version.

Hi,
Ive juist updated to the latest version and i'm having an issue with my code and cant figure out whats wrong with it.

The error mrssage i get is:
ID: -1
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\AddOns\LitePanels\layout.lua line 473:
unexpected symbol near ')'

the full code is here: Pastebin Link (ps line 473 in my layout lua is line 189 on the pastebin)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
