Highlight selected unit

[Xpload]

Any ideas how to do so?

Depends on what you mean by "selected unit".

If you want to highlight the frame the mouse is currently over, the simplest solution is to simply add a highlight texture to the frame:

self:SetHighlightTexture("Interface\\QuestFrame\\UI-QuestTitleHighlight")

If you want to have more control over what happens (such as changing the color of the health bar) instead of showing/hiding a simple full-sized texture, you can handle that in the frame's OnEnter and OnLeave scripts:

self:HookScript("OnEnter", function(self)
    -- do stuff here when the mouse moves over the frame
end)

self:HookScript("OnLeave", function(self)
    -- do stuff here when the mouse moves off the frame
end)

If you want to highlight the frame whose unit you are currently targeting, you would need to register the PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED event on your frame:

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED")
self.PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED = function(self)
    if UnitExists("target") and UnitIsUnit(self.unit, "target") then
        -- you are currently targeting this frame's unit
    else
        -- you are not targeting this frame's unit
    end
end

Nice actually been looking for this for!

It works, but it has an lower layer so you can't actually see it

Was really missing this feature from Grid

Just made my own alot easier

local InvisFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
    InvisFrame:SetFrameStrata("MEDIUM")
    InvisFrame:SetFrameLevel(5)
    InvisFrame:SetAllPoints()
 
    local Background = InvisFrame:CreateTexture(nil, 'BORDER')
    Background:SetTexture("Interface\\Buttons\\WHITE8x8") -- or "Interface\\QuestFrame\\UI-QuestTitleHighlight"
    Background:SetAllPoints()
    Background:SetAlpha(0) -- make sure it doesn't show untill we actually enter the frame.
    
    self:HookScript("OnEnter", function(self)
        Background:SetVertexColor(1, 0.82, 0, 0.2)
    end)
 
    self:HookScript("OnLeave", function(self)
        Background:SetVertexColor(0, 0, 0, 0)
    end)

You can also modify the highlight texture, to raise it, etc:

local textureObject = frame:GetHighlightTexture()
