[help,lua] statusbar from lib... value effecting seperat instances.

[HolyShield]

Edit: Yep.. a DOH! Moment. I found the problem. I was passing in the same values to the 2nd instance of my statusbar.

I'm working on creating my own version of unit frames (since I have not found one that I have liked) and I'm running into an issue with creating status bars from a lib file. The frame and the text displays properly, however when the value of the status bar is changed on my first instance, the second one also changes... however the reverse is not true. When the second instance changes the first remains the same.

I'm thinking that the 2nd instance of my frame is referencing my 1st instance. I'm not sure why this is happening.
Probably something that will be a "DOH!" moment... but thanks in advance for your time and/or help.


lib tempate for my frame:

function lib:CreateUnitFrame(name,template)

	if (type(name)) ~= "string" then return; end

	--UnitMana
	frame.unitmana = getglobal((name.."UnitMana")) or CreateFrame("StatusBar",(name.."UnitMana"),frame);
	frame.unitmana:SetWidth(120);
	frame.unitmana:SetHeight(13);
	frame.unitmana:SetPoint("CENTER",frame,"CENTER",0,-6);
	if(template.StatusBarTexture) then frame.unitmana:SetStatusBarTexture(template.StatusBarTexture); end
	frame.unitmana:SetMinMaxValues(0,100);
	frame.unitmana:SetValue(100);

	frame.unitmana.text:SetShadowColor(0,0,0,1);
	frame.unitmana.text:SetShadowOffset(1,-1);
	
	return frame;

actual use of the above function:

	return rtn;
end

function HSTI:GetPlayerData()
	HSTI.PlayerHealth = UnitHealth("player") or 0;
	HSTI.PlayerHealthMax = UnitHealthMax("player") or 1;	
	HSTI.PlayerMana = UnitMana("player") or 0;
	HSTI.PlayerManaMax = UnitManaMax("player") or 1;
end
