on mouse over show

Code:

	--Value
	local powa = lib.gen_fontstring(f.Health, cfg.font, 14, "OUTLINE")
	     powa:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", f.Health, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, -10)
	     powa:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
	     f:Tag(powa, "[fail:pp]")

This is the code to show power value.

Code:

    --gen hilight texture
    lib.gen_highlight = function(f)
    local OnEnter = function(f)
		UnitFrame_OnEnter(f)
		f.Highlight:Show()
    end
    local OnLeave = function(f)
      UnitFrame_OnLeave(f)
      f.Highlight:Hide()
    end
    f:SetScript("OnEnter", OnEnter)
    f:SetScript("OnLeave", OnLeave)
    local hl = f.Health:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
    hl:SetAllPoints(f.Health)
    hl:SetTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
    hl:SetVertexColor(.5,.5,.5,.1)
    hl:SetBlendMode("ADD")
    hl:Hide()
    f.Highlight = hl
  end

This is the hover effect code.

I'm looking for a way to make the power value show when i hover over the frame. I tried adding another OnEnter.. with the powervalue code. Got no errors but its messed up and not working correctly. I'm kinda stuck:S

Another thing is that whenever i have the power value show on the player frame, it also shows on the player frame in the party. If that makes sense:P How can i distinguish between the frames.

Puh that was alot of questions. I have limited lua knowledge(copy/paste. trial and error) I would very much appreciate some help

Btw this is all in the ouf_fail layout.

First, you need to add some way to access the fontstring after creating it, eg:

Code:

local powa = lib.gen_fontstring(f.Health, cfg.font, 14, "OUTLINE")
powa:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", f.Health, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, -10)
powa:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
f:Tag(powa, "[fail:pp]")
f.powaText = powa

Then just add it to the existing OnEnter function (you can only have one, and setting another one overwrites the first one):

Code:

local OnEnter = function(f)
	UnitFrame_OnEnter(f)
	f.Highlight:Show()
	f.powaText:Show()
end

Don't forget to add a corresponding line in the OnLeave function to hide it again on mouseout.

Thanks for the quick answer. I actually got it to work just after posting:P And its exactly as you suggested

The new issue is that the valuetext will now show up on login/relog. Have to mouseover the frame to get it working.

Edit:hehe fixed with a simple powa:Hide()

Trying to show the rep/exp text on mouseover throws errors at me when hovering over other frames then player. So i tried to add something like this:

Code:

    local OnEnter = function(f)
		UnitFrame_OnEnter(f)
		f.Highlight:Show()
		f.powaText:Show()
		if ( UnitFrame:GetName() == "PlayerFrame" ) then
			f.exptext:Show()
		end

Simply does not work.

Just check for the existence of the thing you want to show, instead of some random other condition that may or may not be relevant, especially if the other condition requires function calls, comparison operations, or other slow things:

Code:

if f.exptext then
    f.exptext:Show()
end

Also, your code does not work because UnitFrame is not defined; if you changed it to f:GetName() it should work -- assuming the name of the player frame is actually just "PlayerFrame", which is a really bad idea since that name is already in use by the Blizzard player frame, and reassigning it to your own object will likely raise errors in other code that is expecting to access the Blizzard frame by that name.

Make sure you have BugSack installed and enabled while working with code -- being able to see the actual error messages being raised is immensely helpful. Without that info, you are working in the dark.

Well eh i really don't know much about lua, so half of what you wrote was kinda Greek to me:P Trial and error

I did however get it to work:

Code:

  lib.gen_highlight = function(f)
    local OnEnter = function(f)
		UnitFrame_OnEnter(f)
		f.Highlight:Show()
		f.powaText:Show()
		if(IsAddOnLoaded('oUF_Experience')) and UnitLevel("player") ~= MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL_TABLE[GetExpansionLevel()] then
			if ( f:GetName() == "oUF_failPlayer" ) then
				f.exptext:Show()
			end
		end

It may be terrible coding, but it works and that's enough for me

Thanks again

Change:

Code:

		if(IsAddOnLoaded('oUF_Experience')) and UnitLevel("player") ~= MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL_TABLE[GetExpansionLevel()] then
			if ( f:GetName() == "oUF_failPlayer" ) then
				f.exptext:Show()
			end
		end

to:

Code:

		if f.exptext then
			f.exptext:Show()
		end

Unless the layout is doing something really stupid, those other conditions are all checked when the frame first loads, and if any of them aren't met, no XP text is created for that frame. There's no reason to check all that other stuff. Just check if the frame has an XP text.

Thank you so much! I't works like a charm
