So to correct those issues to make it a bit more efficient lets alter a few things. First lets remove that BAG_UPDATE and register for the inventory update events needed. OnLoad: local font,size = self.text:GetFont() self.text:SetFont(font,size,"OUTLINE") self.text:SetJustifyH("CENTER") self.text:SetJustifyV("CENTER")   if not self.statusbar then     self.statusbar = CreateFrame("StatusBar",nil,self)     self.statusbar:SetStatusBarTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-StatusBar")     self.statusbar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false)     self.statusbar:SetMinMaxValues(0, 100)     self.statusbar:SetValue(100)     self.statusbar:SetWidth(self:GetWidth()-2)     self.statusbar:SetHeight(self:GetHeight()-2)     self.statusbar:SetFrameLevel(2)     self.statusbar:SetPoint("CENTER",self,"CENTER")     self.statusbar:SetStatusBarColor(0,1,0) end -- Inventory Events self:RegisterEvent("BAG_UPDATE") self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED") self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD") Second, since we're not going to be updating this constantly and only OnEvent, we leave our OnUpdate empty and we instead place our update code into the OnEvent: OnEvent local bagRem, bagTtl = 0, 0   for i = 0, NUM_BAG_SLOTS do     bagRem, bagTtl = bagRem + GetContainerNumFreeSlots(i), bagTtl + GetContainerNumSlots(i) end   self.text:SetText(string.format("Bag: %d/%d", bagRem, bagTtl)) self.statusbar:SetMinMaxValues(0,bagTtl) -- Here we update the amount of bagslots our status bar will show. self.statusbar:SetValue(bagRem) local min,max  = self.statusbar:GetMinMaxValues() if bagRem < (max*0.25) then     self.statusbar:SetStatusBarColor(1,0,0) elseif bagRem > (max*0.25) and bagRem < (max/2) then     self.statusbar:SetStatusBarColor(1,1,0) else     self.statusbar:SetStatusBarColor(0,1,0) end

sorry for the late response.. xD
yeah, you're right, I need to do more practice.

Bump.

What would I have to change if I want the statusbar to expand in size/width (as my bags fills) instead of decrease in size/with when my bags fill?

Change this:

self.statusbar:SetValue(bagRem)

To this:

self.statusbar:SetValue((bagTtl - bagRem))

This effectively changes it from displaying how many slots are remaining to how many slots are filled.

You can also do that with the text update.

Change this:

self.text:SetText(string.format("Bag: %d/%d", bagRem, bagTtl))

To this:

self.text:SetText(string.format("Bag: %d/%d", (bagTtl - bagRem), bagTtl))
