ok i am still a bit on the newb side, so im asking this question to see if this is something that is even possible. i can show a tiny snippet of my code to see what im tying to accomplish.
Lua Code:
local malObject = {
type = "launcher",
icon = "Interface\\Addons\\MaggzAutoLog\\disabled",
label = "MaggzAutoLog",
OnClick = function(self, button)
if button == "RightButton" then
LOGSTATE()
end
if button == "LeftButton" then
if LoggingCombat() then
disablelogging()
else
enablelogging()
end
end
end,
OnTooltipShow = function(tooltip)
tooltip:AddLine("|cff00FF00MaggzAutoLog|r");
tooltip:AddLine("hold left mouse button to drag");
tooltip:AddLine("right click to enable/disable logging");
if LoggingCombat() then
tooltip:AddLine("Logging |cff00FF00Enabled|r");
else
tooltip:AddLine("Logging |cffFF0000Disabled|r");
end
end,
};
i used the minimap button creation tips i had found thru searching and atm it all works well for me, with one minor issue, i cant seem to find any documentation anywhere about how to update that last tooltip:AddLine("information here"); while the tooltip is still open and displaying. If this is something that cant be currently done that would be nice to know as well.
What my main goal is here is to add in some displayfunctionality to my addon to show current state of your combat logging. i do believe i have accomplished that with just this one issue perplexing me. Only reason i wanted to add this sort of ability is because i used loggerhead for a long while and liked how it functioned, however its not been updated for atleast last 2 patches. I know my addon is going to be NO WHERE near the functionality as that one.
If i need to post my entire LUA file here please let me know as well, i just wanted to atleast get some inut as to what im looking to do is capable
