Raidgroup # Display.

[sacrife]

Hi.
I've been trying to the raidgroup number of my raidgroups next to the raidframe, and I seem to have some problems creating the fontstrings.
Here's what I have so far.

if (GetNumRaidMembers() > 0) then
	local raidGroupYpos = -30
	local raidGroupXpos = 5
	local raidGroup1Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		raidGroup1Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos)
	local raidGroup2Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-10)
	local raidGroup3Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-20)
	local raidGroup4Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-30)
	local raidGroup5Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-40)
	local raidGroup6Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-50)
	local raidGroup7Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-60)
	local raidGroup8Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-70)
	
	self:SetWidth(10)
	self:SetHeight(13)
	self:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
	self:SetFont("Interface\\AddOns\\!LynSettings\\fonts\\font2.ttf", 16, "OUTLINE")
	
	self:SetScript("OnUpdate", self.update)
	
    for i=1, MAX_RAID_MEMBERS do
		
        local _, _, subgroup, _, _, _, _, _, _ = GetRaidRosterInfo(i); --[[name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead]]--
		
        if (subgroup == 1)then
			raidGroup1Text:SetText(subgroup)
		else
			raidGroup1Text:SetText("")
		end
		
		if (subgroup == 2) then
			raidGroup2Text:SetText(subgroup)
		else
			raidGroup2Text:SetText("")
        end

    end

end

Any ideas?

(this is at the end of my ouf_layout, design file though)

show the code you use to spawn raid groups

[sacrife]

-- Raid frames
local Raid = {}
for i=1,8 do -- number of Raid-Groups, here 8
	local raidGroup = oUF:Spawn('header', 'oUF_Raid'..i)
	raidGroup:SetManyAttributes('groupFilter', tostring(i), 'showRaid', true, 'xOffSet', 5, 'POINT', 'LEFT')
	table.insert(Raid, raidGroup)
	if(i==1) then
		raidGroup:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 'LEFT', 10, 100) -- position of first raidgroup
	else
		raidGroup:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', Raid[i-1], 'BOTTOMLEFT', 0, -30)
	end
	
	local raidtoggle = CreateFrame"Frame"
	raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED"
    raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED"
    raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE"
    raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"PLAYER_LOGIN"
	raidtoggle:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
	inInstance, instanceType = IsInInstance()
		if (instanceType == "arena") then
	        raidGroup:Hide()
		else
            raidGroup:Show()
		end
	end)
end

inside the layout function:

if(self:GetParent():GetName():match('oUF_Raid')) then
   for i = 1, 8 do
      local groupNumber = self.Health:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY')
      groupNumber:SetText(GetAttribute('groupFilter'))
      groupNumber:SetPoint('anchor1', oUF_Raid..i, 'anchor2', x, y)
   end
end

add placement and a font then try it out

Error: Attempt to call global 'GetAttribute' (a nil value)

Edit: Nevermind, I changed it to groupNumber:SetText(i).
Works like a charm.

D'oh! forgot the 'self:' before 'GetAttribute', but using the index number uses less resources.

Is there an easy way to change the color of the groupnumber I'm in?
I tried, but could'nt really make it work.

make a table of colors and use the lua API 'unpack'
