HolyPower Code

Elendhriel · 10-04-10, 05:16 PM

Hi, could anyone share the code to show the HolyPower as numbers 1-2-3 next to the player frame for example. Thanks.

The easiest way to do this would be with a custom tag.

The event you want to update the tag is 'UNIT_POWER'.

The API call to retrieve the holy power value is UnitPower. You can check the usage of the API from the HolyPower element.

Thanks, thing is I only just started 2 days ago playing with oUF and would really like some working piece of code to see and learn from it and change it to my needs

Check http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ettoPower.html it has it all. Meaning all the events and such you need for your custom tags.

Code:

_, myclass = UnitClass("player") 

if (myclass == "WARLOCK" or myclass == "PALADIN") then
	
				local bars = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
				bars:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self, "TOPLEFT", 0, Scale(5))
				if lowversion then
					bars:SetWidth(Scale(186))
				else
					bars:SetWidth(Scale(fWidth))
				end
				bars:SetHeight(Scale(8))
                

				for i = 1, 3 do					
					bars[i]=CreateFrame("StatusBar", self:GetName().."_Shard"..i, self)
					bars[i]:SetHeight(Scale(5))					
					bars[i]:SetStatusBarTexture(normTex)
					bars[i]:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false)

					bars[i].bg = bars[i]:CreateTexture(nil, 'BORDER')
                    

                    
					if myclass == "WARLOCK" then
						bars[i]:SetStatusBarColor(255/255,101/255,101/255)
						bars[i].bg:SetTexture(255/255,101/255,101/255)
					elseif myclass == "PALADIN" then
						bars[i]:SetStatusBarColor(228/255,225/255,16/255)
						bars[i].bg:SetTexture(228/255,225/255,16/255)
					end
					
					if i == 1 then
						bars[i]:SetPoint("LEFT", bars)
						if lowversion then
							bars[i]:SetWidth(Scale(fWidth/3 - 4.8))
						else
							bars[i]:SetWidth(Scale(fWidth/3 - 4.8)) -- setting SetWidth here just to fit fit 250 perfectly
						end
						bars[i].bg:SetAllPoints(bars[i])
					else
						bars[i]:SetPoint("LEFT", bars[i-1], "RIGHT", Scale(7), 0)
						if lowversion then
							bars[i]:SetWidth(Scale(fWidth/3 - 4.8))
						else
							bars[i]:SetWidth(Scale(fWidth/3 - 4.8)) -- setting SetWidth here just to fit fit 250 perfectly
						end
						bars[i].bg:SetAllPoints(bars[i])
					end
					
					bars[i].bg:SetTexture(normTex)					
				end
				
				if myclass == "WARLOCK" then
					bars.Override = UpdateShards				
					self.SoulShards = bars
				elseif myclass == "PALADIN" then
					bars.Override = UpdateHoly
					self.HolyPower = bars
				end
			end

tukui code, just remove scale() and change width and heigh

Don't forget drooders!!! O.o their powertype is #8

Druid-Eclipse-bar is not the candidate to be displayed as text, is it?

I would guess most oUF-authors will create a bar for this^^

I want that too, i dont like a that bar!

but i have text for shards/holypower i chould share

Code:

-- Thanks Neverg For HolyPower/Shards.
oUF.Tags["Aftermathh:HolyPower"] = function(unit)
	
	local hp = UnitPower('player', SPELL_POWER_HOLY_POWER)
	local str
		
	if hp == 1 then
		str = string.format("|c50f58cba%d|r",hp)
	elseif hp == 2 then
		str = string.format("|c50f58cba%d|r",hp)
	elseif hp == 3 then
		str = string.format("|c50f58cba%d|r",hp)
	else
		str = ""
	end
		
	return str
end
oUF.TagEvents["Aftermathh:HolyPower"] = "UNIT_POWER"

Code:

		if(class == "PALADIN") then
			local HolyPower = self:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY')
			HolyPower:SetPoint('CENTER', self, 'RIGHT', 17, -2)
			HolyPower:SetFont(font, 24, "OUTLINE")
			HolyPower:SetShadowOffset(1, -1)
			HolyPower:SetJustifyH('CENTER')
			self:Tag(HolyPower, '[Aftermathh:HolyPower]')
		end

There is a default tag for the eclipse value, try using it. If you don't like the default tag, write a custom tag based upon it.

	end

end
oUF.TagEvents["Aftermathh:HolyPower"] = "UNIT_POWER"

bad tag is bad.

Code:

oUF.Tags["Aftermathh:HolyPower"] = function(unit)

	local hp = UnitPower('player', SPELL_POWER_HOLY_POWER)

	if hp > 0 then
		return string.format("|c50f58cba%d|r", hp)
	end
end
oUF.TagEvents["Aftermathh:HolyPower"] = "UNIT_POWER"

Mischback · 10-26-10, 03:19 PM

Could one of the oUF-devs please aid me with a tip... It's totally off-topic, but should I consider working with tags instead of PostUpdate-functions and what would be the benefit?

Currently, I'm handling HP- / Power-texts in PostUpdate-hooks, since I really like the total control of what is displayed.
Would it be faster (in terms of addon performance) to use tags instead? Or is it merely a more "editable"-way of doing stuff?

yj589794 · 10-26-10, 03:43 PM

Handling text updates yourself will be the quickest method, in terms of CPU usage (especially if you do all you related updates together, e.g. health bar and health text). The problem is that this method will mean that any code you produce has added maintenance complexity.

The tags element is there to simplify the updating of text on your unit frames, but in doing so there is some processing overhead. This overhead should not be enough to affect your in-game experience, so it is recommended to uses tags for code maintainability and readability reasons.

Mischback · 10-26-10, 03:47 PM

Thank you, yj589794!

In terms of complexity, I'm perfectly able to handle my hooks, since I tried (and until now succeeded) in commenting everything - enough.

I'll stick to this method until I encounter problems!

Like vj pointed out, you don't need your tag like that. First remove the str="" at the end, it's not doing anything. Then you don't need conditionals if you are always outputing the same formating.

Use what he gave you.
