{   name = "WatchBuff",
    anchor_to = "CENTER", anchor_from = "CENTER", y_off = 300,
    text = {
        string = function()
            local buff = "Inner Fire" -- name of watched buff
            local aura, time_left = UnitAura("player", buff)
            if aura then
                time_left = floor(select(7, UnitAura("player", buff)) - GetTime())
                if time_left <= 10 and time_left > 0 then
                    return format("%s is down in %s seconds", buff, time_left)
                end
            end
            if not aura or time_left <= 0 then
                return buff.." is down."
            end
        end,
        size = 10, color = "1 0.75 0", outline = 2,
    }
}

Thank you

Works great.
I wanted to add to that to make it much more similar to power auras.
I first added a box with a background around the text (anchored to the WatchBuff frame)
then I added a texture. I first noticed when I buffed myself, the textures wouldn't go disappear.

I then looked at the AFK timer to see how you made the box disappear, you used this

Code:

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_FLAGS_CHANGED")

I tried that. It would only update everytime I change my afk tag. (I'm a n00b at coding, I just test things to see how they work first). So I tried something from Wowwiki's page...

instead of

PLAYER_FLAGS_CHANGED

I tried

COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

That worked for buffing myself but didn't work so well when I right clicked the buff off, as no combat log event occured during that time.

I tried

PLAYER_AURAS_CHANGED

Seems to be a broken function, unless it perhaps it means like a paladin aura or something.

How would I set it up to be like the afk set up?

You are afk --> box shows
You are not afk --> box disappears

You are unbuffed --> box shows
You are not unbuffed (or you are buffed) --> box disappears

Below is the code I have so far...

Code:

{   name = "WatchBuff",
    anchor_to = "CENTER", anchor_from = "CENTER", y_off = 300,
    text = {
        string = function()
            local buff = "Mark of the Wild" -- name of watched buff
            local aura, time_left = UnitAura("player", buff)
            if aura then
                time_left = floor(select(7, UnitAura("player", buff)) - GetTime())
                if time_left <= 10 and time_left > 0 then
                    return format("%s is down in %s seconds", buff, time_left)
                end
            end
            if not aura or time_left <= 0 then
                return "Mark of the Wild is down."
            end
        end,
        size = 10, color = {1, 0.75, 0}, outline = 2,level=1, update=0.1,
    },

	OnLoad = function(self)
		self:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT")
		self:Hide()
	end,
	OnEvent = function(self)
            local buff = "Mark of the Wild" -- name of watched buff
            local aura, time_left = UnitAura("player", buff)
		if not aura then
			self:Show()
		elseif aura then
			self:Hide()
		end
	end,
},
{ parent="WatchBuff",y_off = 5,anchor_to="TOP",width="152",height=1,bg_color={1,1,0} },
{ parent="WatchBuff",y_off = -5,anchor_to="BOTTOM",width="152",height=1,bg_color={1,1,0} },
{ parent="WatchBuff",x_off = -5,anchor_to="LEFT",width=1,height="20",bg_color={1,1,0} },
{ parent="WatchBuff",x_off = 5,anchor_to="RIGHT",width=1,height="20",bg_color={1,1,0} },
{ parent="WatchBuff",anchor_to="CENTER",width=150,height="18",bg_color={0,0,0},bg_alpha = 0.50,level=0},

    { name="Art_L", parent="WatchBuff",anchor_to="LEFT",y_off=-200, height="500",
      tex_file="Interface\\AddOns\\PowerAuras\\Aura5", width="500" },

Hope everyone had a merry christmas

I am sorry if this has already been discussed, but I was wondering if there was a way to make a class colored bar that shows the class color of your target (and either no bar when no target or just make the bar a default color like black.)

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can try adding these functions to the panel config, for example:

Code:

OnLoad = function(self)
  self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED'
end,
OnEvent = function(self)
  local _,class = UnitClass'target'
  local color = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class] or {0,0,0}
  self.bg:SetTexture(color.r, color.g, color.b, 1.0)
end,

OnEvent would be one way to do it, but I'd opt for OnUpdate myself. For the box, you'd need to use SetAlpha instead of Show/Hide, since when you show and hide a frame, the scripts stop running. Try this out:

Code:

{    name = "WatchBuff",
    anchor_to = "CENTER", anchor_from = "CENTER", y_off = 250,
    bg_color = "0 0 0", bg_alpha = 0.5,
    border = "SOLID", border_color = "0 0 0", border_alpha = 1,
    height = 30, width = 250,
    text = { size = 12, color = "1 0.5 0", outline = 1 },
    OnUpdate = function(self, u)
        self.elapsed = self.elapsed + u
        if self.elapsed > 0.5 then
            local buff = WATCH_BUFF or "Mark of the Wild"
            local aura = UnitAura("player", buff)
            self.text:SetText(buff.." is down.")
            self:SetAlpha(aura and 0 or 1)
            self.elapsed = 0
        end
    end,
}

Added the global WATCH_BUFF in there so you could run /run WATCH_BUFF="buff" in game if needed.

Thanks for the quick response, very much appreciated. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work, I have pasted your example where I think it should go, in the layout.lua file, but I am very likely incorrect. I was hoping I wouldn't have to make a second comment for this but the answer is not coming to me.

Reading on the forum I see you might ask for a link to the layout like this:
http://pastebin.com/m1959cf0a
I really do appreciate your help, you definitely go above and beyond here.

It was drycoded at the time, edited the post with a working function. (also, changed to OnEvent, I was being lazy with OnUpdate)

terracloud · 12-31-09, 12:54 AM

I'm not sure if I've seen this option before, but I wanna repeat an image file over the span of the block. Does a repeat option exist within the options?

I'm also having issues getting the frames to line up properly. Is there a set way to make each frame in a row show up one against the next instead of overlapping?

No setting for that currently.

You can line panels up side by side by parenting panel B to panel A, and setting panel B's anchor_to to "LEFT" or whatever side of panel A you want it to border.

eddiemars · 12-31-09, 12:24 PM

Ultra thanks, it works perfectly now. It looks pretty wicked too

terracloud · 12-31-09, 11:42 PM

After a bit of work, I have failed to figure out why my images aren't working the way I wanted them to. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong.

Here's a link to the pastebin

I have uploaded the images I'm using to a friends website

xandora · 01-01-10, 03:16 AM

I don't think you need to include the .tga extensions for the texture files.

terracloud · 01-02-10, 03:17 AM

I've finally figured out what the problem was, I'm putting it on pastebin for reference

Victimize · 01-04-10, 03:17 AM

I'm having a bit of trouble getting started. I made my own layout.lua file, and this is what I have in it:

Code:

lpanels:CreateLayout("ActionBars", {
	{	name = "Bar",
		anchor_to = "BOTTOM",
		y_off = 20,
		width = "100%",
		height = 30,
		bg_color = "0 0 0",
		bg_alpha = 0.5,
	}
})
lpanels:ApplyLayout("n:Victimize r:EmeraldDream", "ActionBars")

Nothing is showing up. What am I doing wrong?

Ferous · 01-04-10, 05:19 PM

Code:

LPanels = {
	["Default"] = {
		
		{	name = "Actionbar", 
			anchor_to = "CENTER", 
			y_off = -419,
			width = 484, 
			height = 41,
			bg_color = {0.15,0.15,0.15},
                        strata = "LOW",
			bg_alpha = 0.9
		},
		
	},
}

Example in my layout. You don't need to add 'ApplyLayout' or anything like that. Just rename Default and rename Actionbar to what ever

edit - I think the reason why yours wasn't working was it doesn't have a comma after the }, should be },

Victimize · 01-04-10, 07:29 PM

Dead on! I was missing a comma. Thanks mate

eddiemars · 01-06-10, 04:14 PM

I was having a problem where an image file was just not showing up not matter what I did. After I left the computer for a couple hours though and logged on after it showed up. I hadn't touched anything since when it was not showing up... *is confused*

Anyways! I was hoping for a suggestion again. I'm trying now to have a texture file show up only if there is a target, and I tried salvaging as much I could from your original suggestion to me and it starts when you log in with the image hidden, then when you select your first target the texture file is shown.. easy. Problem is I am not sure what code I would use to make it hide again after you remove a target.

Code:

    { name="Art_P", parent="UIParent", anchor_to="BOTTOM", height=70, 
      tex_file="moo", width=75, x_off = 223, y_off = 35, level=2, flip_h = false,
		OnLoad = function(self)
		  self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED'
		  self:Hide()
		end,
		OnEvent = function(self)
		  self:Show()
		end,
    },

This is the best I could come up with that actually sort of worked. I felt sure that the real answer lies somewhere in using an 'if' and 'else' scenario or 'true' and 'false' but after many google searches I could only guess at doing this with the 'OnStatus' handler which is not supported. Any ideas?

velrhis · 01-09-10, 09:34 AM

hi,
Is it possible to create a script to remind me of a weapon enchant, like windfury weapon or poisons?

I´ve read the code for "normal" buffs, but this won´t work for weapon buffs.

thanks in advance

keep on your great work

Try something more along the lines of this:

Code:

        OnLoad = function(self)
          self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED'
          self:SetAlpha(0)
        end,
        OnEvent = function(self)
          if UnitGUID'target' then
            self:SetAlpha(1)
          else
            self:SetAlpha(0)
          end
        end,

Mostly sure using Hide() will stop scripts from running (maybe it's only OnUpdate, not completely sure). UnitGUID if/else is just checking if target is a valid unit or not.

It works perfectly thank you. unitGUID... very handy to know about this, I have a feeling it will come in handy for multiple situations I might encounter.
