totem bar question

[maltese]

I've been trying today to implement oUF_TotemBar into oUF_Drk today.

-- Shaman Totem Bar
lib.genTotemBar = function(self)
	if IsAddOnLoaded("oUF_TotemBar") and class == "SHAMAN" then
		
		local TotemBar = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, self)
		TotemBar:SetPoint('BOTTOMLET', self.Portrait, 'TOPLEFT', 0, 2)
		TotemBar:SetHeight(4)
		TotemBar:SetWidth(self.Portrait:GetWidth())
		local h = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, TotemBar)
		h:SetFrameLevel(3)
		h:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-5,5)
		h:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",5,-5)
		lib.gen_backdrop(h)
		TotemBar = {}
		TotemBar.Destroy = true
		
		for i = 1, 4 do
			local totem = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
			totem:SetSize((self.Portrait:GetWidth() / 4) - 0.85, 4)
			totem:SetStatusBarTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
			totem:SetFrameLevel(4)
			
			if (i == 1) then
				totem:SetPoint('LEFT', TotemBar, 'LEFT', 1, 0)
			else
				totem:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', TotemBar[i-1], 'TOPRIGHT', 2, 0)
			end
			TotemBar:SetStatusBarTexture(statusbar)
			TotemBar:SetBackdrop(statusbackback)
			totem:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0)
			TotemBar:SetMinMaxValues(0, 1)
		
			local totemBG = totem:CreateTexture(nil, 'BACKGROUND')
			totemBG:SetAllPoints(totem)
			totemBG:SetTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
			totem.bg = totemBG
			totem.bg.multiplier = 0.3
			TotemBar[i] = totem
		end
		self.TotemBar = TotemBar
	end	
end

The code I posted doesn't present any errors on load or when dropping totems, but fails to produce a totem bar. Any ideas?

Why are you creating TotemBar as a frame?

local TotemBar = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, self)

I don't see the point in that. Remove that and try again. Dunno if it's that but on my layout I just created a table, nothing more. Everything else seems fine to me.

Just a thought, but have you actually created your portrait before trying to create your totembar?
If not, then your width will always be set to 0.

[maltese]

So as a test I copied all of your code and modified the obvious stuff that needed to change from oUF_Lumen, Still no totem bar. The code I was orginally using was placed after the DK rune code which works, so its not an issue with creating it before the portrait. Obviously if I'm using working code from another layout and modifying all the vars to constants, then its something I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for the help so far guys.

Err, did you had oUF_TotemBar dependency in the TOC file?

Like this: ## OptionalDeps: oUF_TotemBar

Or in the big picture:

Thats actually one of the first things I did, still no luck.
I've gone through and copied over several different layouts totem code into the one I'm using, redownloaded oUF_TotemBar, and disabled my layout and turned on others. I all cases no errors are produced and every other layout shows a totembar but no errors with mine. I know this is going to be something simple when I finally figure it out (like it usually is heh).

I don't know if this will help you, but here's my implementation. Admittedly the borders aren't just right, but it is a fully working one.

 -- Totembar
if(IsAddOnLoaded("oUF_TotemBar") and select(2, UnitClass("player")) == "SHAMAN") then
self.TotemBar = {}
for i = 1, 4 do
self.TotemBar[i] = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
self.TotemBar[i]:SetHeight(7)
self.TotemBar[i]:SetWidth(plWidth/4 - 0.85)
if (i == 1) then
self.TotemBar[i]:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.Power, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, -1)
else
self.TotemBar[i]:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.TotemBar[i-1], "TOPRIGHT", 1, 0)
end
self.TotemBar[i]:SetStatusBarTexture(texture)
self.TotemBar[i]:SetBackdrop{
bgFile = "Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground",
insets = {left = -2, right = -2, top = -2, bottom = -2},
}
self.TotemBar[i]:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .3)
self.TotemBar[i]:SetMinMaxValues(0, 1)
self.TotemBar[i].destroy = true

self.TotemBar[i].bg = self.TotemBar[i]:CreateTexture(nil, "BORDER")
self.TotemBar[i].bg:SetAllPoints(self.TotemBar[i])
self.TotemBar[i].bg:SetTexture(texture)
self.TotemBar[i].bg.multiplier = 0.25
end
end

And here is my implementation...

It might be worth posting a pastey of your entire layout, there may be something that means you totem code is not actually being run.

[maltese]

tried some more layouts and found some code that worked for me after changing it some. Not sure why my original didn't work, but hey.. it works now

-- Shaman Totem Bar
lib.genTotemBar = function(self)
	if IsAddOnLoaded('oUF_TotemBar') and playerClass == 'SHAMAN' then
		local totems = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, self)
		totems:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', self.Portrait, 'TOPLEFT', 0, 2)
		totems:SetHeight(4)
		totems:SetWidth(self.Portrait:GetWidth())
		local h = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, totems)
		h:SetFrameLevel(3)
		h:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",-5,5)
		h:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",5,-5)
		lib.gen_backdrop(h)
		totems.delay = 0.1
		totems.Destroy = true
		for i = 1, 4 do
			local totem = CreateFrame('StatusBar', nil, totems)
			totem:SetSize((self.Portrait:GetWidth() / 4) - 2, 4)
			totem:SetStatusBarTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
			totem:SetFrameLevel(4)
			totem:SetMinMaxValues(0, 1)
			if (i == 1) then
				totem:SetPoint('LEFT', totems, 'LEFT', 1, 1)
			else
				totem:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', totems[i - 1], 'TOPRIGHT', 2, 0)
			end
			local totemBG = totem:CreateTexture(nil, 'BACKGROUND')
			totemBG:SetAllPoints(totem)
			totemBG:SetTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)
			totem.bg = totemBG
			totem.bg.multiplier = 0.3
			totems[i] = totem
		end
		self.TotemBar = totems
	end
end

the only issue now is the background color as the totems tick down is white, when I want it black. I'm sure I can fiddle around and figure that out, but incase someone sees something obvious, pointing me in the right direction would be helpful.

thanks again

Look for SetBackdropColor and change the 1's to 0's. =P

[maltese]

Thats what I thought too.. but still white

You are setting the background for each totem indicator to this texture:

totemBG:SetTexture(cfg.statusbar_texture)

If you are not setting a solid colour as the texture, then you will need to set the vertex colour.

[maltese]

aye! just found that right as you posted. I just commented it out and its working properly. thanks I've edited my code above for anyone that is intrested in getting oUF_TotemBars into oUF_Drk.

Only one glaring error left in my layout which seems to be plaguing every oUF layout, right click menu not working properly in a raid.

EDIT: I actually went back and put the bg texture back in and added the multiplier code, working exactly like it should.
