kgPanels color & texture switching

[Lemmiwinks]

Hello,

right now, I use this script for changing a panel's color depending on target's class (in OnUpdate):

local _, class = UnitClass("target");
	if class == "WARRIOR" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.95, 0.23, 0.23, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "PRIEST" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.96, 0.98, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "MAGE" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.00, 1, 1, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "DRUID" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.49, 0.04, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "PALADIN" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.92, 0.22, 0.46, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "HUNTER" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "ROGUE" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.94, 0.16, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "SHAMAN" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.13, 0.42, 1, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	elseif class == "WARLOCK" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.36, 0.18, 1, self.bg:GetAlpha())
        elseif class == "DEATHKNIGHT" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.00, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
	end

Works perfectly, except for NPCs since they are usually 3 classes - warrior, paladin and mage.

What I want to do is to make it show color depending on it's reaction (friendly, neutral, hostile etc.)

So I wrote this...

local _, reaction = UnitReaction("target", "player");
    if reaction == "1" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.00, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
        elseif reaction == "2" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.00, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
        elseif reaction == "3" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.00, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
        elseif reaction == "4" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.49, 0.04, self.bg:GetAlpha())
        elseif reaction == "5" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
        elseif reaction == "6" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
        elseif reaction == "7" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
        elseif reaction == "8" then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    end

...what unfortunately doesn't work at all. What am I doing wrong and how can I merge this script with the one above?


My second question is how to make a (different) panel switch texture - again, depending on class, but as for NPCs - depending on classification (normal, rare, elite, boss). I have really no idea how the script should look like...


Thanks in advance!

Not sure if you can make the panel change texture but you can make the panels show and hide based on different parameters. So in the case of elite and so on you would make several panels and have certain ones show for different levels of rarity.

Sadly when it comes to scripts I always have to ask here to get them done but I figured this might at least give you some ideas.

UnitReaction only has one return value, which in your code is going into _ not reaction.

Also, the return is a number, not a string so remove the quotes around the numbers you are doing equality tests against.

local reaction = UnitReaction("target", "player");
    if reaction == 1 then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.00, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    elseif reaction == 2 then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.00, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    elseif reaction == 3 then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.00, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    elseif reaction == 4 then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 0.49, 0.04, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    elseif reaction == 5 then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    elseif reaction == 6 then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    elseif reaction == 7 then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    elseif reaction == 8 then
        self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.33, 0.86, 0.00, self.bg:GetAlpha())
    end

Haven't tested this of course, but it fixes the two things I noticed.

Yeah, I was actually thinking about something similar - to anchor individual panels to STUF's labels which would be shown only in the exact situation. Seemed kinda messy to me, but I guess I'll give it a shot

Zomg it works!

Well thanks a lot, I think I've got the right direction now...
