FontString for value and percent?

This is still more expensive. You're calling the functions in OnUpdate regardless. It's better to save the values to apply them to whatever requires the data than using more function calls (and you're creating variables anyhow in that snippet ).

Why on earth would you do that, instead of just update the health text in the same place you're already updating the statusbar value? Hooking your own code -- especially hooking functions in the same file where they are defined in the first place -- is never "clean" or efficient. >_<

function myAddon:UNIT_HEALTH(unit)
    local health, maxHealth = UnitHealth(unit), UnitHealthMax(unit)

    myHealthBar:SetMinMaxValues(0, maxHealth)
    myHealthBar:SetValue(health)

    healthText:SetFormattedText("%d/%d", health, maxHealth)

    -- update other things here too
end

Miss-read. I thought the bars were already defined in another addon and the op had created another addon to add enhancements to it. Apologies to the o/p.

Phanx, next time you say anything to me in these forums, lose the hormonal attitude please. I've already said this to you before, but I'm starting to think that you enjoy talking to people in the why in which you do.

ElitestJerks is that way >>>>
