Lua Help - Pitbull

Talisia · 09-19-11, 10:53 PM

Once again I am here to ask for help with lua texts for my pitbull frames. I have no real clue when it comes to this sort of thing but usually I can pick away at some code I find to get my desired result. I have been searching for 2 days to try and find what I am after this time but to no avail! =(

I'm lookign for a way to do the following:

If 'missing' any priest buff, Foritude, Shadow Protection or Vampiric Embrace to show letters (i.e. F, SP or VE) on my player frame.

I was hoping aswell if I could find/copy a similar code I could also make it work to show when I am missing other auras, such as Inner Will/Fire and also auras for my Paladin.

I would be so grateful if some nice person was to help me with this, has me totally banging my head on the desk =(

Thanks in advance!

This is untested, but maybe something like this:

Code:

local AL = {"Fortitude", "Shadow Protection"}
local AS = {"F", "SP"}
local AR, cnt = "", 0
for k,v in pairs(AL) do
  if not UnitAura(unit, v) then
    cnt = cnt + 1
    AR = (cnt > 1) and (AR .. " " .. AS[k]) or AS[k]
  end
end
return AR

Don't forget to select UNIT_AURA event on that Lua Text.

Thanks for such a quick reply! Unfortunately this is not working. Just tested and it only showed the 'SP' and only when I gave myself the buff not when it was missing.

Appreciate any and all help though! =)

Woops, fixed up the code.

You'll need to replace the buff names with their exact, full names. Fortitude is probably just shorthand, so change that one up

Tytyty!

This works perfectly, spent days looking through forums etc and this is exactly what I wanted =)

Could I just be a little bit more cheeky and ask if you could show me how to add different colours to each text/letter?

I would be so very grateful!

This may work:

Code:

local AL = {"Fortitude", "Shadow Protection"}
local AS = {"F", "SP"}
local AC = {"ffffff", "ff10eo"}

local AR, AT, cnt = "", "", 0
for k,v in ipairs(AL) do
  if not UnitAura(unit, v) then
    cnt = cnt + 1
    AT = "|cff" .. AC[k] .. AS[k] .. "|r"
    AR = (cnt > 1) and (AR .. " " .. AT) or AT
  end
end
return AR

Couldnt check this out last night but did this morning and got this error:

Thank you for your help so far, you are already my hero <3

Edit: Never mind I got it to work! I changed the second colour code! =))

Ok so I am going to be even more cheeky

and ask for a little more help if you have the time! =)

I found an old post as I was researching Health Texts and you had kindly replied with the following code:

local cur, max = HP(unit), MaxHP(unit)
local PerHP = cur/max
local hr, hg, hb

if (PerHP < 0.5) then
hr = 255
hg = 255 * PerHP * 2
hb = 0
else
hr = 255 * (1 - ((PerHP - 0.5) * 2))
hg = 255
hb = 0
end

return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s",hr,hg,hb,Short(cur,true)

I love this! and it is great for my player health frame, however, I would love to have this show 'short hp & percent' for my target frame. Have had a go myself but I am getting nowhere =P

Appreciate all the time you have taken to help me =)

  hg = 255
  hb = 0
end

return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r - %s%%", hr, hg, hb, Short(cur,true), Percent(cur, max)

Shift the |r to after the %s%% if you also want the percent to be colored.
