how to use "power.frequentUpdates"

[FaulTier]

Hey everybody!

Since energy- and focus-tags are to slow updated (for me), I want to increase the updatefrequency, found "power.frequentUpdates" in oUF -> Elements -> power.lua

So, my question, where do i need to cut it in to work? I've really no clue, but regarding to oUF@GitHub it needs to be placed in "Initialisation"...
Here's everything thats belongs to power:

tags.lua

oUF.Tags['fauli:power']  = function(u) 
    local min, max = UnitPower(u), UnitPowerMax(u)
	if min~=max then 
		return SVal(min).."/"..SVal(max)
	else
		return SVal(max)
	end
end
oUF.TagEvents['fauli:power'] = 'UNIT_POWER UNIT_MAXPOWER'

lib.lua

    if self.mystyle == "player" or self.mystyle == "target" then
    local mp = setFont(self.Health, cfg.font, 12, "NONE", retVal(self,2,2,1))
	mp:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self.Health, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -1, 1, retVal(self,-2,-2,-1), retVal(self,-3,-1,-11))
	mp:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
	self:Tag(mp, "[fauli:color][fauli:power]")    
    end

core.lua

target = function(self)
		-- unit 
		self.mystyle = "target"
		lib.addHealthBar(self)
		lib.addPowerBar(self)
		
		-- framesize
		self:SetScale(cfg.frameScale)
		self:SetWidth(250)
		self:SetHeight(58)
		
		-- healthbar/powerbar
		self.Health:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', self, 'TOPLEFT', 0, 0)
		self.Health:SetSize(250, 32)
		self.Health:SetStatusBarColor(unpack(cfg.healthBarColor))
		self.Health.bg:SetVertexColor(unpack(cfg.healthBgColor))
		
		self.Power:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', self, 'BOTTOMLEFT', 0, 0)
		self.Power:SetSize(250, 20)
		self.Power.colorTapping = true
		self.Power.colorDisconnected = true
		self.Power.colorHappiness = false
		self.Power.colorReaction = false
		self.Power.colorPower = true
		self.Power.bg.multiplier = 0.3
		
        local myBar = CreateFrame("Statusbar", nil, self.Health)
        myBar:SetWidth(self.Health:GetWidth())
        myBar:SetStatusBarTexture(cfg.statusBarTexture)
        myBar:SetStatusBarColor(0, 1, 0, 0.5)
        myBar:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.Health:GetStatusBarTexture(), "TOPRIGHT", 0, 0)
        myBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self.Health:GetStatusBarTexture(), "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0)
        myBar:SetFrameLevel(1)
    
        local otherBar = CreateFrame("Statusbar", nil, self.Health)
        otherBar:SetWidth(self.Health:GetWidth())
        otherBar:SetStatusBarTexture(cfg.statusBarTexture)
        otherBar:SetStatusBarColor(0, 1, 0, 0.5)
        otherBar:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", myBar:GetStatusBarTexture(), "TOPRIGHT", 0, 0)
        otherBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", myBar:GetStatusBarTexture(), "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0)
        otherBar:SetFrameLevel(1)
    
    self.HealPrediction = {
    myBar = myBar,
    otherBar = otherBar,
    maxOverflow = 1.05 -- means 5 % overflow
}
        
		lib.addTextTags(self, 17)
		
		lib.addIcons(self)
				
		lib.addCastBar(self, true)
        
	end,
	
	pet = function(self)
		-- unit
		self.mystyle = "pet"
		lib.addHealthBar(self)
		lib.addPowerBar(self)
		
		-- framesize
		self:SetScale(cfg.frameScale)
		self:SetWidth(120)
		self:SetHeight(21)
		
		-- healthbar/powerbar
		self.Health:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', self, 'TOPLEFT', 0, 0)
		self.Health:SetSize(self:GetWidth(), self:GetHeight())
		self.Health:SetStatusBarColor(unpack(cfg.healthBarColor))
		self.Health.bg:SetVertexColor(unpack(cfg.healthBgColor))
        
		self.Power:SetPoint('BOTTOM', self, 'BOTTOM', 0, 3)
		self.Power:SetSize(self:GetWidth()-7, 2)
		self.Power:SetStatusBarColor(1, 1, 1)
		self.Power.bg:SetVertexColor(1, 1, 1, 0.6)
		
		lib.addTextTags(self, 12)
		
		lib.addIcons(self)

	end,

So, where goes the magic "power.frequentUpdates = 0.1"?

I would put it in the core.lua, just to all your other Power-related stuff:

self.Power:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', self, 'BOTTOMLEFT', 0, 0)
self.Power:SetSize(250, 20)
self.Power.colorTapping = true
self.Power.colorDisconnected = true
self.Power.colorHappiness = false
self.Power.colorReaction = false
self.Power.colorPower = true
self.Power.frequentUpdates = 0.1
self.Power.bg.multiplier = 0.3

[FaulTier]

neither "self.Power.frequentUpdates = true" nor "self.Power.frequentUpdate = 0.1" (or = 0.5) changed anything.

Other Ideas?

The tag element has its own event and frequentUpdate system, which is completely detached from the one used elsewhere in oUF.

To force the tag to poll updates you have to do:

    if self.mystyle == "player" or self.mystyle == "target" then
    local mp = setFont(self.Health, cfg.font, 12, "NONE", retVal(self,2,2,1))
    mp.frequentUpdates = .1
	mp:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self.Health, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -1, 1, retVal(self,-2,-2,-1), retVal(self,-3,-1,-11))
	mp:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
	self:Tag(mp, "[fauli:color][fauli:power]")    
    end

You can also do 'frequentUpdates = true', which is equal to 'frequentUpdates = .5' on tags.

Also note that frequentUpdates on the power element isn't throttled by a timer. So doing 'frequentUpdates = .1' on it is equal to doing 'frequentUpdates = true' or 'frequentUpdates = 300'.

Works perfect!
Thanks!
