Anyhow, your discription is this: Plays a sound and displays an onscreenmessage upon reaching < 30% health. Explain to me where in your code does it play a sound?

You could also make a variable at the top like:

lua Code:

local LowHPTreshold = 30 -- default is 30%
local f = CreateFrame("MessageFrame", "LowHPBox", "UIParent")
f:SetPoint("CENTER")
f:SetSize(512, 60)
f:SetFontObject(NumberFontNormalHuge)
f:SetJustifyH("CENTER")
 
local last = 0
f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_HEALTH")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, unit)
    if unit ~= "player" then return end
 
    local hp = UnitHealth(unit) / UnitHealthMax(unit)
    if hp > LowHPTreshold/100 then return end
 
    local now = GetTime()
    if now - last < 10 then return end
 
    self:AddMessage("Low HEALTH", 1, 0, 0, 1, 3)
    last = now
end)

And if you want to be able to change it ingame:

lua Code:

local LowHPTreshold = 30 -- default is 30%
local f = CreateFrame("MessageFrame", "LowHPBox", "UIParent")
f:SetPoint("CENTER")
f:SetSize(512, 60)
f:SetFontObject(NumberFontNormalHuge)
f:SetJustifyH("CENTER")
 
local last = 0
f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_HEALTH")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, unit)
    if unit ~= "player" then return end
 
    local hp = UnitHealth(unit) / UnitHealthMax(unit)
    if hp > LowHPTreshold/100 then return end
 
    local now = GetTime()
    if now - last < 10 then return end
 
    self:AddMessage("Low HEALTH", 1, 0, 0, 1, 3)
    last = now
end)
 
SLASH_SETHPTRESHOLD1 = "/lowhp "
SlashCmdList["SETHPTRESHOLD"] = function(msg)
    if msg < 0  and msg > 100 then
        LowHPTreshold = msg
    elseif msg == 0 or msg == 100 then
        print("LowHP: Treshold must be larger than 0 and smaller than 100!")
    end
end

And then add this:

Code:

## SavedVariables: LowHPTreshold

to the .toc file

You can replace your XML and Lua files with a single Lua file containing this:

Code:

local f = CreateFrame("MessageFrame", "LowHPBox", "UIParent")
f:SetPoint("CENTER")
f:SetSize(512, 60)
f:SetFontObject(NumberFontNormalHuge)
f:SetJustifyH("CENTER")

local last = 0
f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_HEALTH")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, unit)
	if unit ~= "player" then return end

	local hp = UnitHealth(unit) / UnitHealthMax(unit)
	if hp > 0.3 then return end

	local now = GetTime()
	if now - last < 10 then return end

	self:AddMessage("Low HEALTH", 1, 0, 0, 1, 3)
	last = now
end)

Not tested in-game but should be basically sound. Adjust as needed/desired. Change 10 to the minimum time you want to wait between warnings to avoid spamming for tanks or other situations where health is fluctuating heavily.
