oUF Debuff Highlight Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: r50-release

by: Ammo [More]

This is an addon that adds Debuff Highlighting to the oUF unitframes.

Whenever a unit has a debuff it will highlight the frame in the debuff color. This can be done either on
the unitframe background or a specially created frame for the task.

To use this in your oUF layout you will need one of the following:

Code:

self.DebuffHighlightBackdrop = true

This will let oUF_DebuffHighlight know to use the backdrop for debuff highlighting. The original color and alpha
of the backdrop and backdrop border will be stored and whenever the unit needs highlighting it will color the
backdrop and backdrop border in corresponding color and set the alpha. When the debuff is gone the original
color and alpha will be restored.

The other option to add Debuff Highlighting is to provide a texture (or other UI type that supports :SetVertexcolor)
on your unit frame.

Code:

local dbh = self:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
dbh:SetAllPoints(self)
dbh:SetTexture("SomeKindOfTexturepath")
dbh:SetBlendMode("ADD")
dbh:SetVertexColor(0,0,0,0) -- set alpha to 0 to hide the texture
self.DebuffHighlight = dbh

Be warned, your healthbar is probably the best place to create a full glow texture:

Code:

local dbh = hp:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")

Because all your unit UI elements will be covering your unitframe (self) most likely.

This frame will now be used with :SetVertexColor() to highlight debuffs.

You can control the alpha of the debuff highlight on backdrop or debuffhighlight frame by setting:

Code:

self.DebuffHighlightAlpha = .5

The default value is .5 for the highlight frame and 1 for the backdrop.

If you only want to highlight debuffs that you can cure:

Code:

self.DebuffHighlightFilter = true

This is off by default.

If you want to use the actual texture of the debuff to show instead of coloring the frame do the following:

Create the self.DebuffHighlight texture and positionit, make sure it's visible (alpha not set to 0):

Code:

local dbh = hp:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
dbh:SetWidth(32)
dbh:SetHeight(32)
dbh:SetPoint("CENTER", self, "CENTER")
self.DebuffHighlight = dbh

And set:

Code:

self.DebuffHighlightUseTexture = true

Enjoy

Flarin A Frostmaul Preserver Forum posts: 290 File comments: 152 Uploads: 1	Hello- I am having trouble diagnosing my issues and I am hoping you can point me in the right direction. In my main styling function I am using: Code: -- oUF_DebuffHighlight local dbh = hp:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY") dbh:SetAllPoints(hp) dbh:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\oUF_FlarinV2\\media\\highlight.tga") dbh:SetBlendMode("ADD") dbh:SetVertexColor(0, 0, 0, 0) self.DebuffHighlightAlpha = 1 self.DebuffHighlightFilter = false self.DebuffHighlight = dbh For some reason I get no indication of debuff (trying to force things to poison you is such a pain). However, when I use: Code: local dbh = hp:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY") -- support of oUF_DebuffHighlight, which i highly recommend dbh:SetWidth(22) dbh:SetHeight(22) dbh:SetPoint("CENTER", self, "CENTER") dbh:SetBlendMode("BLEND") self.DebuffHighlightUseTexture = true self.DebuffHighlightFilter = true self.DebuffHighlight = dbh I DO get the icon on top of my frame. I realize this is probably because my lack of understanding of exactly how the frames work, but i am hoping you can shed some light for me. EDIT: Leaving my original question just in case it helps someone else. I noticed with the code below that once I changed the vertex color from 0,0,0 to some other value I started to see my texture come through. Also the "BLEND" mode worked out pretty cool for me - makes the debuff very visable on my frames. I was wondering - perhaps Ammo or some other Lua master can tell me what their thoughts are on why changing the SetVertexColor from 0,0,0 to antoher value did the trick? It looks like oUF_Debuff changes this value to the color of the debuff - ie green for poison etc, yet at 0,0,0 it seemed to fail? Anyway - here is a working routine: Code: local dbh = hp:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY") dbh:SetAllPoints(hp) dbh:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\oUF_FlarinV2\\media\\highlight.tga") dbh:SetBlendMode("BLEND") dbh:SetVertexColor(.85, 0, 1, 0) self.DebuffHighlightAlpha = 1 self.DebuffHighlightFilter = false self.DebuffHighlight = dbh __________________ "I will crush and destroy and...ooo...shiny..."

I see no reason to?

Unless you can come up with one, no.

is there a way to set the filter to backdrop and actual texture separately?

i'd like to see all debuffs on my party/raid as a actual texture to check, and just want to see some more noticeable signals for my cure work.

let me know if i don't make any sense ... i'm so bad at english anyway.

regards.

Not possible, and probably never will be either.

With some tricksyness yes

You could make self.DebuffHighlight not a real frame but a dummy table with a SetTexture function that handles setting the correct texture on the real debuff frame and showing the border. Hide everythign again when nil gets passed to your SetTexture function.
