oUF GCD global cooldown timer for oUF

Version: 1.0

by: Exactly [More]

This is a global cooldown timer for oUF.

Currently, it only moves the spark horizontally from left to right, centered vertically on its parent. I think that's what most people want. I will probably add more options and features later.

The addon requires a reference spell for accurate timing. You may set the spell name in your layout if it's not already included in the reference spell list at the top of the addon. Ideally, the reference spell list will include all of the spells that make good cooldown timer references. That will make the addon self-configuring and useful for multiple characters. You can add more to the list if you like. I've only added a handful so far, but I will add more. Let me know which spells belong there and I'll add them in future versions.

Code:

--[[
oUF_GCD - Global Cooldown timer for oUF
by Exactly
   
  
Example
  
    self.GCD = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, self)
    self.GCD:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', self.Title, 'BOTTOMLEFT')
    self.GCD:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', self.Title, 'BOTTOMRIGHT')
    self.GCD:SetHeight(2)

    self.GCD.Spark = self.GCD:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
    self.GCD.Spark:SetTexture("Interface\\CastingBar\\UI-CastingBar-Spark")
    self.GCD.Spark:SetBlendMode("ADD")
    self.GCD.Spark:SetHeight(10)
    self.GCD.Spark:SetWidth(10)
    self.GCD.Spark:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', self.Title, 'BOTTOMLEFT', -5, -5)
    
    self.GCD.ReferenceSpellName = '***SEE BELOW***'
    
You have to set a reference spell. You should choose one that has no cooldown 
 except the global cooldown, and that cant be interrupted or silenced -- and
 it has to be one that's in your spellbook.
   
Alternatively, you can add spells to the "referenceSpells" block at the top of 
this file and the addon will automatically choose the first one that you know. I'll add 
more spells to the list as I figure out what they are. For now, you can just add more 
spells to the list -- it doesnt matter where. 

Enjoy!

Problem is, I paste the code into OUf_Freeb.lua and I cant seem to get the spark to attach itself to the player frame, its just runs along the bottom of the screen. I'd like to know exactly where I need to paste the code and what I need to change to make the player frame the parent. Also, I'd like to shift the spark to the top of the frame. Great addon tho, it will complete my UI! :-D

The 'width' is defined at the beginning of the layout and used through out. I changed it to a number to make sure. I disabled other plug-ins to see if there is a conflict.. no idea why it doesn't work. I use modified version of oUF coree.

I only had to change the width and the backdrop because you have them set in variables. I also had to change the spell because I don't know that one. I would make sure that you have the variable "width" defined. Otherwise, it looks right.

Code:

if(unit == 'player') then
        self.GCD = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, self)
        self.GCD:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', self.Power, 'BOTTOMLEFT', 0 , 32)
        self.GCD:SetWidth(width)
	self.GCD:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
	self.GCD:SetBackdropColor(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
        self.GCD:SetAlpha(0.4)
        self.GCD:SetHeight(3)

        self.GCD.Spark = self.Power:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
        self.GCD.Spark:SetTexture("Interface\\CastingBar\\UI-CastingBar-Spark")
        self.GCD.Spark:SetBlendMode("ADD")
        self.GCD.Spark:SetHeight(10)
        self.GCD.Spark:SetWidth(10)
        self.GCD.Spark:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', self.Power, 'BOTTOMLEFT', -4, 26)
    
        self.GCD.ReferenceSpellName = 'Cure Poison'
end

I've pretty much copied you.

The frame and the spark are created but the sparky hangs out in its point of attachment rather then moving along the frame.

edit:

I tried different spells. Lifebloom, Rejuvenation, Cure Poison, etc.

That's a good idea.
