oUF AuraBars

Version: 30300.26

by: kingamajick [More]

About
oUF_AuraBars is a plugin for oUF which displayed buffs/debuffs as status bars. This addon was inspired by ClassTimers.

Options

Code:

--[[

    oUF Element: .AuraBars

    Options regarding visual layout:
     -    <element>.auraBarHeight
            Sets the height of the statusbars and icons.
     -    <element>.auraBarWidth
            Sets the width of the statusbars (excluding icon). Will use the
            framewidth of <element> by default.
     -    <element>.auraBarTexture
            Sets the statusbar texture.
     -    <element>.fgalpha
            Foreground alpha.
     -    <element>.bgalpha
            Background alpha.
     -    <element>.spellTimeObject, <element>.spellNameObject
            Objects passed by CreateFontObject(). These will ignore the
            following options:
            <element>.spellTimeFont, <element>.spellTimeSize
            <element>.spellNameFont, <element>.spellNameSize
     -    <element>.spellTimeFont, <element>.spellTimeSize,
        <element>.spellNameFont, <element>.spellNameSize
            Options to control the texts on the statusbars.
     -    <element>.gap
            Will add space between the statusbars and icons by amount of .gap
            in pixels.
     -    <element>.spacing
            Will add space between statusbars by amount of .spacing in pixels.

    Options regarding functionality:
     -    <element>.down
            Will let the aurabars grow downwards.
     -    <element>.filter(name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable)
            Use this to filter out specific casts.
     -    <element>.sort
            Will enable sorting if set to true or 1 (or whatever). See
            functions for info on how to override the sort function.
     -    <element>.scaleTime
            Will add time-scaling (bar widths according to the total duration
            of the aura assigned to it). Will use the minimum of
            <element>.scaleTime and the total aura duration to determine the
            width in percent.

    Functions that can be overridden from within a layout:
     -    <element>.PostCreateBar(bar)
            To do stuff to a bar once it has been created, such as set a
            backdrop, etc, use this function. Use bar:GetParent() to get the
            <element> object.
     -    <element>.sort(a, b)
            Custom compare function to sort aura's before the bars are being
            updated. Is being called every UNIT_AURA for the <element>'s unit.
--]]

Example Usage

Code:

-- Setup anchor frame, bars will grow up or down from this frame.
self.AuraBars = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
self.AuraBars:SetHeight(1)
self.AuraBars:SetPoint'LEFT'
self.AuraBars:SetPoint'RIGHT'
-- Options
self.AuraBars.someoption = value

Filters
The default filter can be replaced by using the .filter attribute. The filter should be in the form of a function which has the following signature.

Code:

function(name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, 
           expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable)

The following is the default filter

Code:

function(name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, 
           expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable)
  if(unitCaster == "player") then
    return true
  end
end

An example of a custom filter which hides the "Stealth" buff

Code:

function(name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, 
           expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable)
  if(not (name == "Stealth")) then
    return true
  end
end

Note
I primarily wrote this plugin for my own oUF layout and as such am unlikely to add many further features/configurations to it other than those currently available.

Newer changes can be found on SVN.

== 1.0.0-beta5
Imported to wowinterface SVN, updating statusbars should no longer happen too slow.

== 1.0.0-beta4
Further fix to the memory issue, hopefully sorted now :P

Adjusted the throtte again to smooth the bars some what, this may require a revisit!

== 1.0.0-beta3
Memory usage issue should be fixed.

Update throttle is now a sensible value.

The following changes have been made to attribute names:

nameFont -> spellNameFont
nameSize -> spellNameSize
spellFont -> spellTimeFont
spellSize -> spellTimeSize

Currently the old attribute names are supported (giving a warning to the user to update).

== 1.0.0-beta2
Added ability to filter the buffs/debuffs displayed.

== 1.0.0-beta1
Initial Release.

Yea, you would need to add specific code to oUF_viv, it would be something along the lines of the following somewhere suitable in the layout function

Code:

if(unit == "target") then
	local auraAnchor = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, oUF)
	auraAnchor:SetHeight(1)
	auraAnchor:SetWidth(1)
	auraAnchor:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self, "TOPLEFT", 0 , 0)
	
	auraAnchor.auraBarHeight = 200
	auraAnchor.auraBarWidth = 12
	auraAnchor.auraBarTexture = CBtex
	auraAnchor.fgalpha = 0.8
	auraAnchor.bgalpha = 0.5
	auraAnchor.nameFont = NameFont
	auraAnchor.nameSize = 14
	auraAnchor.spellFont = NumbFont
	auraAnchor.spellSize = 14
	self.auraAnchor = auraAnchor
end

That should work, although as I don't use oUF_viv myself I couldn't say for certain. You will prob want to alter the config and positioning.

Hope that helps

Ok, I've done a little update (beta2) which makes it possible to add custom filters.

You would use a custom filter as follows (the example used is the default filter)

Code:

oUF.AuraBars.filter = function(name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable)
  if(unitCaster == "player") then
    return true
  end
end

I'll have a look into the memory usage issue. I'll have to dig a little deeper into how lua allocates memory, and see if there any any profiling tools about.

Thanks for the feed back

Hi, I'm not familiar with that ui package, I'm assuming its based on oUF? If it is, you need to find where in that layout it creates the frame you want to add the aurabars too and then follow the details listed in the main post.

....

Took a bit, but I've found the problem, there is a comma missing in line 796

self.AuraBars:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self, "TOPRIGHT", -1, 29)

Also you should be assigning values to the option attributes rather than treating them as function calls, i.e

Code:

self.AuraBars.auraBarTexture = normtexa

rather than

Code:

self.AuraBars.auraBarTexture(normtexa)

I've updated the info page for the addon to make this more verbose. Another thing to keep in mind is the frame you are assigning to AuraBars is only an anchor and therefore the size of this frame has no effect on the size of the bars, you should assign values to auraBarHeight and auraBarWidth for this (defaults are 20 and 200 respectively). If the option down is true the first bar's TOPLEFT will be attached to the anchors BOTTOMLEFT and visa versa if its false (default). In my own layout, I use a frame size 1x1,

Working code:

Code:

 -- Setup anchor frame, bars will grow up or down from this frame. 
self.AuraBars = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self.Health) 
--self.AuraBars:SetAllPoints() 
self.AuraBars:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND") 
self.AuraBars:SetHeight(14) 
self.AuraBars:SetWidth(290) 
self.AuraBars:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self, "TOPRIGHT" -1, 29)
self.AuraBars.auraBarTexture = normtexa -- Texture to use for each aura bar 
self.AuraBars.fgalpha = 0.95 -- Foreground Alpha 
self.AuraBars.bgalpha = 0.25 -- Background Alpha 
self.AuraBars.spellNameFont = fontn -- Font to use for the buff's/debuff's name (previously nameFont) 
self.AuraBars.spellNameSize = 14 -- Font size to use for the buff's/debuff's name (previously nameSize) 
self.AuraBars.spellTimeFont = fontn -- Font to use for the buff's/debuff's remaining timer (previously spellFont) 
self.AuraBars.spellTimeSize = 14 -- Font size to use for the buff's/debuff's remaining timer (previously spellSize) 
self.AuraBars.down = false -- Set to true to get the bars to grow down rather than up 
self.AuraBars.filter = function(name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, 
									expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable) 
							if(unitCaster == "player") then 
								return true 
							 end  
						end

Hope that helps

Thx for the answer, got it working now

Now i just need to figure out how to filter out any non-duration auras from the timers, like Blood Frenzy.

This would work:

Code:

function(name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime,
                      unitCaster, isStealable)
      if(unitCaster == "player") and (duration ~= 0) then
            return true
      end
end

The (duration ~0) clause removes non-duration auras

Thanks, works like a charm

Now for the last part (sorry for many questions, but i just cant seem to get it to work), i wanna filter out any long-term buffs, like Molten Armor and Arcane Brilliance, but still wanna see short-term buffs like Missile Barrage and Battle Shout (if u get what i mean).

EDIT: Noticed some memory leak in large raids...

You could do something like

Code:

function(name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime,
                      unitCaster, isStealable)
      if(unitCaster == "player") 
                and (duration ~= 0)
                and (duration < 1800) then
            return true
      end
end

The extra statment would filter out buffs which are over 30mins (1800s).

I'll have a look into the memory issue, I've just be leveling since my return to the crack so I haven't had the change to use this in a raid setting as of yet.

I've updated a couple of points of the addon, and one is to try and smooth the bar. I'm trying to work out if there is an optimum value for updating, and whether I approach this from a more time based perspective (i.e short timers would get updated more frequently that long timers)

Anyway, let me know if you find it less choppy now or if you think it still needs to be smoother!
