Tidy Plates: Lucky Charms

This theme for Tidy Plates uses the Multi-Plate feature to set a custom graphical appearance for different types of units.

Friendly NPCs will have shamrocks, Friendly players have water droplets, and other units will have a heart. The heart for neutral units is scaled smaller than the graphic for hostile units. The casting bar is shaped like a little fireball. Neat, eh?

If you are looking for an example of how to create your own custom plates, this theme is a good place to start. No documentation is available, yet, but I'm working on it.

The "local config = {}" is there to create a table/array, and store the pointer in "config". Since "config" is a local variable, it won't continue outside the scope of the file. So, each file can have its own variable named, "config". We're just using it to temporarily hold a pointer, before we transfer that value to the ThemeList.

Delete out all function declaration for SetSpecialText in your high, low, medium, and normal styles, and paste the function into your TidyPlatesThreat file. Then, you'll add a line like this (likely, next to your StyleDelegate reference):

TidyPlatesThemeList["ThreatPlates"].SetSpecialText = SetSpecialText

It worked for me, so I could send you the files, if need be.

Here's the problem: The SetSpecialText function is part of the base theme, not each style. So, you'd set one SpecialText function in the "TidyPlatesThreat.lua" file.

The hierarchy:

["Theme"] (Multi-style)
SetStyle()
SetSpecialText()
SetSpecialImage()
["Style1"] (ex. low, medium, or high)
Style data (No functions, just the appearance)
["Style2"]
More Styles

and, for reference...

["Theme"] (Single Style)
SetSpecialText()
SetSpecialImage()
Style Data

Any ideas?

I'll update my "Threat Plates" which is my multiplate theme with what SHOULD have my SpecialText but doesn't seem to be working.

You need to 'attach' the function to the theme table. Take a peek at one of the other themes (like Knurl).

Code:

function config.SetSpecialText(unit)
	return unit.health.." / "..unit.healthmax
end

The pointer to the function gets stored under config.SetSpecialText, where 'config' is just the local name for the table that will be passed to the theme list.

I can't seem to find the right name for the function. I still get nothing for my special texts.

Heya Borgi,

The 'showName' tag needs to be set in the .options category..

Code:

config.options = {
	......
	showName = true,
}

See if that works for ya :-)

Great template. I really like the change of the mood ingame by using this theme

In order to find a nice skin for tanks (as small as possible with as much information as possible), I try to include names of NPCs to the Lucky Charms. Looks like I am too stupid to do so...
......

Thanks!
