Power bat alt issue

In some quests like Unyielding Fists: Trial of Bamboo,the player get into a vehicle but got altpower itself.
That is, UnitPower("player", ALTERNATE_POWER_INDEX) returns the value while UnitPower("vehicle", ALTERNATE_POWER_INDEX) returns nil.
But the unit of player frame is vehicle, not player. so the power bar alt don't show up in these cases.

Here's my solution. I wonder if anybody have a better solution. :)

A better solution would be something along these lines:

Lua Code:

if powerType == "ALTERNATE" then
    if self.unit ~= PlayerPowerBarAlt.unit then -- PlayerPowerBarAlt is the blizzard frame which will always have the correct unit associated with it.
        self.unit = PlayerPowerBarAlt.unit
    end
    if self.unit ~= unit then
        return
    end
else
    return
end

Would you please post all the code in altpowerbar.lua?:)

I'm leaving for work right now, but oUF actually unregisters events with the blizzard frame's self updating which would ultimately break this.

Check out my coding for SimplePowerBar the full Lua for the blizzard frame is as follows:

Just register oUF's AltPowerBar element for the pet frame too. You could test this with http://www.wowhead.com/quest=28733/basic-botany too, as it is more accessible.

When the player is in a vehicle, the pet frame holds the player unit:
For the pet frame then: self.unit = "player", self.realUnit = "pet"
For the player frame: self.unit = "vehicle", self.realUnit = "player"

Correct. I do the same thing in oUF_Diablo.
