You sure the pet aint the same level as the player?

[Icerat]

At some point i swapped the reputation and experience code around for some reason and never noticed the loss of the pet experience bar, it was only after going through a few previous revision back ups that i noticed what i did, working code below:

-- REPUTATION BAR --		
	if(IsAddOnLoaded("oUF_Reputation")) then
			self.Reputation = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
		if(IsAddOnLoaded("oUF_Experience") and UnitLevel("player") ~= MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL) then
				self.Reputation:SetPoint("BOTTOM", self, "TOP", 0, 12)
			else
				self.Reputation:SetPoint('BOTTOM', self, 'TOP', 0, 5) -- RepBar Position Once at max LvL
		end
			self.Reputation:SetHeight(3)
			self.Reputation:SetWidth(width)		
			self.Reputation:SetStatusBarTexture(texture2)
			self.Reputation:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
			self.Reputation:SetBackdropColor(0,0,0)	
			self.Reputation.PostUpdate = PostUpdateReputation
			
--			self.Reputation.Text = self.Reputation:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY', 'GameFontHighlightSmallOutline')
--			self.Reputation.Text:SetPoint('CENTER', self.Reputation)

			self.Reputation.bg = self.Reputation:CreateTexture(nil, "BORDER")
			self.Reputation.bg:SetAllPoints(self.Reputation)
			self.Reputation.bg:SetTexture(0.3, 0.3, 0.3)
			
			self.Reputation:SetScript ('OnEnter', function(self) self:SetAlpha(1) end)
			self.Reputation:SetScript ('OnLeave', function(self) self:SetAlpha(0) end)
			self.Reputation:SetAlpha(0)
			
			self.Reputation.Tooltip = true	
		end		
	end

-- EXPERIENCE BAR --
	if(IsAddOnLoaded('oUF_Experience') and (unit == 'player' or unit == 'pet')) then
			self.Experience = CreateFrame('StatusBar', nil, self)
			self.Experience:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', self, 'TOPLEFT', 0, 5)
			self.Experience:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', self, 'TOPRIGHT', 0, 5)
				if(unit == "pet") then
					self.Experience:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self, "TOPLEFT", 0, -25)
				end
			self.Experience:SetHeight(3)
			self.Experience:SetStatusBarTexture(texture2)
			self.Experience:SetStatusBarColor(0.15, 0.7, 0.1)
			self.Experience.Tooltip = true
			
			self.Experience.Rested = CreateFrame('StatusBar', nil, self)
			self.Experience.Rested:SetParent(self.Experience)  -- Parent to the Experiance bar to get it to hide
			self.Experience.Rested:SetAllPoints(self.Experience)
			self.Experience.Rested:SetStatusBarTexture(texture2)
			self.Experience.Rested:SetStatusBarColor(0, 0.4, 1, 0.6)
			self.Experience.Rested:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
			self.Experience.Rested:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0)

--			self.Experience.Text = self.Experience:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY', 'GameFontHighlightSmallOutline')
--			self.Experience.Text:SetPoint('CENTER', self.Experience)

			self.Experience.bg = self.Experience.Rested:CreateTexture(nil, 'BORDER')
			self.Experience.bg:SetAllPoints(self.Experience)
			self.Experience.bg:SetTexture(0.3, 0.3, 0.3)
			
			self.Experience:SetScript ('OnEnter', function(self) self:SetAlpha(1) end)
			self.Experience:SetScript ('OnLeave', function(self) self:SetAlpha(0) end)
			self.Experience:SetAlpha(0)
	end

I don't understand fully why this made a difference but it did, i can only figure that it has something to do with the following in the Reputation bar code that sets the position of the rep bar at max lvl when the exp bar is no longer needed.

		if(IsAddOnLoaded("oUF_Experience") and UnitLevel("player") ~= MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL) then
				self.Reputation:SetPoint("BOTTOM", self, "TOP", 0, 12)
			else
				self.Reputation:SetPoint('BOTTOM', self, 'TOP', 0, 5) -- RepBar Position Once at max LvL
		end

As my knowledge improves I'm sure ill figure it out lol

Another question, whats the differeance between

self.Auras:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self, 30, 0)

self.Auras:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self, "TOPRIGHT", 30, 0)

From what I've observed the first put the aura icon where i want it 30 away from the bottom right edge of my target frame and the second puts it 30 away from the top right edge of the frame.

My question is why not use the first example, why do the various layouts I've looked at use the second example, whats the point of the "BOTTOMRIGHT" in the second example?

As always thanks for the responses and i look forward to learning from them.

self.Auras:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self, 30, 0)

is the same as

self.Auras:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 30, 0)

Sorry not sure what you mean, what do you mean by same level?

Using oUF_Lily as example

local updateHealth = function(self, event, unit, bar, min, max)    if(UnitIsDead(unit)) then
        bar:SetValue(0)
        bar.value:SetText"Dead"
    elseif(UnitIsGhost(unit)) then
        bar:SetValue(0)
        bar.value:SetText"Ghost"
    elseif(not UnitIsConnected(unit)) then
        bar.value:SetText"Offline"
    else
        if(not UnitIsFriend('player', unit)) then
            bar.value:SetFormattedText('%s', siValue(min))
        elseif(min ~= 0 and min ~= max) then
            bar.value:SetFormattedText("-%s", siValue(max - min))
        else
            bar.value:SetText(max)
        end
    end
 
    bar:SetStatusBarColor(.25, .25, .35)
    updateName(self, event, unit)
end

The red should be changed to just min and max - min

ok i got it all set thanks a bunch

[Aerials]

anyone know a layout with party frames spawned individually i could check out? trying to figure how to spawn rames as follows:

party3 party1 player target party2 party4

[v6o]

Something like this.

-- This defines the position

local player = oUF:Spawn("player")
player:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", UIParent, "CENTER", -3, 0)

-- going left

local party1 = oUF:Spawn("party1")
 party1:SetPoint("RIGHT", player, "LEFT", -6, 0)

local party3 = oUF:Spawn("party3")
  party3:SetPoint("RIGHT", party1, "LEFT", -6, 0)

-- going right

local target = oUF:Spawn("target")
target:SetPoint("LEFT", player, "RIGHT", 3, 0)

local party2 = oUF:Spawn("party2")
 party2:SetPoint("LEFT", target, "RIGHT", 6, 0)

local party4 = oUF:Spawn("party4")
  party4:SetPoint("LEFT", party2, "RIGHT", 6, 0)

[Aerials]

thanks, i'll give it a try.... just wasn't sure if there was naming or something i needed to know. was gonna be trying this:

local partymember = {}
for i = 1, 4 do
	local party = oUF:Spawn('oUF_Party'..i)

	party:SetManyAttributes(

		'showParty', true, 

		"template", "oUF_TestingParty"

	)

	table.insert(partymember, party)
	if(i==1) then
		partymember[i]:SetPoint('RIGHT', player, 'LEFT', -30, 0)
	elseif(i==2) then
		partymember[i]:SetPoint('LEFT', target, 'RIGHT', 30, 0)
	elseif(i==3) then
		partymember[i]:SetPoint('RIGHT', partymember[1], 'LEFT', -30, 0)
	elseif(i==4) then
		partymember[i]:SetPoint('LEFT', partymember[2], 'RIGHT', 30, 0)
	end
end

but no idea if it would have worked at all.
lol, didn work fully..... gonna try a couple more times this way thn try it your way

well.... doesnt seem like either way is working well, the way i was doing it gives me 4 party groups (all the same group), then they way you said doesn't do anything..... I really don't know much about the way the groups are spawned and there's no documentation for ouf anywhere and info on the actual wow api for it is incredibly lacking.

Hi i couldn't read 61 pages and the search tool didn't get me any results so i'll ask !

Is there a way to make the player border frame glow red when you are targeted by an hostile ?

[v6o]

I think oUF_Freebgrid and a few other use UnitThreatSituation(friendlyunit)==3

Afraid I don't have an example.

[Waverian]

Probably just register your own UNIT_THREAT_SITUATION_UPDATE event and manipulate your border color in that function.

Hmmm interesting, never thought of that ... thank you !

[yj589794]

In my raid frames I have a small corner indicator for showing who has threat using the UNIT_THREAT_SITUATION_UPDATE event. It shouldn't be difficult to change it to colour the border instead.

Have a look here:

I've decided to close this thread due to the following reasons:
1. It's insanely large
2. Searching it for information is close to impossible.
3. There is a entire forum dedicated to oUF here, yet people use this thread even though I've recommended people not to several times.

If something you posted here hasn't been answered -- make a new thread. Your question might have been absorbed in the mess that this thread is.
