Stuf + Threat

[Lily.Petal]

I am currently wanting to make a small threat meter using Stuf's custom LUA text option.

All I want it to do is just show My current Threat% (without the % sign please) on my target, the color being Stuf's HP Red Color.

If someone could offer assistance, I would appreciate it greatly!

===============

For anyone who happens to search for similar effects for their own layouts, code will be listed below.

Link for other lua codes(provided by Cantises): Lua Stuf examples

This code makes your power into a percent(without the %); if you are using energy/mana, the text will only show if you are under 100% (otherwise hidden). If you use RunicPower or Rage, the text will not show up unless you are above 1%.

function(unit)
	local pCur, pMax = UnitPower(unit), UnitPowerMax(unit)
	if pMax > 0 then
		local _, pToken = UnitPowerType(unit)
		if pToken == "RAGE" or pToken == "RUNIC_POWER" then
			-- Warrior / Teddy Bear Druid / DK
			if pCur > 0 then 
				return "%d", pCur
			end
		elseif pToken == "ENERGY" then
			-- Rogue / Kitty Druid
			if pCur < pMax then
				return "%d", pCur
			end
		else
			-- Everything else
			local pPer = ceil((pCur / pMax)*100)
			if pPer < 100 then
				return "%d", pPer
			end
		end
	end
end

Colored by powertype:

function(unit)
	local pCur, pMax, mCur, mMax = UnitPower(unit), UnitPowerMax(unit), UnitPower(unit, 0), UnitPowerMax(unit, 0)
	if pMax > 0 then
		local pType, pToken = UnitPowerType(unit)
		local pColor = PowerBarColor[pType]
		if ( (pToken ~= "MANA") and (mMax > 0) ) then	-- Druid in Bear/Cat form
			local mColor = PowerBarColor[0]
			local mPer = ceil((mCur / mMax)*100)
			local ShowPower, ShowMana
			if ((pToken == "RAGE") and (pCur > 0)) or ((pToken == "ENERGY") and (pCur < pMax)) then 
				ShowPower = true
			end
			if mPer < 100 then
				ShowMana = true
			end
			if ShowPower and ShowMana then
				return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r |cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r", pColor.r * 255, pColor.g * 255, pColor.b * 255, pCur, mColor.r * 255, mColor.g * 255, mColor.b * 255, mPer
			elseif ShowPower then
				return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r", pColor.r * 255, pColor.g * 255, pColor.b * 255, pCur
			elseif ShowMana then
				return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r", mColor.r * 255, mColor.g * 255, mColor.b * 255, mPer
			end
		elseif pToken == "RAGE" or pToken == "RUNIC_POWER" then		-- Warrior / DK
			if pCur > 0 then 
				return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r", pColor.r * 255, pColor.g * 255, pColor.b * 255, pCur
			end
		elseif pToken == "ENERGY" then	-- Rogue
			if pCur < pMax then
				return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r", pColor.r * 255, pColor.g * 255, pColor.b * 255, pCur
			end
		else	-- Everything else
			local pPer = ceil((pCur / pMax)*100)
			if pPer < 100 then
				return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r", pColor.r * 255, pColor.g * 255, pColor.b * 255, pPer
			end
		end
	end
end

To get an accurate % reading may be out of the scope of Lua Text, as you'd want a timer to keep threat information updated. There's a few threat events you can watch out for, but they only fire on major threat changes making them somewhat useless for watching threat closely. It may be possible to utilize Stufs own Target frame from within the Lua Text itself. A crude example being:

self.ttelapsed = 0
self:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, elapsed)
  self.ttelapsed = self.ttelapsed + elapsed
  if self.ttelapsed >= 0.5 then
    local _, _, threatpct, _, threatvalue = UnitDetailedThreatSituation(unitid, mobunitid)
    if threatvalue then
      return "|cffff0000%d|r", floor(threatpct)
    else
      return ""
    end
    self.ttelapsed = 0
  end
end)

Thank you nib, I will have to try it out soon ^^

Well, it probably won't work, due to the way Lua Text functions operate. What may be best is to just make a kgPanel with appropriate events and OnUpdate routines, and set it's text to your threat %.

[Seerah]

LuaTexts can be set to run (a slightly throttled, iirc) OnUpdate if you check the "frequent updates" box.

Ohh, nice. In that case, it's just a simple matter of:

local _, _, threatpct, _, threatvalue = UnitDetailedThreatSituation(unitid, mobunitid)
if threatvalue then
  return "|cffff0000%d|r", floor(threatpct)
else
  return ""
end

hm.. I might need an explanation on how to put this in.

Do I need to change unitid to player?

Yep.

unitid = "player"
mobunitid = "target"

[Seerah]

If you put it in as a LuaText for your player frame, it will pass your "player" unitid to the function as the first(?) argument.

[Lily.Petal]

Thank you Nib and Seerah, was great help!

Hm having a different problem now, with all my classes I use:

[solid_if_mp99:Percmp]

For all my power bars; which isn't a problem, it works as intended for every class... But DK's & Warriors

Is there someway that I can have it show

[solid_if_mp99:Percmp] -- For all Classes but DK&Warriors

[solid_ifnot_mp99:Percmp] -- For only DK&Warriors

I've never used Stuf, so I'm unfamiliar with those particular clauses or where they're used, however a simple if-then-else usually works for segregating different functionality for different classes. In this case, though, it may be better to determine what power type the unit is using.

local _, power_token = UnitPowerType(unit)  -- Lua Texts usually pass the unit arg, so leaving unit as is should work
if power_token == "RAGE" or power_token == "RUNIC_POWER" then
  -- Warrior / Teddy Bear Druid / DK
else
  -- Everything else
end

I really need to learn LUA, time for me to use google to learn to put in the text :>

return ceil(Percent(MP(unit)))

hm...

[Lily.Petal]

Hm, using stuf it says when I switch to LUA:

Lua Code must have this format: function(unit, cache, textframe) <some text> return 'text', ... end where 'cache' may be used as cache.infotag (see pattern help or core.lua) and "..." are optional arguments to SetFormattedText.

function(unit, cache, textframe) return 'text' end

[Nibelheim]

What is it you're trying to achieve, exactly? Just showing the Power in standard format?

[Lily.Petal]

What I am trying to do is so that If I am any class that uses anything but Rage/RunicPower that it shows the MP value in CurMP% when it goes below 100%, but hides when greater than 99%(without the % sign).
And the opposite if they do use said powertypes, where if it's at 0% said text will hide.

Basically:
if power≤99% show if not DK/Bear/Warrior as CurMP%

and

if power≥1% show if DK/Bear/Warrior as CurMP%

Does this help? :<

EDIT: it's just REALLY annoying when I'm playing my DK/Warrior that I see a 0 in the middle of my power bar when I have no power at all.

Ahh. I like doing my Lua Texts with pure Lua. Some of my UI users reported strange power display issues when using Lua Text abbreviations.

Barebones:

local _, pToken = UnitPowerType(unit)
local pCur, pMax = Power(unit), MaxPower(unit)
if pMax > 0 then
	if pToken == "RAGE" or pToken == "RUNIC_POWER" then
		-- Warrior / Teddy Bear Druid / DK
		if pCur > 0 then
			return "%d", pCur
		end
	else
		-- Everything else
		local pPer = ceil(pCur / pMax)
		if pPer < 100 then
			return "%d", pPer
		end
	end
end

[Lily.Petal]

Do I still need to do something with:

Lua Code must have this format: function(unit, cache, textframe) <some text> return 'text', ... end where 'cache' may be used as cache.infotag (see pattern help or core.lua) and "..." are optional arguments to SetFormattedText.

function(unit, cache, textframe) return 'text' end

By any chance? I entered it into the options and saved, put it on fast update and reloaded and is still not working. Gonna go insane :<

EDIT: let me try changing unit to "player"
EDIT2: ugh Dx darn you stuf... darn you... (didn't work)

[Nibelheim]

Hmm, same error again? It must behave different to Pitbull's Lua Text. Maybe it needs an extra return.

local _, pToken = UnitPowerType(unit)
local pCur, pMax = Power(unit), MaxPower(unit)
if pMax > 0 then
	if pToken == "RAGE" or pToken == "RUNIC_POWER" then
		-- Warrior / Teddy Bear Druid / DK
		if pCur > 0 then
			return "%d", pCur
		end
	else
		-- Everything else
		local pPer = ceil(pCur / pMax)
		if pPer < 100 then
			return "%d", pPer
		end
	end
else
	return ""
end

[Lily.Petal]

Well it's not giving me an error, it's just not showing up at all. I don't really understand it.

Debug time! Hmm, I wonder if print works in Lua Text Is fast update ticked?

local _, pToken = UnitPowerType(unit)
local pCur, pMax = Power(unit), MaxPower(unit)

print(unit)
print(pCur)
print(pMax)

if pMax > 0 then
	if pToken == "RAGE" or pToken == "RUNIC_POWER" then
		-- Warrior / Teddy Bear Druid / DK
		if pCur > 0 then
			return "%d", pCur
		end
	else
		-- Everything else
		local pPer = ceil(pCur / pMax)
		if pPer < 100 then
			return "%d", pPer
		end
	end
else
	return ""
end
