Still nothing, and yes it is... Idk whats' going on. I never attempted to do this before, so I have no idea what needs to be done for it to work... BEH!

May be something wrong with the setup of that particular Lua Text. Missing events, settings... something. Hopefully the answer comes along soon Wish I knew more about Stuf to help more.

What if you try just:

return "Hello World"

Get any text appear?


As for me, I'm late for an appointment with my bed

Nope, not at all. Sorry for keeping you up Nib :<

[Canities]

Cant remember where i got this from but it might help with the showing of power/mana issue for stuf...

local pType, pTypeStr = UnitPowerType(unit)
local pPower = UnitPower(unit, pType)
if pType == 1 || pType == 3 || pType == 6 then
  -- Rage, Energy, RP
   if pPower > 0 then
     -- do whatever here for displaying
   end
else
   -- energy is mana etc
   if pPower < UnitMaxPower(unit, pType) then
     -- show mana etc stuff here
   end
end

Actually i found where i got that peice of cade, its on another thread on the forum: Stuf Unit LUA help which has a load more custom LUA for stUF for anyone thats intrested.

[Seerah]

It's because you're not using a function. Just an if statement.

Hmm, shouldn't need to wrap the code in a function. Would be very odd if that's the case. Then again, I've only used Pitbull's Lua Text, which may be entirely different to Stuf's implementation.

Yep. These are the instructions/example. ^^

[Nibelheim]

Omoshiroi. In that case:

function(unit)
	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
		elseif pToken == "ENERGY" then
			-- Rogue / Kitty Druid
			if pCur < pMax then
				return "%d", pCur
			end
		else
			-- Everything else
			local pPer = ceil(pCur / pMax)
			if pPer < 100 then
				return "%d", pPer
			end
		end
	end
end

Ill go test this right meow~

EDIT: Still didn't work or show up :<

Going to try the one Canites posted real fast

EDIT2: Tried the link (s)he gave:

function(unit)
  local name, level = UnitName(unit), UnitLevel(unit)
  local clcolor = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[select(2, UnitClass(unit))]
  if (name and string.len(name) > 10) then 
    name = string.gsub(name, "([^%s]+) ", function(s) return string.sub(s,1,1) .. "." end)
  end
  return "%s |cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r", level, clcolor.r*255, clcolor.g*255, clcolor.b*255, name
end

This worked as intended. So I know it's not from my side.

Basically, if you're a druid in shapeshift form, it shows your rage/energy - and if you're below full mana, it shows your mana as a percentage (separated by a pipe character). If you're a Warrior or Rogue, it just shows your rage/energy. If you're anything else, it shows your percentage of power - but if you're at full power, it just shows your maximum power. (ie, 99% OR 78532, for example). And, yes, all you Lua coders out there, please feel free to take a look at it and give me advice on how to make it better. I haven't really done any programming since 1997, and Lua wasn't very common back then, so this is all sorta tossed together with half-remembered scraps of programming theory and style.

Maybe this may be of some help?

[Nibelheim]

Woops, my bad, I left some Pitbull code in my examples

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)
			if pPer < 100 then
				return "%d", pPer
			end
		end
	end
end

[Lily.Petal]

You. Are. Simply. Amazing.

Thank you for all your hard work everyone; Nib, Seerah, Canities.

I will make sure to edit my 1st post to show the correct examples as well as a link that Canities posted for anyone who searches for this

EDIT: I forgot about my Threat bar! ROFL :>

[Nibelheim]

Or for some extra features:

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)
			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

			end
		end
	end
end

Dry coded, so may not work

Edit: I wonder if Stuf supports MouseOver. In Pitbull you can just say If IsMouseOver() then and do cool things, like showing different values on mouseover.

OOH looks lovely, and Stuf has a toggle option if MouseOvers, it's pretty cool!

Gonna see if I can get your threat bar to work now :>

[Lily.Petal]

Something seemed odd earlier today when I was in a group...

My party members definitely did not have 1% mana lol :P
Even after mana went down (2nd image) the text didn't change.

Same thing with Hunter Focus :<

[Nibelheim]

Sounds like I forgot a *100. xPer lines need to read: xPer = ceil((xCur / xMax) * 100)

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

Thank you nib~

[Lily.Petal]

Sorry about the necro threading, but the actual reason of this thread wasn't done :P While it's awesome to get my Power Text like this, my threat question wasn't finished ;D Any ideas?

If someone could offer assistance, I would appreciate it greatly! *~Lily.Petal~*

[Nibelheim]

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

If you make this a LuaText on the Player frame, and use Seerah's OnUpdate instructions, it should work.

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

May have to adjust the |cffff0000 (format is |caarrggbb) if the red color is off. Or someone may know Stuf's Health Color variable.

[Lily.Petal]

And you're still a God! Thank you Nib, I'll test this asap~
