SetVertexColor Not Working

[tenub]

In kgPanels I have a panel with a striped texture. I can change the stripe color by messing with the background color slider. However, when I try to use the following code:

local _,class = UnitClass("target")
self.bg:SetVertexColor(RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].r, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].g, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].b, 1.0)

It does not change the stripe color. Any help?

You need to register target changes.

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, unit)
	if unit == "target" then
		local _, class = UnitClass("target")
		self.bg:SetVertexColor(RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].r, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].g, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].b, 1.0)
	end
end)
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED")

Still doesn't work. I forgot to mention that my border color changes properly with the following:

local _,class = UnitClass("target")
self:SetBackdropBorderColor(RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].r, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].g, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].b, 0.25)

I just cannot figure out the texture background color. It seems like it should change but it just doesn't!

My guess is there's no object self.bg or it's not visible.

Try self:SetBackdropColor(RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].r, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].g, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].b, 1.0) instead.

No dice.

Edit: I tried changing the background to default solid and setting a fully opaque and white background color then using all forms of code to no avail. I even tried something as simple as "self.bg:SetBackdropColor(1.0, 0, 0, 1.0);".

Good Lord ... if self.bg has no backdrop you cant set a color for it. If self.bg is not a texture you can't set a color for it.
If self:SetBackdropBorderColor works then self:SetBackdropColor will work also. Just try it.

PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED doesn't provide an argument for unit since you're just changing targets. The code inside of the if statement will never fire.

I do understand. It has a backdrop is the thing and I tried your code among other things. I've tried everything. I just reloaded and half of my panels disappeared. I exited and relogged and reloaded my layout and 80% of my panels aren't there anymore. Guess I'll do a fresh install of kgPanels. Hooray...

Edit: works now, I guess kgPanels was getting too messy from my 5 or so different layouts and decided to take a poop.
