Plugin request - "oUF_Reverse"

[Dawn]

I would highly appreciate if someone could write a plugin that enables oUF to reverse the fill direction of bars. As of now they always fill from left to right/deplete from right to left.

It would be great if one could simply add something like

self.health.reverse = true

or

self.power.reverse = true

in the layout to reverse the fill direction for a certain unit, maybe even separated for power and health.

I can try to write a function that can reverse the fill direction, based on RothUI's orb filling function. Even if I get that to work, I would still need some help getting this into a plugin and even more so to get the functionality described above.

Help, please!

Reverse the minmax values and make the SetValue deplete

[Dawn]

I know how to do that, in theory. But how do I put that into a plugin? I mean how to make it available for user specific units, like oUF_Smooth or your BarFader.

It's just that I think it's cleaner to put this into a plugin instead of putting it into the layout itself. Especially since a plugin can be used by a lot of people.


Edit:
I'm trying it like that...

health function

local updateHealth = function(self, event, unit, bar, min, max)
        bar:SetMinMaxValues(max, 0)
	bar:SetValue(max - min)
end

at the end of the layout

	self.OverrideUpdateHealth = updateHealth
	self.OverrideUpdatePower = updatePower

However, I'm only getting empty bars for now. Meh!

I personally use reverse growing in my layout for the unitframes on the right side of the screen. You can take a look at it here, the update function does however need some cleaning ( ):

Thanks for the hint, I tried to implement that code into my layout, but it keeps being a pain. I can't get the statusbar's color to be the right one like I have it for non reversed bars.

It's also a "little" distracting that the background becomes the foreground and vice versa.
