My boyfriend helped me out with the coding but it was like 16:34am at 4:34PM. Yours fixed it, but it still says AM when its really PM.

Haha I figured that out on my own now the last last issue is when its say.. 11:03PM it will say 11:3PM which is kinda annoying

Oh right ...
Well, you could change the minute variable that's near the end of format() to format("%02d", minute) and it'll pad any single digits with a zero.

Alrighty, now its working perfect! Thanks so much for your help, between you and my boyfriend I was able to figure it out . Here is the end result for anyone who wants to add in the time.

				-- Server Clock
				local hour, minute = GetGameTime()
				local aptime, ampm = true, "am"
				if aptime then
				   if hour == 0 then hour = 12 end
				   if hour > 12 then hour = hour - 12 end
				   if hour <= 12 then ampm = "pm" end
				else ampm = "" end
				
                return format(":: %s :: %s%%dur :: %sfps :: %smB :: %sms :: %s:%02d%s ::", gold, durability, fps, memory, latency, hour, minute, ampm)
            end, update = 1,

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone could help me.

I'm trying to create a panel that starts black, and then changes color when in combat to show my threat level.

I've found the API used for this: API GetThreatStatusColor()

I so far have this:

{	name="Stuf.Player.Frame.BG",
	parent="Stuf.units.player",
	anchor_to="center", anchor_to="center",
	width=256, height=32,
	bg_color="0 0 0", bg_alpha=1,
	OnUpdate = function(self)
		local r, g, b = GetThreatStatusColor(status)
		self.bg:SetTexture(r, g, b, 1)
	end,
},

Thanks for any help.
Lordy.

Lordy.

That should do it.

Greetings everyone,

I'm interested in creating a small panel parented to my oUF target frame that shows how many people are targeting my target. I'm not sure on the API function for showing how many people are targeting my own target. I've had a look through wowwiki but haven't come up with anything yet.

Cheers.

Didn't see this till now, but I'll answer anyway since it would be a cool script to make. I also cannot test this in-game, so if someone could verify, that would be great.

{   parent = UIParent, anchor_to = "TOP",
    x_off = 0, y_off = -10, height = 100, width = 200,
    border = true, text = "",
    
    OnLoad = function(self)
        self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_TARGET")
    end,

    OnEvent = function(self)
        local unitsWithSameTarget, colors, colorTag = ""
        for i=1, MAX_PARTY_MEMBERS do
            if GetNumRaidMembers() > 0 then
                unitId = "raid"..i
            else
                unitId = "party"..i
            end

            -- Check if unit has same target as you.
            if UnitExists(unitId) and UnitGUID(unitId.."target") == UnitGUID("target") then
                -- Check if the unit is not dead and not yourself.
                if not UnitIsDead(unitId) and UnitGUID(unitId) ~= UnitGUID("player") then
                    -- Class coloring.
                    _, unitClass = UnitClass(unitId)
                    colors = (CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS or RAID_CLASS_COLORS)[unitClass]
                    colorTag = format("|cff%02x%02x%02x", colors.r*255, colors.g*255, colors.b*255)
        
                    -- Append class name to unitsWithSameTarget.
                    unitsWithSameTarget = (unitsWithSameTarget == "") and "" or unitsWithSameTarget..", "
                    unitsWithSameTarget = format("%s%s%s|r", unitsWithSameTarget, colorTag, UnitName(unitId))
                end
            end
        end

        if unitsWithSameTarget ~= "" then
            self.text:SetText(unitsWithSameTarget)
            self:SetAlpha(1)
        else
            self.text:SetText("")
            self:SetAlpha(0)
        end
    end
}

Awesome addon you have constructed!
im making my own UI, but i have some difficulties making a panel for my actionbars.
This is what it looks like at the moment:


the panel around the two actionbars in the middle only shows the left and right side of the border. But i cant figure out a way to show the last two borders.
here is my code for the panel:

{name = "actionbar",
        anchor_to = "bottom", width = 400, height = 70, y_off = 5,
	bg_color = "0 0 0", bg_alpha = 1, level = 3,
	border = "SOLID", border_color = "CLASS", border_alpha = 1,},

the level tag is to get it above the panel at the bottom.

hope you can help me


EDIT: found a temporary fix for it:
two panels parented to the actionbar panel, works awesome

[Zephon]

Hey!

Wanted to just start off by thanking you for the awesome addon :3

And since im not to pro at lua, I just wanted to ask a few fairly simple questions.

When I make a box of some sort, anywhere, how to I create borders on the right and left sides of the box?
And also, how do I make one of the boxes sit on top of another boxes border, without the other border showing in one of the boxes?

LPanels = { ["Default"] = { { name = "BottomBar", anchor_to = "BOTTOM", y_off = 0, width = "100%", height = 35, bg_color = {0,0,0}, bg_alpha = 1, }, { name = "BorderLineTop", parent = "BottomBar", anchor_to = "TOP", x_off = 0, width = 2000, height = 2, bg_color = "CLASS", bg_alpha = 1, }, { name = "ActionBars", anchor_to = "BOTTOM", y_off = 20, width = 815, height= 35, bg_color = {0,0,0}, bg_alpha = 1, }, { name = "ActionBarBorderLineBottom", parent = "ActionBars", anchor_to = "BOTTOM", x_off = 0, width = "100%", height = 2, bg_color = "CLASS", bg_alpha = 1, },

That's the current code im using

/Thanks alot!

I would create two panels for the box you want, anchor one to left side, and one to the right side

and at the other one, give the border panel a line that says level = "something low"
and then the box to place over the border, a higher level.
hope it helps

Hi there,

I'm new to using LUA only addons, but so far I must say I like what I see a lot. Great flexibility, ability to code your own 'mini-addons', and I'm sure there's much more I'll discover along the way.

Now here's my problem, I want to reposition my minimap to the top left, 8px from both top and left. I could do this with and addon (currently using itsymm since it does exactly what I need (making the minimap square and removing all sorts of blizzard stuff) and nothing more). But I'ld like to keep most of the layout settings localized in my layout.

I've been looking around the web a bit, and found a few sources that looked promising, but after fiddling around with it a bit, nothing is happening.

At the moment I'm using the following bit of code;

	-- Repositioning Minimap
	{  	OnLoad = function()
		Minimap:ClearAllPoints();
		Minimap:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", "UIParent", "TOPLEFT", 8, 8);
		Minimap:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPLEFT", 108, 108);
		end
	},

This doesnt throw any errors, but it doesnt actually do anything either. Am I missing something? Is this even possible? Is it something I should even want to do, or is this something better achieved by using another addon?

I'ld like to position a number of addons and UI elements precisely within my litepanels lua to ensure they're pixelperfect in the right position. Again, this seems like a bright idea to me now, but I'm a complete lua nooby, so I might be completely mistaken. Is this feasible? Is it possible to reposition third party addons (think bartender, omen, recount), and/or blizzard UI elements (minimap) at all within litepanels? And if it is, how would I go about this?

Thanks in advance for your reply,
An enthusiastic newbie.


Edit;
Ok, in a bit of an eureka moment I realised that since my code wasn't throwing errors, I was probably doing something right. On a hunch I disabled itsymm, which instantly did the trick. Doh!

I've ripped the code that actually does the squaring and hiding of the blizzard stuff from itsy, and placed it in the onLoad for my minimap background frame, and its working just absolutely perfectly. I must say I'm really enjoying playing around with your addon. Sadly it's bedtime for me now, but since I dont really have much to do tomorrow, I'll definitely be continuing my little pet project.

Before I continue however, I'ld like to ask your permission about using the hiding loop, the actual squaring, and the mousewheel zoom bits of code in my layout.

I've uploaded a screenshot of where I'm at right now, disabled pretty much everything for now as I wanted a clean sheet to work with. The UI design is all me, next steps are getting rid of the fugly clock (for some reason it won't hide nicely with the other minimap elements, I can hide it in-game, but not in the onLoad script even though I'm using the same function.), and modifying your sample statblock to my needs.

The unit frames are oUF_P3lim, which I'm using as a starting point, not getting started on oUF though until I get a bit more acquainted with lua in litePanels. At least you have some documentation .

Finally, sorry for the rant, I'm just really excited about the possibilities.

I can see what you're trying to achieve, and I think it should be do-able.
Try finding the frames you want to move with /framestack, then do similar to your coding for the minimap within Litepanels.

Ofc some addons might have configs (either within their lua or ingame) where you can exactly set their positions, or you could use Align with a fine grid setting to help visually line everything up and then anchor any panels to those elements

Hope this helps, let us know how you get on

One thing, make sure your spellings are correct if moving/calling element/frames via lua, eg some elements of the minimap are "Minimap....." others are "MiniMap....." took me a while to find a fault in my own minimap coding due to that

Just wrote this up on my blog but thought I'd shared here.



Basically the block will put a message and play a sound (when not on CD) and do apply the following logic;

• Are we Dead? If Yes Stop, If No Continue

• Is Smartervate Loaded? If Yes Threshold set to addons, if No use 50%

• Are we a Druid? If No Stop, If Yes Continue

• Is Mana less than Threshold? If No Stop, If Yes Play Sound (has internal cooldown) & Continue

• Are we in Combat? If No Message to Drink, If Yes Continue

• Is Innervate Available? If Yes Message to Use, If No Continue

• Is Pot Available? If Yes Message to Use, If No Message to use Smartervate

Hello, im trying to get the stats display to work.
At the moment im trying to show money, fps, latency, SP and mp5.
the layout for the text im using, is:

{	name = "Stats",
	anchor_to = "CENTER",
	anchor_from = "CENTER",
	y_off = -450,
	x_off = -750,
	level = 10,
	text = {
	string = function()
		-- money
		local gold = format("%.1f|cffffd700g|r",GetMoney()/10000)

		-- fps
		local fps = floor(GetFramerate())

		-- latency
		local latency = select(3,GetNetStats())

		-- Healing
		BonusHeal = GetSpellBonusHealing()

		-- Mp5
		base = GetManaRegen()

		return format(":: %s :: %sFPS :: %sms :: %s sp :: %s mp5", gold, fps, latency, healing, mp5)
		end, update = 1,
		size=12, shadow=1, font = "Fonts\\HOOG0557.TTF",
	},
},

but upon login, i get this error:

Message: Interface\AddOns\LitePanels\layout.lua:209: bad argument #5 to 'format' (string expected, got nil)

Is there any chance, that you might be able to help me?

Hi Zynix, I've fixed your code:

{	name = "Stats",
	anchor_to = "CENTER",
	anchor_from = "CENTER",
	y_off = -450,
	x_off = -750,
	level = 10,
	text = {
	string = function()
		-- money
		local gold = format("%.1f|cffffd700g|r",GetMoney()/10000)

		-- fps
		local fps = floor(GetFramerate())

		-- latency
		local latency = select(3,GetNetStats())

		-- Healing
		BonusHeal = GetSpellBonusHealing()

		-- Mp5
		base = GetManaRegen()

		return format(":: %s :: %sFPS :: %sms :: %s sp :: %s mp5", gold, fps, latency, healing BonusHeal, mp5 base)
		end, update = 1,
		size=12, shadow=1, font = "Fonts\\HOOG0557.TTF",
	},
},

To fix your code replace the yellow bits of code with the red bits. The error comes from calling an undefined variable.

I think that should fix your problem.

@zynix

For one thing, your BonusHeal and base variables are being declared in the global scope, you should make them local. Also, for your format to work at all, change BonusHeal to healing, and change base to mp5.

And I think that GetManaRegen() returns two values, try this instead:

local _, mp5 = GetManaRegen()
mp5 = mp5 * 5

Sorry, I missed that bit. If you are still reading, the code from my addons can be used for any purpose, I'd just like to know about it.
