Target level on HUD

[wreck]

Could you add the target's level to the HUD? I know this information is in the Unit Frame, but it would be really handy to have it right up there next to the target name since that is where I get most of the information when looking at a new target.

Would it be possible to add this as an optional plugin for nUI instead of adding it to the core of nUI?

It could be done that way by twiddling the HUD skins in the same way that the aura buttons plugin twiddles the unit frame skins.

Could you point me to where the target name/class information is rendered for the HUD? I could look at making a plugin that would do this.

Well... to see how a level element is created in a unit frame look for the key word ["Level"] in the file [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > UnitPanels > Solo > nUI_UnitSkin_SoloPlayer.lua ]

To see how to modify existing default layouts from a mod, check out http://www.wowinterface.com/download...raButtons.html which modifies the existing unit frame skins for the player, target, pet and vehicle to change their aura displays from bars to buttons. You will, of course, have to replace the unit frame skin references with HUD skin references.

Then all you have to do is spin through the HUD element skins you want to add the ["Level"] element to in in the same way.
