Both are known and reported issues.

Balkeep · 01-06-09, 05:25 PM

Can we hope for a fix then? =P

haste · 01-06-09, 05:27 PM

Isn't the answer obvious? yes.

The leader icon is showing under the health bar.

Code:

if(self:GetParent():GetName():match'oUF_Raid' or self:GetParent():GetName():match'oUF_Party' or unit == 'player') then
	  local leader = self:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
	  leader:SetHeight(16)
	  leader:SetWidth(16)
	  leader:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", hp, "TOPLEFT", -5, -7)
	  leader:SetTexture"Interface\\GroupFrame\\UI-Group-LeaderIcon"
	  self.Leader = leader
end

How can I change the level of it? I tried leader:SetFrameLevel() and got errors.

Call create texture on the health statusbar, instead of the main frame.

Thanks for the help. Another question, with the current tag system can [level] be colored by difficulty?

Heres what I have atm

Code:

self:Tag(self.Info,'[raidcolor][name] [difficulty][smartlevel] [rare]')

I was hoping [difficulty] would do it >.<, but everything is classcolored.

I am really new to oUF and .lua in general. However, I would really love to customize oUF-Layouts or even write my own.

My question is:
Does anyone know a tutorial out there, to help me make my first steps? (I have some basic knowledge of .lua - the emphasis is on BASIC)
Is there a compendium of supported / predefined Functions and Objects for the oUF?

I searched the forum, but found no post of relevance (there was one unanswered post asking more or less the same though).
It would be really nice if someone could direct me to the relevant pages.

Thank you.

Nevermind, it works if the unit is hostile.

The only documentation on oUF is the comments at the top of some of the elements.

This is not really the correct place to ask but here goes :P
I'm getting an error from oUF_Banzai and wondering if I'm alone in getting it?

latest oUF from git

Code:

[2009/01/08 16:39:26-3400-x1]: oUF_Banzai-1.0\oUF_Banzai.lua:60: attempt to call method 'UNIT_HEALTH' (a nil value)
LibBanzai-2.0-90035 (oUF_Banzai):162: in function <...dOns\oUF_Banzai\libs\LibBanzai-2.0\LibBanzai-2.0.lua:128>

Tried contacting the author of oUF_Banzai?

Bruners · 01-08-09, 11:47 AM

i have, but no answer yet.
But i have also not heard anyone else getting this error.

Because very few uses it

I'm using a modified version of oUF_Perfect (so just raid frames, no party/target/player frames) along with the default unit frames, and I'm looking for a way to prevent the party frames from being hidden by oUF.

It appears the frames are being hidden by something in here, but I'm not familiar with the API well enough to say:

Code:

local raid = {}
for i = 1, 5 do
	local raidGroup = oUF:Spawn('header', 'oUF_Raid' .. i)
	raidGroup:SetManyAttributes('groupFilter', tostring(i), 'showRaid', true, 'xOffSet', 5, 'point', 'LEFT')
	table.insert(raid, raidGroup)
	if i == 1 then
		raidGroup:SetManyAttributes('showParty', true, 'showPlayer', true)
		raidGroup:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', UIParent, 'BOTTOMRIGHT', -5, 5)
	else
		raidGroup:SetPoint('BOTTOMRIGHT', raid[i - 1], 'TOPRIGHT', 0, 5)
	end
	raidGroup:Show()
end

I've narrowed it down some, but if someone has had experience with this, I'd appreciate a push in the right direction (showParty? /boggle).

oUF Perfect shows raid and party.

latest alpha of oUF_Banzai fixed it, should have checked that first

Sano · 01-08-09, 03:07 PM

So, I'm looking for a way to either dynamically change which unit a spawned frame is using or a way to despawn a frame. In looking over the oUF code, I did not see a way to despawn and changing the unit, well, it doesn't look like I'd want to do that.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I'm fine with it displaying both, but I want to squelch the hiding of the default party frames.

As of yet, I haven't found (or written) any frames that are superior to the default player/target/party frames for PvP, so until I find a replacement, I would rather not have them disabled).

oUF is very snappy (especially compared to the lumbering behemoths that PitBull/Xperl are), so I plan to write a layout to my liking, but until that happens...
