Quick question about oUF Tag

[Layback_]

I was trying to create a Name text which colors name with raidcolor while level is not and here's how I've done it.

A.CreateNameText = function(f, unit)
    local Name = f.Health:CreateFontString("$parentName", "OVERLAY");
    Name:SetFont(NAME_FONT, 12, "OUTLINE");
 
    if unit == "player" then
        Name:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", f.Health, "TOPLEFT", 0, 2);
 
        f:Tag(Name, "[level] [raidcolor][name]|r");
    elseif unit == "target" then
        Name:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", f.Health, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 2);
 
        f:Tag(Name, "[raidcolor][name]|r [level][plus]");
    elseif unit == "targettarget" then
        Name:SetPoint("CENTER", f.Health, "CENTER");
 
        f:Tag(Name, "[raidcolor][name]|r");
    end
end

I have added |r at the end of [name] tag in order to prevent the next texts being effected by [raidcolor] tag.

This seems to be working, but I am not sure whether there is another possible built in solution for this within oUF.
(I had a look at Tag.lua file and failed to find something that is related to this... )

That's not even oUF feature, that's just how colouring works. |cffff00ccTEXT|r will make TEXT be pink. [raidcolor] is "|cff..color_hex" part, [name] is your TEXT in this case, so you need to add "|r" on your own.

Yeah, I know |r is not oUF feature

What I meant was whether there is a replacement feature of that thing built in oUF or not.

Since you are saying that I have to add that thing on my own, looks like there is no replacement feature for that and is the one that I'll have to use.

I apologize if I confused you

and thank you for explanation!

Well, one more thing then. If you do not need to alter text colours again, you can omit |r.

f:Tag(Name, "[level] [raidcolor][name]");

will work w/o any issues.

And do you need replacement for |r? O_o If you need it that badly, you can create a tag like [r]
