Erm Scott .. is this correct ?

[Xrystal]

While looking at a way to disable the duration timers for the other post I spotted this and I'm wondering if it is correct. It is in the nUI_Button.lua file around line 750. Sounds like is_usable should be set to false but I could be reading it wrong.

					elseif oom == 1 then 
						
						is_usable = true;
						is_oom    = true;
				
					end

I think that refers to is usable as in is in range or usable on a current target might be wrong though

[Xrystal]

From what I could see is_oom is out of mana which would technically mean you can't use the action button due to lack of mana But we can see what Scott says

[neuralassassin]

your right i meant the is usable as in is in range beacuse if its range it will show oom if out of range it would show that but as i said not sure we'll probably both be wrong

That is correct... what that "elseif oom == 1" means is that the reason the spell was unusable was because the player is out of mana, but otherwise the spell would be usable. So the is_usable is true and the is_oom is true which ends up lighting up the spell,m but coloring it blue to indicate you're OOM. Otherwise, if is_usable was false, the spell would be dimmed out as in "you can't use that on this target"

Aha two points

[Xrystal]

me is still confused with this conditionals *sigh* But as long as Scott says its doing what its supposed to Im happy

[neuralassassin]

Its how nUI determines what color to make the button
oom false usable true: no color normal button
oom true usable true: button is blue (oom)
oom true usable false: button is red (not usable)

[Xrystal]

ah now that I understood both have to be true to work .. hmm what if oom is false and usable is false ... equivalent to true ?

[neuralassassin]

nope cause then your out of range so button would be red

[spiel2001]

There's actually three variables at work...

is_oom -- out of mana
is_oor -- out of range
is_usable -- can currently be cast

is_usable = false, is_oor = any, is_oom = any -- button grayed out
is_usable = true, is_oor = true, is_oom = any -- button is red
is_usable = true, is_oor = false, is_oom = true -- button is blue
is_usable = true, is_oor = false, is_oom = false -- button is normal

 
                   -- color the icon based on the state we last calculated for it
                    -- I'd like to only do this when the state changes, but WoW's code
                    -- steps on our coloring if we don't do it every time
                    
                    if not is_usable then 
                        color = nUI_ButtonColors["UNUSABLE"] or nUI_DefaultConfig.ButtonColors["UNUSABLE"];
                        overlay.layers.icon:SetDesaturated( nil );
                        overlay.layers.icon:SetVertexColor( color.r, color.g, color.b, 1 );
                    elseif is_oor then
                        color = nUI_ButtonColors["OOR"] or nUI_DefaultConfig.ButtonColors["OOR"];
                        overlay.layers.icon:SetDesaturated( nil );
                        overlay.layers.icon:SetVertexColor( color.r, color.g, color.b, 1 );
                    elseif is_oom then
                        color = nUI_ButtonColors["OOM"] or nUI_DefaultConfig.ButtonColors["OOM"];
                        overlay.layers.icon:SetDesaturated( nil );
                        overlay.layers.icon:SetVertexColor( color.r, color.g, color.b, 1 );
                    else
                        overlay.layers.icon:SetDesaturated( nil );
                        overlay.layers.icon:SetVertexColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 );
                    end

Okay, think I got it .. Red = Out of Range, Blue = Out of Mana, Gray = Unusable. Rofl.

I'll get it someday. I'm one of those people that learn by using it and I think these notes help for when I do my next addon.
