I edited my original post with a link that allows your to turn scripts into an AddOn. I created the AddOn for you, but I suggest giving the link a go first!

thanks mate, i just copy the lua code and create my addon and give me files and then put the map in addon map, for the link you said, not good at lua that you can see! i can't get the file you u linked me and the LUA code to me working, am i doing something wrong?:S

[Clamsoda]

Well, there are a few possibilities:

I didn't write the code, so it could be non-functioning code. It appears that it would work though =X. My servers are down for two more hours, I can't test that yet.

The websites gives you your AddOn in a .ZIP file. Make sure you extract the folder to your WoW's AddOn folder like any other AddOn you download.

If you are sure you extracted it correctly, and it is appearing in the in-game AddOn list, then I'll test the code here in a few hours and get back to you.

thanks, it does appear in my addon list!

You are positive you are using the default casting bar, and that no other AddOn is trying to touch it?

Also, with LUA error reporting enabled, are any errors being produced?

Edit: Soooo, I am an idiot. I named it Blizzard..., and then WoW...yeah...just...I am so stupid. Go back up a few posts and re-download, and re-install. Make sure to delete the old one, which should have ".old" affixed to it.

I just tried it and it works.

Sorry ~.~

Yeah, I saw that, and it sucks. I'll try to redo it so the spell text is on the left, and the time is on the right.

i most say that: I LOVE YOU! thank you so much for your time! <3

Here you go. Just replace the LUA in code.lua with this, or create a new AddOn with the link at the top. Enjoy.

CastingBarFrame.timer = CastingBarFrame:CreateFontString(nil)
CastingBarFrame.timer:SetFont(STANDARD_TEXT_FONT, 12, "NONE")
CastingBarFrame.timer:SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
CastingBarFrame.timer:SetShadowOffset(1, -1)
CastingBarFrame.timer:SetPoint("RIGHT", CastingBarFrame, "RIGHT", -7, 2)
CastingBarFrame.update = .1
 
hooksecurefunc("CastingBarFrame_OnUpdate", function(self, elapsed)
        if not self.timer then return end
        if self.update and self.update < elapsed then
                if self.casting then
                        self.timer:SetText(format("%2.1f/%1.1f", max(self.maxValue - self.value, 0), self.maxValue))
                elseif self.channeling then
                        self.timer:SetText(format("%.1f", max(self.value, 0)))
                else
                        self.timer:SetText("")
                end
                self.update = .1
        else
                self.update = self.update - elapsed
        end
end)

hi, just a Quick question, if i want to remove "show total" like 1.4/2.2´and i only want 1.4 example... in the future, what do i remove/add in LUA code! thanks!

You would change line 12 from:

self.timer:SetText(format("%2.1f/%1.1f", max(self.maxValue - self.value, 0), self.maxValue))

to:

self.timer:SetText(format("%.1f", max(self.maxValue - self.value, 0)))

I'd suggest using the SetFormattedText method instead of SetText with an additional call to format, as the former is much faster, and doesn't fill up memory with strings.

You can also speed things up by using local variables instead of table members; reading a local variable is faster than doing a table lookup.

Also, you're basically recreating GameFontHighlight, so you might as well just use the predefined font object.

Here's the revised code:

local timer = CastingBarFrame:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontHighlight")
timer:SetPoint("RIGHT", CastingBarFrame, "RIGHT", -7, 2)

local update = 0.1

hooksecurefunc("CastingBarFrame_OnUpdate", function(self, elapsed)
	update = update - elapsed
	if update <= 0 then
		if self.casting then
			timer:SetFormattedText("%.1f", max(self.maxValue - self.value, 0))
		elseif self.channeling then
			timer:SetFormattedText("%.1f", max(self.value, 0))
		else
			timer:SetText("")
		end
		update = 0.1
	end
end)

thank you so much!
