Smooth Power Values (Digits)

[MiRai]

I wasn't quite sure how to put what I wanted to ask into words, so I made a quick and dirty mock up video. I will recommend that you watch it at a higher resolution than the default 360p embedded resolution:

Video

Is it possible to make the power value digits count 'up' and 'down' like in the video? If so, what would it take to accomplish that? Is this going to be a boatload of work?

To be completely honest, I'm not entirely sure that I'd like this change, but if at all possible, I would like to see it in action on my screen while playing before I can truly make that call. As always, any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: Apologies... the layout is oUF_Fail and here is the link.

Set a OnValueChanged script handler on the power bar and update the text based on the value it receives.

Thanks Haste this gave me the starting point I needed to get this working. Really appreciate all the help

I really like that. Especially, because I currently use "numbers only" unit frames that work fine but could need some ooomph. Please share the solution.

I'd imagine something like this:

self.Power:HookScript("OnValueChanged", function(bar, value)
     bar.value:SetText(value)
end)

Phanx's way is probably better but...

	local text = lib.gen_fontstring(f.Health, cfg.font, 18, "OUTLINE")
	text:SetPoint("RIGHT", s.arrow, "LEFT", 6, -8)
	s:SetScript("OnValueChanged", function(self, value)
	text:SetFormattedText("%d", value, 0)
	text:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
	end)
