Stuf Custom String - Lua

[suicidalkatt]

I'm trying to create a text pattern for my stuf frames that would show a percentage of mana with the added exact amounts depending on whether the amount of mana is at max or not.

For example:

100% - 20000

or

80% - 16000 / 20000

Originally I simply had this as the input:

[percmp]%[solid_if_mp99: - ][solid_if_mp99:curmp][solid_if_mp99: / ][solid_if_mp99:maxmp]

However there's no conditional I can put to only display something when the mana is at full to add the additional max mana.

So I started working on an Lua version here:

function(unit, cache, textframe)
	local mp,mpmax = UnitPower(unit),UnitPowerMax(unit)
	local pctmp = floor(100*(mp/mpmax))
	local text
	local function truncate(value)
		if value >= 1e6 then
			return format('%.1fm', value / 1e6)
		elseif value >= 1e4 then
			return format('%.1fk', value / 1e3)
		else
			return value
		end
	end
	if mp == mpmax then
		text = pctmp.."%"
	else
		text = pctmp.."% "..truncate(mp).." / "..truncate(mpmax)
	end
	return text
end

This should be working as written however I get this error:

1x Stuf-3.3.006\text.lua:102: invalid option in `format'

Lines for text.lua 102:

local function AddAdvanceText(fs, a1, ...)
fs:SetFormattedText(gsub(a1 or "", "||", "|"), ...)
end

"text" does return the proper string, am I missing something?

You can use [color_ifnot_mp99] to reverse the mp99 tag.

Ahh cool, didn't know there was an 'ifnot' conditional.

Any idea why my Lua setup was creating a format issue?

[Taryble]

From what you posted, it looks like you used single-quotes (') where it expected double-quotes (").

The format string is supposed to be in double-quotation marks, from my understanding of Lua.

	local function truncate(value)
		if value >= 1e6 then
			return format("%.1fm", value / 1e6)
		elseif value >= 1e4 then
			return format("%.1fk", value / 1e3)
		else
			return value
		end
	end

I remembered the ifnot bit from my own interface testing, where I had [solid_ifnot_mp99:maxmp][solid_if_mp99ercmp][solid_if_mp99:%][solid_if_mp99: - ][solid_if_mp99:curmp] for my mana string (and a couple of instances where I had health percentage replacing the name in ToT/Foc/ToF/Pet frames).

In lua, single or double quotes are one in the same; You can use either.

You cannot, however, mix them. If you start a string with one, you must end it with the same.
