Icon Feature LUA Help

[unlimit]

I'm trying to create an Icon Feature in RDX, but I don't really understand how to get it to work. I got it to work a little bit earlier, by making

btn._t:SetTexture("Interface\\InventoryItems\\WoWUnknownItem01.blp");

into

btn._t:SetTexture(prioicon);

However, that only worked a little bit... meaning, it wouldn't update itself in combat, it would ONLY show Kill Command.

RDX.RegisterFeature({
    name = "BM Priority Icon";
    title = VFLI.i18n("Icon BM Priority");
    category = VFLI.i18n("Textures");
    test = true;
    IsPossible = function(state)
        if not state:Slot("DesignFrame") then return nil; end
        if not state:Slot("Base") then return nil; end
        return true;
    end;
    ExposeFeature = function(desc, state, errs)
        if not RDXUI.DescriptorCheck(desc, state, errs) then return nil; end
        if desc.owner == "Base" then desc.owner = "decor"; end
        local flg = true;
        flg = flg and RDXUI.UFFrameCheck_Proto("Frame_", desc, state, errs);
        flg = flg and RDXUI.UFAnchorCheck(desc.anchor, state, errs);
        flg = flg and RDXUI.UFOwnerCheck(desc.owner, state, errs);
        if flg then state:AddSlot("Frame_" .. desc.name); end
        return flg;
    end;
    ApplyFeature = function(desc, state)
        local objname = "Frame_" .. desc.name;
        local ebsflag, ebs, ebsos = "false", "bs_default", 0;

            ebsflag = "true";
            ebs = desc.externalButtonSkin;
            if desc.ButtonSkinOffset then ebsos = desc.ButtonSkinOffset; end

You should move your icon function into the repaint code section.

The create code is call only one time.

Do not use a local variable name "unit". Because the repaint function has a unit argument.
I recommend to prefix all your local variables.

Hm, I don't quite understand, could you explain in a bit more detail if possible?

Edit: Nevermind! What you said worked out great! Thanks Sigg!

Alrighty, so I got it ALL working except for a few tiny things.

I plan on GREATLY expanding the functionality of my rotation priority feature later on for all of the classes I play, so I wanted to be able to really customize the button skin and such on my feature. I pretty much copied the IconsCustom button system into my feature, except, it doesn't actually work like it should... everything shows up in the descriptor, but - for example - I'm not able to actually set the color of my buttonskin in the options even though it looks like I am, it just remains white on the unitframe.

Also, I am using "Hide Empty Button", just, whenever my icon isn't up (which is whenever I'm not targeting a hostile unit), it still displays the button skin.

Here are my two features, so you get the idea:

    local level = UnitLevel("player")
    local focus = UnitPower("player")

    if UnitExists("pet") and UnitHealth("pet") > 1 and IsSpellInRange(RDXSS.GetSpellBookId("Growl", BOOKTYPE_PET),"pet","pettarget") == 1 and focus > 50 then
        _, duration = GetSpellCooldown("Kill Command")
        if duration <= gcd then
            return GetSpellTexture("Kill Command")
        end
    end
 
    -- 2. If the mob is going to live long enough, apply Serpent Sting.
    if focus > 25 then
        if not UnitDebuff("target", "Serpent Sting") then
            _, duration = GetSpellCooldown("Serpent Sting")
            if duration <= gcd then
                return GetSpellTexture("Serpent Sting")
            end
        end
    end
 
    -- 3. If mob is below 20% health, Kill Shot.
    _, duration = GetSpellCooldown("Kill Shot")
    if duration <= gcd and ( UnitHealth("target") / UnitHealthMax("target") < 0.2 ) then
        return GetSpellTexture("Kill Shot")
    end
 
    -- 4. If you will have enough focus to use Kill Command on cooldown, use Arcane Shot
    if focus > 85 then
        return GetSpellTexture("Arcane Shot")
    end
 
    -- 5. Cobra Shot or Steady Shot.
    if level < 81 then
        return GetSpellTexture("Steady Shot")
    else
