LFD Icons/bars not working after 1.5x

[sacrife]

This used to work fine, now it won't. What's changed?

	local lfdrole = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
	lfdrole:SetStatusBarTexture(sett1ngs.texture)
	lfdrole:SetFrameStrata("MEDIUM")
	lfdrole:SetFrameLevel(4)
	lfdrole:SetHeight(sett1ngs.cicon)
	lfdrole:SetWidth(sett1ngs.cicon)
	lfdrole:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", -1, -4)
	lfdrole:SetStatusBarColor(1, 1, 1)
	lfdrole.bd = SetBD(lfdrole, backdrop, {0,0,0,1}, "MEDIUM")

	lfdrole.Update = function(self, event)
		local role = self.LFDRole
		local isTank, isHealer, isDamage = UnitGroupRolesAssigned(self.unit) 

		if isTank then 
			role:SetStatusBarColor(0, .7, 1)
			role:Show()
		elseif isHealer then 
			role:SetStatusBarColor(0, 1, 0) 
			role:Show()
		elseif isDamage then 
			role:SetStatusBarColor(1, 0, 0)
			role:Show()
		else
			role:Hide()
		end
	end

	self.LFDRole = lfdrole

I have a tag for LFD Roles to output text instead of Icons and it's not working too. It's showing everyone as tanks when in a party.

	-- LFGRole
	oUF.Tags["lumen:lfdrole"] = function(unit)
	
		local isTank, isHealer, isDamage = UnitGroupRolesAssigned(unit)

		if(isTank) then
			return 'Tank'
		elseif(isHealer) then
			return 'Healer'
		elseif(isDamage) then
			return 'Damage'
		else
			return ''
		end
	end
	
	oUF.TagEvents["lumen:lfdrole"] = "PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED PLAYER_ROLES_ASSIGNED"

This works for me:

if unit == "player" or unit == "party" then
    self.LFDRole = self.overlay:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
    self.LFDRole:SetPoint("RIGHT", self.Portrait, "RIGHT", 7, 0)
    self.LFDRole:SetSize(20, 20)
end

element.Override instead of element.Update

Also the Blizzard API has slightly changed...

Previous:

isTank, isHeal, isDPS = UnitGroupRolesAssigned(Unit)

New:

role = UnitGroupRolesAssigned(Unit)

the return value role is of type string, with possible values of "NONE", "TANK", "HEALER", "DAMAGER".

Is Blizzard allowing us to sort party/raid headers with these roles now?

I have no idea.

Awesome, didn't see it returns the actual role now, my Tag works now. :]

Thanks a lot.

[sacrife]

Just to clarify, does it return "DAMAGE" or "DAMAGER" because it looks like a typo

[yj589794]

It returns "DAMAGER", as in someone who does damage. It's an awful word, which I why I prefer displaying the related icon rather than the returned text.

[sacrife]

And that is why I want to create small squares instead of both text and the ugly icons :P

	local lfdrole = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
	lfdrole:SetStatusBarTexture(sett1ngs.texture)
	lfdrole:SetFrameStrata("MEDIUM")
	lfdrole:SetFrameLevel(4)
	lfdrole:SetHeight(sett1ngs.cicon)
	lfdrole:SetWidth(sett1ngs.cicon)
	lfdrole:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", -1, -4)
	lfdrole:SetStatusBarColor(1, 1, 1)
	lfdrole.bd = SetBD(lfdrole, backdrop, {0,0,0,1}, "MEDIUM")

	lfdrole.Override = function(self, event)
		local role = self.LFDRole
		local roles = UnitGroupRolesAssigned(Unit)

		if roles == 'TANK' then 
			role:SetStatusBarColor(0, .7, 1)
			role:Show()
		elseif roles == 'HEALER' then 
			role:SetStatusBarColor(0, 1, 0) 
			role:Show()
		elseif roles == 'DAMAGER' then 
			role:SetStatusBarColor(1, 0, 0)
			role:Show()
		else
			role:Hide()
		end
	end

	self.LFDRole = lfdrole

should work.
