Raidgroup # Display.

Hi.
I've been trying to the raidgroup number of my raidgroups next to the raidframe, and I seem to have some problems creating the fontstrings.
Here's what I have so far.

Code:

if (GetNumRaidMembers() > 0) then

        local raidGroupYpos = -30

        local raidGroupXpos = 5

        local raidGroup1Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

                raidGroup1Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos)

        local raidGroup2Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

                raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-10)

        local raidGroup3Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

                raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-20)

        local raidGroup4Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

                raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-30)

        local raidGroup5Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

                raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-40)

        local raidGroup6Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

                raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-50)

        local raidGroup7Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

                raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-60)

        local raidGroup8Text = CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

                raidGroup2Text:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, raidGroupXpos, raidGroupYpos-70)

        

        self:SetWidth(10)

        self:SetHeight(13)

        self:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)

        self:SetFont("Interface\\AddOns\\!LynSettings\\fonts\\font2.ttf", 16, "OUTLINE")

        

        self:SetScript("OnUpdate", self.update)

        

    for i=1, MAX_RAID_MEMBERS do

                

        local _, _, subgroup, _, _, _, _, _, _ = GetRaidRosterInfo(i); --[[name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead]]--

                

        if (subgroup == 1)then

                        raidGroup1Text:SetText(subgroup)

                else

                        raidGroup1Text:SetText("")

                end

                

                if (subgroup == 2) then

                        raidGroup2Text:SetText(subgroup)

                else

                        raidGroup2Text:SetText("")

        end



    end



end

Any ideas?

Error: Attempt to call global a nil value.

(this is at the end of my ouf_layout, design file though)

show the code you use to spawn raid groups

Code:

-- Raid frames

local Raid = {}

for i=1,8 do -- number of Raid-Groups, here 8

        local raidGroup = oUF:Spawn('header', 'oUF_Raid'..i)

        raidGroup:SetManyAttributes('groupFilter', tostring(i), 'showRaid', true, 'xOffSet', 5, 'POINT', 'LEFT')

        table.insert(Raid, raidGroup)

        if(i==1) then

                raidGroup:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 'LEFT', 10, 100) -- position of first raidgroup

        else

                raidGroup:SetPoint('BOTTOMLEFT', Raid[i-1], 'BOTTOMLEFT', 0, -30)

        end

        

        local raidtoggle = CreateFrame"Frame"

        raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED"

    raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED"

    raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE"

    raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"PLAYER_LOGIN"

        raidtoggle:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)

        inInstance, instanceType = IsInInstance()

                if (instanceType == "arena") then

                raidGroup:Hide()

                else

            raidGroup:Show()

                end

        end)

end

        end

        raidtoggle:RegisterEvent"PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED"

                raidGroup:Hide()

                else

            raidGroup:Show()

                end

        end)

end

inside the layout function:

Code:

if(self:GetParent():GetName():match('oUF_Raid')) then

  for i = 1, 8 do

      local groupNumber = self.Health:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY')

      groupNumber:SetText(GetAttribute('groupFilter'))

      groupNumber:SetPoint('anchor1', oUF_Raid..i, 'anchor2', x, y)

  end

end

add placement and a font then try it out

Error: Attempt to call global 'GetAttribute' (a nil value)

Edit: Nevermind, I changed it to groupNumber:SetText(i).
Works like a charm.

D'oh! forgot the 'self:' before 'GetAttribute', but using the index number uses less resources.

Is there an easy way to change the color of the groupnumber I'm in?
I tried, but could'nt really make it work.

make a table of colors and use the lua API 'unpack'
