Class colored player frames (pics included)

Hey guys,

I was curious to know if anyone knows the addon to change player target/focus frames to be class colored.

Thanks.

For clarification's sake, you only want the background of the name frame colored, you don't want anything else present in the screenshots? (For example the class icon instead of character portrait on that target frame in the second SS?)
There are plenty of addons that include the name background coloring, but also have a ton of other tweaks and features (though IDK if they're still working, I don't care for the default UF's myself and use SUF on live).

If all you want is the name background colored for certain units, I can upload that right now, as I had done that for beta.

If you wanted a ton of other options, you could try something like UnitFramesImproved or Sennetta's Custom Script UI or one of the other addons that include that.

As for the particular addon that the screenshot is likely of, I think it's a modified version of Santa UI(specifically Santa UI Textures ), that's why the outlines of the unit frames are darker, in case you were wondering.

Edit:

File uploaded and likely approved at any moment. Fabulous mods are fabulous.

Here it is if you want it.

awesome! just what I was looking for!

Thanks! :)

Hey, so I pretty much have my frames the way I wanted with your awesome addon script and santaUI textures, but there seems to be an issue with my health/mana/energy bar. I dont know what is causing this but the class color appears to also be the backdrop of my resource/health bars. I'll link a pic to show you what I mean.

I did this the other day too, you actually have to create a new texture correctly sized and parented to PlayerFrameBackground rather than modifying the frame itself - else, as you've noticed, the entire unit background is recoloured.

Lua Code:

--
    if PlayerFrame:IsShown() and not bg then
        local _, class = UnitClass("player")
        local colour = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]
        local bg = PlayerFrame:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")
            
        bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", PlayerFrameBackground)
        bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", PlayerFrameBackground, 0, 22)
        bg:SetVertexColor(colour.r, colour.g, colour.b, .95)
        bg:SetTexture("texturepath")
    end

Sorry im pretty new to coding with .lua. How would I go about turning this into an addon?

You could use http://addon.bool.no :)

Sorry guys, I still can't seem to fix it... Does anyone have a working solution?

Collecting the posted snippets I'd try it this way :)

Lua Code:

local ClassColorUnits = {
    ["target"] = {
        ["name"] = "TargetFrame",
        ["back"] = "TargetFrame",
        ["x-offset"] = -104,
        ["y-offset"] = 60,
        ["x-offset2"] = 6,
        ["y-offset2"] = -22,
    },
    ["player"] = {
        ["name"] = "PlayerFrame",
        ["back"] = "PlayerFrameBackground",
        ["x-offset"] = 0,
        ["y-offset"] = 22,
        ["x-offset2"] = 0,
        ["y-offset2"] = 0,
    },
    ["focus"] = {
        ["name"] = "FocusFrame",
        ["back"] = "FocusFrame",
        ["x-offset"] = -104,
        ["y-offset"] = 60,
        ["x-offset2"] = 6,
        ["y-offset2"] = -22,
    },
}
local function updateClassColor(unit)
    if(unit and UnitExists(unit)) then
        local _,class = UnitClass(unit)
        if(class and RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]) then
            if(ClassColorUnits[unit]) then
                local uf = _G[ClassColorUnits[unit]['name']]
                local bg = _G[ClassColorUnits[unit]['back']]
                if(not uf['unitClassColorBack']) then
                    uf['unitClassColorBack'] = uf:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")
                    uf['unitClassColorBack']:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bg, ClassColorUnits[unit]['x-offset2'], ClassColorUnits[unit]['y-offset2'])
                    uf['unitClassColorBack']:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bg, ClassColorUnits[unit]['x-offset'], ClassColorUnits[unit]['y-offset'])
                    uf['unitClassColorBack']:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-StatusBar")
                end
                local col = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]
                uf['unitClassColorBack']:SetVertexColor(col['r'], col['g'], col['b'])
            end
        end
    end
end
 
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED")
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED")
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event)
    if(event=="PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED") then
        updateClassColor('focus')
    elseif(event=="PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED") then
        updateClassColor('target')
    elseif(event=="PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD") then
        updateClassColor('player')
        self:UnregisterEvent(event)
    end
end)

WOOT :banana::banana:

thanks!

Wait a few hours ... normally I get some corrections to my code ;)

Is there a way to edit the lua to make friendly NPCs green and enemy NPCs red?

Right now their class colored and it looks akward (banker is brown(warrior)) lol

For a quick solution you can remove the target part and it will just color player and focus.

Lua Code:

["target"] = {
        ["name"] = "TargetFrame",
        ["back"] = "TargetFrame",
        ["x-offset"] = -104,
        ["y-offset"] = 60,
        ["x-offset2"] = 6,
        ["y-offset2"] = -22,
    },

For a longer solution replace the 'SetVertexColor' line with

Lua Code:

if(not UnitIsPlayer(unit)) then
                    uf['unitClassColorBack']:SetVertexColor(0, 0, 0, 0)
                else
                    uf['unitClassColorBack']:SetVertexColor(col['r'], col['g'], col['b'],1)
                end

NPC are mostly warriors or mages. Thats a generic value for them :)
