My CombatIndicator spawns "behind" the frame.

Hello, first of all this project is really quite wonderful, but I'm running into a little issue where my CombatIndicator seems to spawn behind the actual frame:

If you look closely, the indicator is "infront" of the background, but "behind" the health bar - when I remove the statusbar elements this is still the case, so somehow I am drawing my statusbars in front of the indicator. I've tried a few things:

Hiding the statusbar backgrounds
Giving the statusbar and statusbar.bg different "layers"
Different order of things :)

But haven't got to a nice solution. Anyway, here are the relevant codes:

Code:

  self.Health = createStatusBar(self)

  self.Health:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self, "TOPLEFT", conf.borderSize, -conf.borderSize)

  self.Health:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", self, "TOPRIGHT", -conf.borderSize, -conf.borderSize)

  self.Health:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self, "TOPLEFT", 0, -healthHeight)

  self.Health:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self, "TOPRIGHT", 0, -healthHeight)

  self.Health.colorSmooth = true

  self.Health.colorClass = true

  self.Health.bg.multiplier = conf.bgMultiplier

Code:

  if unit == "player" then

    self.CombatIndicator = self:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")

    self.CombatIndicator:SetPoint("CENTER", self, "TOP", 0, 0)

    self.CombatIndicator:SetSize(32, 32)

  end

Code:

local tex = [[Interface\AddOns\bdCore\media\smooth]]

ns.utils.createStatusBar = function (parent)

  local b = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, parent)

  b:SetStatusBarTexture(tex, "BORDER")

  b.bg = b:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")

  b.bg:SetTexture(tex)

  b.bg:SetAllPoints()

  return b

end

Anyway - any help that you can give me, or hints in the right direction, would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Try this for the CombatIndicator

Lua Code:

self.Health:CreateTexture

or make a invisible frame, that works too

Lua Code:

local InvisFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
InvisFrame:SetFrameLevel(Health:GetFrameLevel() + 5)
InvisFrame:SetAllPoints()
 
local Combat = InvisFrame:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
Combat:Size(20, 20)
Combat:Point("TOP", self, 0, 9)

Both of those suggestions helped immensely. Thankyou very much.

But then you end up with an extra, irrelevant frame. Instead, just use :SetDrawLayer() on the texture to make it draw higher than the healthbar.
