  14. f.Text:SetFontObject(GameFontNormal)
  15. f.Text:SetPoint("CENTER")

  17. f.Text:SetJustifyV("CENTER")
  18.  
  19. f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...) -- when registered events fire.
  20.     if event == "UNIT_HEALTH" then -- Fired when health changes
  21.         UpdateHealth(self)
  22.     elseif event == "UNIT_MAXHEALTH" then -- Fired when max. health changes
  23.         UpdateHealthMax(self)
  24.     end
  25. end)
  26. f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_HEALTH") -- register the events to be used (when health changes happen)
  27. f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_MAXHEALTH")
  28. UpdateHealthMax(f) -- initialise the health text
