Thank you for your reply.

I can confirm this (maybe I should have had my simple test bar actually track something when I first tested with it). Even when putting SetTexCoord() inside the same function that updates the status bar value, it barely works (only when the value's stopped changing for a few seconds).

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    local tex = f:CreateTexture()
    tex:SetAtlas("UI-HUD-UnitFrame-Player-PortraitOff-Bar-Health-Status")
    tex:SetTexCoord(0.1, 0.9, 0, 1)
    ElanthisStatusBar = CreateFrame("StatusBar")
    ElanthisStatusBar:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, -30)
    ElanthisStatusBar:SetSize(126, 12)
    ElanthisStatusBar:SetStatusBarTexture(tex)
 
    ElanthisStatusBar:RegisterEvent("UNIT_POWER_FREQUENT")
    ElanthisStatusBar:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
        local unitID = ...
        if not UnitIsPlayer(unitID) then return end
        local maxPower = UnitPowerMax(unitID)
        local currentPower = UnitPower(unitID)
        self:SetMinMaxValues(0, maxPower)
        self:SetValue(currentPower)
        -- tex:SetTexCoord(0.1, 0.9, 0, 1)
    end)
end)

I tried that earlier (sorry, I should have said so) and yea, it seems to be specific to the SetTexCoord() method as a whole.


Do you by chance know if it's possible to define new atlas members from Blizzards atlas' (so I can crop the bar textures "right at the source")?

Else it is probably easier to make up my own texture file with the desired bar texture.
