wanting to load different artwork per character...

[Remsaa]

I currently have oUF_Diablo for unit frames and it works quite well with my rogue artwork/UI

However,

I am making new artwork for my Paladin and have also created new target, targettarget, and castbar backgrounds and want them to load instead.

Its easy enough to just go in and change the path that the background is looking for, but how can I add a statement that says "if characters name is" then "load this art/path"

example in the target.lua;

--actionbar background
local createArtwork = function(self)
local t = self:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND",nil,-8)
t:SetAllPoints(self)
t:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\target")
end

can i just add a "check for character name" before this?

Thanks a bunch guys

pretty much

if UnitName("player") == "Kraftman" then
--do stuff
else
--do other stuff
end

So would it end up looking like this?

Is it that easy or am i missing something?

and thanks so much for your help, great and fast response!

** edit **

didn't work for me, instead it reverted to Blizz's default frame for my target : /

I also tried;


--actionbar background
local createArtwork = function(self)
local t = self:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND",nil,-8)
t:SetAllPoints(self)
if UnitName("player") == "Kraftman" then
t:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\target2")
else
t:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\target")
end

Anyone else have a suggestion?

Just for clarification, don't forget to change Kraftman to your characters name. If you don't it will not work, unless you actually have a character called Kraftman.

Yea I made sure that was changed to my character name, it apparently broke it because even when not on the character name listed it defaulted to bliz's target frame

I am at work now but I will try taking out the "else" so it looks like this;

--actionbar background
local createArtwork = function(self)
local t = self:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND",nil,-8)
t:SetAllPoints(self)
t:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\target2")
if UnitName("player") == "Kraftman" then
t:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\target")
end


but I don't know...
