Creating powerbar alt as TAG

[zork]

Talking especially about the Nefarian encounter where the powerbar that is bound to the Onyxia bossframe disappears once you have your own bossframes in the layout.

I thought about a workaround by using the tag system (Because I don't want to create a powerbar). Has anyone a tag at hand that supports powerbar alt?

No not at all. I'm looking for a tag based system that works inside an oUF layout not a standalone addon that has to use onUpdate scripts to track blackwing lair encounters.

mmmm, can't really call it 'workaround' as it's pretty a straight forward tag that I use:

oUF.Tags['mono:altpower'] = function(unit)
    local cur = UnitPower(unit, ALTERNATE_POWER_INDEX)
    local max = UnitPowerMax(unit, ALTERNATE_POWER_INDEX)
    if(max > 0 and not UnitIsDeadOrGhost(unit)) then
        return ("%s%%"):format(math.floor(cur/max*100))
    end
end
oUF.TagEvents['mono:altpower'] = 'UNIT_POWER'

you can also return it as the actual number, but I personally prefer it as % display.

here's the result: http://idfiles.homeip.net/Images/oUF_mono/alt_pow.jpg

Exactly what I was looking for. Ty.
