oUF Aurawatch custom bars

[gempir]

Hey,

I'm trying to create simple aura bars that show the length of buffs. Currently I have this


I'm using oUF and oUF AuraWatch (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...AuraWatch.html) for this

I'm unsure how I could create aura bars now instead of these cooldown icons, because AuraWatch seems to be designed for icons.

This is my current setup for AuraWatch, any ideas how to create a statusbar from that?

local auras = {}
        
    auras.presentAlpha = 1
    auras.missingAlpha = 0
    auras.PostCreateIcon = AWIcon
    -- Set any other AuraWatch settings
    auras.icons = {}
    if G.aurawatch.spellIDs[class] then 
        for i, sid in pairs(G.aurawatch.spellIDs[class]) do
            local icon = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
            icon.spellID = sid
            -- set the dimensions and positions
            icon:SetWidth(48)
            icon:SetHeight(48)
            icon:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self, "TOPLEFT", -52 + (i * 52), 42)
            auras.icons[sid] = icon
            -- Set any other AuraWatch icon settings
        end
    end
    self.AuraWatch = auras

The 6th and 7th return of UnitAura are duration (in seconds) and expiration (the moment in time when the aura will expire). For every aura you want to track, you create a statusbar widget and set its properties like so:

bar:SetMinMaxValues(0, duration)
bar.timeLeft = expiration - GetTime()
bar:SetScript('OnUpdate', UpdateTimer)
bar:Show()

The UpdateTimer function should look something like that:

local function UpdateTimer(bar, elapsed)
    local timeLeft = bar.timeLeft - elapsed
    if(timeLeft > 0) then
        bar:SetValue(timeLeft)
        bar.timeLeft = timeLeft
    else
        bar:Hide()
    end
end

Edit: remember to re-use your statusbars. Create new ones only if needed.
