Runebar and combobar

[zork]

Yesterday I added the runebar and combobar to my oUF_Simple layout. Just want to share how I did it.

The basis of my runebar was p3lims code.
The basis for my combobar was Dawns code.

Result:
Combobar - Runebar

Runebar function hasn't changed much, just some small tweaks.

But for the life of me I can't get the runbar to show

Is this still the code you use?

  local function kiss_CreateRuneBar(self,unit)  
    self.Runes = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
    self.Runes:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, -5)
    self.Runes:SetHeight(6)
    self.Runes:SetWidth(self.width)
    self.Runes.anchor = "TOPLEFT"
    self.Runes.growth = "RIGHT"
    self.Runes.height = 6
    self.Runes.spacing = 2
    self.Runes.width = (self.width+2) / 6 - 2
    for index = 1, 6 do
      self.Runes[index] = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self.Runes)
      self.Runes[index]:SetStatusBarTexture(mytexture)
      local r, g, b = unpack(tabvalues.runes[index])
      self.Runes[index]:SetStatusBarColor(r, g, b)
      kiss_set_me_a_backdrop(self.Runes[index])
    end    
    --the following line will adjust the debuff to become reanchored.
    --self.Debuffs:SetPoint("TOP", self.Runes, "BOTTOM", 0, -5)    
  end

sorry, I realize this thread is necroed lol.

Here is the code: (modified from oUF_Freeb). Put this in player style

local _, class = UnitClass("player")
        if class == "DEATHKNIGHT" then
            self.Runes = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
            self.Runes:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", self, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0)
            self.Runes:SetSize(208/6 - 5, 7)
            self.Runes.anchor = 'BOTTOM'
            self.Runes.growth = 'RIGHT'
            self.Runes.height = 8
            self.Runes.width = 150
                
            for i = 1, 6 do
                self.Runes[i] = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self.Runes)
                self.Runes[i]:SetStatusBarTexture(yourtexturehere)
                self.Runes[i]:SetSize(208/6 - 5, 7)
    
                if i == 1 then
                    self.Runes[i]:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.Runes, "TOPLEFT")
                else
                    self.Runes[i]:SetPoint("RIGHT", self.Runes[i - 1], "LEFT", -5, 0)
                end
                
                self.Runes[i].bg = self.Runes[i]:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
                self.Runes[i].bg:SetAllPoints(self.Runes[i])
                self.Runes[i].bg:SetTexture(yourtexturehere)
                self.Runes[i].bg.multiplier = .2
                
                self.Runes[i].bd = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self.Runes[i])
                self.Runes[i].bd:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.Runes[i], "TOPLEFT", 0, 0)
                self.Runes[i].bd:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self.Runes[i], "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0)
                self.Runes[i].bd:SetFrameStrata("LOW")
                self.Runes[i].bd:SetBackdrop(backdrophere)
                self.Runes[i].bd:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
                self.Runes[i].bd:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
            end
        end

thanks Ferous This didnt work for me out of the box but you gave me a nudge in the right direciton to get it working ..

replaced

self.Runes[i].bd:SetBackdrop(backdrop) 
self.Runes[i].bd:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
self.Runes[i].bd:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)

with

kiss_set_me_a_backdrop(self.Runes[i])

thanks again ... now I will take this corpse of a thread and re-bury it.

...not yet...

Is there a new way to spawn graphical cpoints with oUF4? Or do we stick with how Zork/Dawn did it above?

Tried hacking mine together based on what worked for me prior to oUF 1.4 and what has been shown as the acceptable code for 1.4. I've created a mess - however when I click on a target it shows all 5 graphical elements - just doesn't update them. Any help would be appreciated.

		-- below function from Zork and p3lim

		local function kiss_set_me_a_backdrop(f)
			f:SetBackdrop( { 
			  bgFile = texture, 
			  edgeFile = "", tile = false, tileSize = 0, edgeSize = 32, 
			  insets = { left = -2, right = -2, top = -2, bottom = -2 }
			})
			f:SetBackdropColor(0,0,0,1)
		end
		
		local function updateCPoints(self, event, unit)
			if unit == PlayerFrame.unit and unit ~= self.CPoints.unit then
				self.CPoints.unit = unit
			end
		end

		local CPoints = {}
		CPoints.unit = "player"
		for index = 1, MAX_COMBO_POINTS do
			local CPoint = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self.Health)
			CPoint:SetSize(9, 39)
			kiss_set_me_a_backdrop(CPoint)
			CPoint.bg = CPoint:CreateTexture(nil, "LOW")
			CPoint.bg:SetTexture(texture)
			CPoint.bg:SetAllPoints(CPoint)
			CPoint:SetPoint('LEFT', index == 1 and self.Health or CPoints[index - 1], 'RIGHT', 5, 0)

			if(index == 1) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,1,0) end
			if(index == 2) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,0.75,0) end
			if(index == 3) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,0.5,0) end
			if(index == 4) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,.6,0) end
			if(index == 5) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,0,0) end
			self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_COMBO_POINTS", updateCPoints)
			CPoints[index] = CPoint
		end
		self.CPoints = CPoints

[Rostok]

put the

self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_COMBO_POINTS", updateCPoints)

outside the loop for.

[Ferous]

I just use the [cpoint] tag

Thank you!

Here's the chunk of code that worked:

if playerClass == "ROGUE" or playerClass == "DRUID" then
			local CPoints = {}
			CPoints.unit = "player"
			for index = 1, MAX_COMBO_POINTS do
				local CPoint = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self.Health)
				CPoint:SetHeight(6)
				CPoint:SetWidth(width * .96 / MAX_COMBO_POINTS)
				CPoint:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
				kiss_set_me_a_backdrop(CPoint)
				CPoint.bg = CPoint:CreateTexture(nil, "LOW")
				CPoint.bg:SetTexture(texture)
				CPoint.bg:SetAllPoints(CPoint)
				--CPoint:SetPoint('LEFT', index == 1 and self.Health or CPoints[index - 1], 'LEFT', 20, 10)
				if(index == 1) then
					CPoint:SetPoint("LEFT", self.Health, "LEFT", 0, 15)
				else
					CPoint:SetPoint("LEFT", CPoints[index-1], "RIGHT", 2, 0)
				end

				if(index == 1) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,1,0) end
				if(index == 2) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,0.75,0) end
				if(index == 3) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,0.5,0) end
				if(index == 4) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,0.25,0) end
				if(index == 5) then CPoint.bg:SetVertexColor(1,0,0) end
				CPoints[index] = CPoint
			end
			self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_COMBO_POINTS", updateCPoints)
			self.CPoints = CPoints

Hmm that looks pretty, I might do that :P

CPoints.unit = "player"
Isn't used by oUF.

self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_COMBO_POINTS", updateCPoints)
Is only used to update self.CPoints.unit, which isn't used by oUF.

Combo points also aren't restricted to class anymore, so restricting it to the player unit would be enough.

To elaborate on this, you should always show combo points, regardless of what class the user is playing. The drakes in third phase of the Malygos encounter, for example, use combo points. If you only show combo points if the user is playing a rogue or a druid, then death knights, hunters, mages, paladins, priests, shamans, warlocks, and warriors will all be unable to see their drake's combo points.

Do I remove both of these then? Just concerned cpoints won't update.

Understood - and point well received. I will take that playerClass wrapper away. I also have the position of the debuffs above the combo points bar change depending on if there are cpoints or not. I don't think I had that using the playerClass conditional, but if I need to change can I use something like "if cpoints then" to detect if there are combo points and move the debuffs up?

Feel free, but I still need to clean a few things up per the replies from Haste and Phanx.

[haste]

Yes, they have zero to do with oUF updating them or not. It was a trick to make vehicle cpoints work back in 1.3.x.

Probably the cleanest way to do that would be to add a PostUpdate to your CPoints element, and move the Debuffs element up or down depending on whether any combo points are shown.

Is this what I'm supposed to use? Just not clear on how to use it...

CPoints.Update(self, event)

[p3lim]

self.CPoints.PostUpdate = somefunction

[Toran]

Thanks. Still learning here, sorry for the multiple questions. Phanx said to add it to my cpoints element. Would it go under/above the "self.CPoints = CPoints"? And would it look like this (based on my code above):

self.CPoints.PostUpdate = CPoints
