latency texture on castbar

[sirpucna]

i'm trying to figure out why i'm getting odd occurrences with the below code, hopefully someone can help me fix it up.
originally CreateTexture's strata was set to BACKGROUND, but i wanted to overlap when channeling so i set it to LOW, seems to work if I do a regular cast 1st on a fresh /reload ui, but if i start off with a channeling spell, the texture goes over top of everything till i /reload ui

local lagmeter = CastingBarFrame:CreateTexture(nil, "LOW") 
lagmeter:SetHeight(CastingBarFrame:GetHeight()) 
lagmeter:SetWidth(0) 
lagmeter:SetPoint("RIGHT", CastingBarFrame, "RIGHT", 0, 0) 
lagmeter:SetColorTexture(1, 0, 0, 1)

hooksecurefunc(CastingBarFrame, "Show", function() 
	local _, _, _, lag = GetNetStats() 
	local castingmin, castingmax = CastingBarFrame:GetMinMaxValues() 
	local lagvalue = ( lag / 1000 ) / ( castingmax - castingmin ) 
	local channeling = CastingBarFrame.channeling
	
	if ( lagvalue < 0 ) then 
		lagvalue = 0 
	elseif ( lagvalue > 1 ) then 
		lagvalue = 1 
	end
	lagmeter:ClearAllPoints()
	lagmeter:SetWidth(CastingBarFrame:GetWidth() * lagvalue)
	
	if channeling then
		lagmeter:SetPoint("LEFT")
	else
		lagmeter:SetPoint("RIGHT")
	end	
end)

i seem to be missing something else.

LOW (on your CreateTexture) is a frame strata not a region layer. You didn't say wether you tried setting it to say ARTWORK or OVERLAY.

solved it with SetDrawLayer, "BORDER" during channeling, "BACKGROUND" during regular cast

local lagmeter = CastingBarFrame:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND") 
local cblag = CreateFrame("Frame")
cblag:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
	if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then
		lagmeter:SetHeight(CastingBarFrame:GetHeight()) 
		lagmeter:SetWidth(0) 
		lagmeter:SetPoint("RIGHT") 
		lagmeter:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-StatusBar")
		lagmeter:SetVertexColor(1, 0, 0)
		self:UnregisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
	end
end)
cblag:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")


hooksecurefunc(CastingBarFrame, "Show", function() 
	local _, _, _, lag = GetNetStats() 
	local castingmin, castingmax = CastingBarFrame:GetMinMaxValues() 
	local lagvalue = ( lag / 1000 ) / ( castingmax - castingmin ) 
	local channeling = CastingBarFrame.channeling
	
	if ( lagvalue < 0 ) then 
		lagvalue = 0 
	elseif ( lagvalue > 1 ) then 
		lagvalue = 1 
	end
	lagmeter:ClearAllPoints()
	lagmeter:SetWidth(CastingBarFrame:GetWidth() * lagvalue)
	
	if channeling then
		lagmeter:SetDrawLayer("BORDER", 0)
		lagmeter:SetPoint("LEFT")
	else
		lagmeter:SetDrawLayer("BACKGROUND", 0)
		lagmeter:SetPoint("RIGHT")
	end	
end)
