So, my problem is simple beginners problem.

I'm trying to add a style for bars throug a thirdparty addon.
Creating an addon, set dependencies, etc is no problem, but right now I'm stunned because I don't know where to begin or anything.
"My Style" is basically "Beautycase", just other insets and a changed texture.

I'm looking for an example (best would be based on the implemented beautycase-style) of an thirdparty "addon", how to add a barstyle.
(Although the best and easiest way would be a prewritten code, where I just need to exchange the style name and the filepath of the border-texture. ;)

Any volunteers? :D

No one has ever created or seen a "standalone" style? :/

Thanks, with that I should be able to do it :)

Okay, i "slightly" overestimated my knowlegde and my skills with .lua-coding, so, would anyone be so kind and put the "BeautyCase" Style into a standalone addon? I need just the Code for the .lua file - the whole stuff around (toc, texture etc) and to edit the layout is doable for me.

Thanks, FaulTier (spoken Foul-Tear)

Hi,

So we're working on H-Spine 10 man, and I wanted to add a text alert which keeps track of spawned bloods, when they die, and when they get absorbed by the amalgamation. As you may know, by the end of H-Spine, there's quite a few bloods chasing a tank who's kiting them, and without going into too much strat detail, we want to throttle how many we kill at a time. Something to the effect of:

Bloods: X, On the ground: Y, where X is how many are currently alive, Y is how many that've been killed but not absorbed. Absorbed bloods are already tracked.

Unfortunately, there's no spellcast to track for when the bloods spawn, neither from Deathwing or the hidden Spawner mob that they actually come out of. The only real way to track them is when they come into combat, and I'm having trouble with an efficient way to do that. Once that's in place, it's easy enough to subtract from the spawnercount for whenever the adds cast Burst on explosion.

H-Atramedes used something like this with obnoxious fiends, I'm posting the relevant code here:

do
	local function FiendCheck(dGUID)
		local fiend = mod:GetUnitIdByGUID(dGUID)
		if not fiend then
			mod:ScheduleTimer(FiendCheck, 0.1, dGUID)
		else
			mod:SecondaryIcon(92702, fiend)
		end
	end
	function mod:ObnoxiousPhaseShift(...)
		self:Message(92677, L["obnoxious_soon"], "Attention", 92677) -- do we really need this?
		local dGUID = select(10, ...)
		FiendCheck(dGUID)
		self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")
	end
end

This basically checked for a fiend every 0.1 seconds, and once there was one, it called UNIT_AURA to check when the fiend went from pestering to obnoxious. This could be adapted here, I suppose, though the call at the end is unnecessary, I just want to note the spawn and +1 a counter to print (and a -1 on SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS Burst). My fear is that with the sheer number of bloods spawning, this'll get tiresome and possibly laggy - and also unable to track spawns properly since it's not really tracking unique spawns, as Atra only had one fiend active at a time. Any help would be appreciated, or a pointer to a spell which indicates the spawning that I'm just missing.

(Edited to add: We're starting H-Spine tomorrow, so views on viability or lagginess are merely conjecture til I can toy with it myself).
