"Please add some way to spawn raid frames to your layout, Ammo (struggling atm, party hides but raid doesnt spawn).

attribute:
Code:

"showRaid", true"

Can you specify where in the lua to put that? thanks

Hiya guys, Im brand new to oUF and working with .lua in general and I've gotten some small probs I cant solve myself. One of em is to add sparkle to oUF_Lolzen and the other one is to shrink the size of the bars but only on the sides(lack of english there) I mean like from a bar with the "wight"

does anyone understand that? xD

What I've done with the sparkle problem so far is to add oUF_Sparkle to my interface/addon (D:\spel\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons) then I copied the code from wowinterface (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info8744-oUF_Spark.html)

local spark = pp:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
spark:SetTexture"Interface\\CastingBar\\UI-CastingBar-Spark"
spark:SetBlendMode"ADD"
spark:SetHeight(pp:GetHeight())
spark:SetWidth(pp:GetHeight() * 4)
self.Spark = spark

When that's done and Im starting or /reloadui WoW I get this error message ingame.

Interface\AddOns\oUF_Lolzen\layout.lua:5:attempt to index global 'pp' (a nil value)

What have I done wrong?

obviously you have put it somewhere wrong.

Yep, when I looked abit closer to the codes that I putted into my lua I found this "spark:SetTexture"Interface\\CastingBar\\UI-CastingBar-Spark"" wich might point to the wrong dir? Im not sure since its 2 \\ and Im used to 1.

also, for the width, change this

local height, width = 22, 200

where as the number 200 is the width, change that

its found at the top of the lua file

Thanks!

local spark = pp:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
that line means that it anchors and creates the text on pp (which is a local to the powerbar)
in other words, you need to put the stuff further down than the powerbar code.

ah! okay, I'll try that :)

Edit: Put it at the buttom of the lua, now I can see my bars etc but I still get the error message and I dont get any "tick"

Updated on WoWI, just wait a bit ;D Wanted to do it Yesterday but couldn't test it due some weird Internetprobs :S

Woah, now it works! thanks Lolzen and p3lim! Sorry for beeing such a total newbie but I really want to learn how to work in lua :)

Gotta start somewhere :)

ye :]

I've gotten like everything to work except when I left the bg this error message came up. Anyone know what it might be?

Interface\AddOns\oUF_Lolzen\layout.lua:104:bad argument #1 to 'strsub' (string expected, got nil)

most be something with this:

elseif(self:GetParent():GetName():sub(1, 8 ) =="oUF_Raid") then
self.Name:SetText(strsub(name,0,4))

because I cant find anything else with strsub in it :p if it helps some?

local updateName = function(self, event, unit)
if(self.unit == unit or (not unit and self.unit)) then
local unit = unit or self.unit
local name = UnitName(unit)
local index = GetRaidTargetIndex(self.unit)
if(UnitIsTapped(unit) and not UnitIsTappedByPlayer(unit) or not UnitIsConnected(unit)) then
self.Name:SetTextColor(.6, .6, .6)
else
self.Name:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
end

if(unit ~= "targettarget") then
updateLevel(self, event, unit);
end

if(unit == "target") then
if(index) then
self.Name:SetText(ICON_LIST[index].."22|t"..name)
else
self.Name:SetText(name)
end
elseif(self:GetParent():GetName():sub(1, 8) =="oUF_Raid") then
self.Name:SetText(strsub(name,0,4))
else
self.Name:SetText(name)
end
end
end

I would like a fix too, of course :O

Btw, how do you do the "Code-Quote"? ^^

Thank you very much =)
Tested and updated on WoWI as well.
