then I would use something like this

local name, realm = UnitName(unit)
return "%s-%s", name, realm

then I would use something like this

local name, realm = UnitName(unit)
return "%s-%s", name, realm

Like i said, i want ONLY realm, not name or anything if at all possible :p

Quote from Starinnia

local _, realm = UnitName(unit)
return realm

So, something like that?

Worked like a charm, thanks

This btw will return a {err} for anyone on your realm.

I'm trying to craft a custom LuaText that changes the color of the unit frame's name if it has a bleed on it, but it isn't working for some reason. I also added UNIT_AURA to the event list. Anyone know what is wrong with it?

local buff1 = UnitAura(Name(unit),"Mangle (Cat)","HARMFUL")
local buff2 = UnitAura(Name(unit),"Trauma","HARMFUL")
if ( buff1 or buff2 ) then
 return '|cffff0000%s',Name(unit)
else
 return '%s',Name(unit)
end
 

Ok. I fixed it. Whenever Mangle or Trauma is on the target, the target's name is red.

local buff1 = UnitAura("target","Mangle (Cat)",nil,"HARMFUL")
local buff2 = UnitAura("target","Trauma",nil,"HARMFUL")
if ( buff1 or buff2 ) then
 return '|cffff0000%s',Name(unit)
else
 return '%s',Name(unit)
end

Hello,
is it possible to add offsets to the texts? i've tried a little bit around, but couldn't get it to work yet...
Thanks :>

Is there any way to display text in a Descending fashion? Something akin to

R
a
i
d
1

vs

Raid1

I'm no Lua expert, but try this on for size:

local mystring = "Raid 1"

local newstring, _ = string.gsub(mystring, "(.)", "%1\n")

I'm strugeling on this one, help would be appreciated. Somehow it isnt working out. Should show colored timer if its my shield and unicolored timer if it isnt mine.

Outline()
local _, _, _, _, _, _, expires, caster, _ = UnitAura(unit,"Sacred Shield")
	if caster == "player" then
		local rem = - (GetTime() - expires)
		UpdateIn(0.25)
			if rem > 45 then 
			return "|cff00ff00%d|r", rem
			elseif rem >30 then
 			return "|cffffff00%d|r", rem
			elseif rem > 15 then
 			return "|cffffa500%d|r",rem
			elseif rem > 0 then
 			return "|cffff0000%d|r",rem
			end
	elseif caster ~= "player" then
	local rem = - (GetTime() - expires)
	UpdateIn(0.25)
		if rem > 0 then 
		return "|cffffff00%d|r", rem
		end
	end

Hiya,

I like to have buffs show up as short coloured text next to my group and raid frames. I've got this working lovely on my priest, with Fort and Spi showing if people don't have those buffs, and Sh, R, M and Shielded showing up if people do have the relevant buffs.

However as I like to have a universal appearance between characters, and I like to tweak my layout every other week or so, I was trying to condense the two into one luatext which checks player class then uses the appropriate bit, so that I didn't have to use a seperate layout on each character.

Try as I might I just get errors about not ending functions properly or I get no error, but no text either. Would anyone be good enough to help me with this or point me in the right direction please?

Edit: Spent some more time trying things out and got an error I could work with and managed to get what I wanted working. In case anyone else wants something similar here's what I'm using:

local englishClass = UnitClass("player")
local i = 1
local fort,spirit,shadow,renew,mend,shield = true,true,false,false,false,false
local wild,thorns,rejuv,regrow= true,false,false,false
while true do
local name = UnitAura(unit,i,HELPFUL)
   if not name then
      break
   elseif name == "Prayer of Fortitude" or name == "Power Word: Fortitude" then
      fort = false
   elseif name == "Prayer of Spirit" or name == "Divine Spirit" then
      spirit = false
   elseif name == "Prayer of Shadow Protection" or name == "Shadow Protection" then
      shadow = true
   elseif name == "Renew" then
      renew = true
   elseif name == "Prayer of Mending" then
      mend = true
   elseif name == "Power Word: Shield" then
      shield = true
   elseif name == "Mark of the Wild" or name == "Gift of the Wild" then
      wild = false
   elseif name == "Thorns" then
      thorns = true
   elseif name == "Rejuvenation" then
      rejuv = true
   elseif name =="Regrowth" then
      regrow = true
   end
i = i + 1
end
if englishClass == "Priest" then 
return "|cff00BFFF%s|r |cff99FFFF%s|r |cffCC33FF%s|r |cff3FFF3F%s|r |cffE6CE77%s|r %s",fort and "Fort" or '',spirit and "Spi" or '',shadow and "Sh" or '',renew and "R" or '',mend and "M" or '',shield and "Shielded" or ''
elseif englishClass == "Druid" then
return "|cffBA55D3%s|r |cffCD6839%s|r |cff9900cc%s|r |cff33FF33%s|r",wild and "Wild" or '',thorns and "Th" or '',rejuv and "R" or '',regrow and "Re" or ''
end

I'm a nib when it comes to Lua texts, but how can I make my Health and Power look like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd3dTXRorp0&feature=player_embedded

I'd like to share the code I use to force a 25/10man raid layout when inside a 25/10man raid instance, the purpose for this code is for those of you who use layouts for 40man that are scaled down and when you raid your guild has more than 25 people in the raid waiting to be subbed in or whatnot. This will force it to only show the raid 25 layout (set the raid 25layout to only shows groups 1-5 and it will hide the other groups)


Step 1:

Add two new events go to the pitbull menu, go to modules, go to lua texts, in the new event box your going to add in three differant ones, both of update for checklist should be set to "player"

Type in exactly this:

PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD
RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE
ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA

Now go create a new lua text for your player layout Below the text box use the event dropdown menu and select, PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD, RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE, and ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA.

This is the code I used for this:

local zone = GetRealZoneText()
local inInstance, instanceType = IsInInstance()
if inInstance and instanceType == "raid" then
if zone == "Icecrown Citadel" or zone == "Trial of the Crusader" or zone == "Ulduar" or zone == "Vault of Archavon" or zone == "The Eye of Eternity" or zone == "The Obsidian Sanctum" or zone == "Onyxia's Lair" or zone == "Naxxramas" or zone == "Sunwell Plateau" or zone == "Black Temple" or zone == "Hyjal Summit" or zone == "The Eye" or zone == "Serpentshrine Cavern" or zone == "Magtheridon's Lair" or zone == "Gruul's Lair" or zone == "Zul'Aman" or zone == "Karazhan" or zone == "Zul'Gurub" or zone == "Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj" then
PitBull4.StateHeader:SetAttribute("forced_state","raid25")
else
PitBull4.StateHeader:SetAttribute("forced_state",nil)
end
else
PitBull4.StateHeader:SetAttribute("forced_state",nil)
end

When you enter any of those raids now it will force pitbull to use a layout that is shown in Raid25 only, anything else won't be shown.

Note: this should work with just PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD because that fires everytime you enter an instance but for some reason it isn't.

Hey everyone, I've got a pretty simple question that I just can't seem to find the answer to. I've got my health text set up to change color depending upon the amount of HP I have left. This is working fine and dandy, the only problem is it's using WoW's built in HP colors. I want it to use the colors I have set for my HP bar in Pitbull. Is this possible? Here is my code:

local s = Status(unit)
if s then
  return s
end
local cur, max = HP(unit), MaxHP(unit)
  local miss = max - cur 
  if miss ~= 0 then
    r,g,b = HPColour(cur)
    return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r",r,g,b,cur
  else
    return ''
  end

Hi all, could really use some help with converting my old dogtag to lua:

[(if isPlayer then Name:ClassColor else Name:HostileColor)] [(AFK or DND):Angle] 

thanks in advance!

Is there any way to display the remaining time of temporary pets (like the untalented dk ghoul or the shaman spirit wolves)?
