The DogTags 3.0 Thread - Page 12

I use Pitbull. I use the standard tag for my HP and mana. I want to make a custom one that uses the same I use now ( xxxx/xxxx for both mana and hp, no %) but hide it when it is 100%.

I am assuming I can just copy the current tag and add :hide(MaxHp) to the end of it for my hp? What is the code for the mana one?

I also have my target and ToT UF set to hide the power bar if they are not mana users. I dislike the way the name, which I have set to left edge middle iirc (displays middle of the frame left side), shows. If it is long it sometimes runs into the HP of a non mana user. Is there a way to make it so that the name is set to say 10-20 characters?

Also If I'm the one with max threat on the target, is it possible to replace the 0 with: a green: MAX or so?

3 options for you to try:

[HasThreat ? ( MissingThreat = 0 ? "MAX":Green ! MissingThreat )]

[HasThreat ? ( IsUnit('player', Target) ? "MAX":Green ! MissingThreat )]

The first displays MAX when you have the highest threat on the target, regardless of who's tanking it. The 2nd displays MAX when you're tanking the target, even if someone has surpassed you in threat (within their 10% or 30% window). You can combine these two methods to something like this third option:

[HasThreat ? ( IsUnit('player', Target) ? (MissingThreat = 0 ? "MAX":Green ! MissingThreat:Yellow) ! (MissingThreat = 0 ? "MAX" ! MissingThreat):Red )]

This is exactly like the first option above, but colored red when you've lost aggro. A yellow number means someone has passed you in aggro, but not yet pulled aggro - so it's a warning sign to step up your threat on that mob.

That's one way, but a better looking way is often to put a text on the right edge of the frame, and set its style to "hide." That cuts off the too-long name at however many characters fit, rather than a fixed number of characters.

Thank you very very much. The 3rd option sounds incredible. I'm going to try that out.

If that works, I'm going to ban the Omen2 window from my screen, don't need it anymore (as a tank you're usually doing all you can anyhow, but for AoE Situations this will help a TON with switching fokus..) *g*

It basicly deletes the "..." e.g.

"Borona":Truncate(3) = Bor...
"Borona":Truncate(3, nil) = Bor

Alleyne · 05/28/08, 3:45 PM

I'm just wondering how ya can make

[Status or (if IsFriend then
MissingHP:Hide(0):Short:Color('ff7f7f')
else
FractionalHP(known=true):Short or PercentHP:Percent
end)]

and

[IsMana & [Status or (if IsFriend then
MissingMP:Hide(0):Short:Cyan
else
FractionalMP(known=true):Short or PercentMP:Percent
end)]]

To show what percent mana or health they are at after they actually lose mana or health

Thanks for any help

Dietrich · 05/28/08, 10:08 PM

I'm getting a syntax error on the crowd control tag. I simply cut and pasted it into a custom field for the target, and as soon as they get feared it errors out. Is anyone else having an issue?

Ah thanks for pointing out, didnt know that.

It broke in a recent DgTags update - theres a syntax change no doubt, so it will require rewriting. I haven't had time to look at it myself yet so I just removed it.

- Icons and sized them according to the time left on Hamstring (Thanks to Zerchi for pointing out the icon feature of Dogtag)

[[if IsEnemy then
    (if AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") >= 11 then
        Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Hamstring"):Round:Green:Paren

        Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Hamstring"):Round:Color("ffff00"):Paren
    elseif (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") < 6) and (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") >= 3) then
        Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Hamstring"):Round:Color("ff8800"):Paren
    elseif (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") < 3) and (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") > 0) then
        Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=30) AuraDuration("Hamstring"):Round:Red:Paren
    else
        "Hamstring":Red
    end)
end]]

To get the list of the icon to modify this code you'll have to go on this site: WoWWiki:Icons

Tried to modify this so it shows my remaining duration of SnD on my rogue, but I keep getting syntax errors. Any help would be much appreciated.

Show us what you've got so far.

Roberto · 05/29/08, 8:16 PM

So far I got this:

[(if HasAura("Slice and Dice, unit="player") and if AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") >= 11 then
    Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):Round:Green:Paren
elseif (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") < 11) and (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") >= 6) then
    Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):Round:Color("ffff00"):Paren
elseif (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") < 6) and (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") >= 3) then
    Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):Round:Color("ff8800"):Paren
elseif (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") < 3) and (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") > 0) then
    Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=30) AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):Round:Red:Paren
else
    "":Red
end)]

I am pretty sure that I have something wrong in the beggining of the dogtag, but can't figure out what exactly it is. Nevermind the shockwave icon, will change it once the tag is running.

Thanks in advance

There is no "and if", just use a simple "and" like in the rest of your tag

Also, you really don't need to color an empty string

Slumgon · 05/30/08, 7:35 AM

I'm trying to get a Threatdisplay vs the current tank, preferable also working greater than 100%.

[HasThreat ? PercentThreat:Percent] is capped at 100%, so I tired

[HasThreat ? [(Threat(unit="player") = MaxThreat(unit="player")) ? (Threat(unit="player") / Threat(unit="targettarget") * 100):Percent ! PercentThreat:Percent]]

If I'm the one with MaxThreat it uses my threat vs the enemies targets threat. I'm having problems though, I'm guessing they are caused by div. 0 when the target is stunned or something similar. Does anyone have a suggestion how I can otherwise take myselft out of the MaxThreat equasion? Then I could simply use Threat / MaxThreat.

Thanks in forward.

Agreed on the string

I changed it a little, but still have some issues with it (basically I am getting a syntax error and the tag isn't working at all).

[Outline][if HasAura("Slice and Dice, unit="player") and AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") >= 8 then
    AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):FormatDuration("e"):Green
elseif (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") < 8) and (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") >= 3) then
    AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):FormatDuration("e"):Color("ff8800")
elseif (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") < 3) and (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice", unit="player") > 0) then
    AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):FormatDuration("e"):Red
else
    ""
end]

Any help would be great, it doesnt seem that I can make it work on my own

EDIT:

Nevermind, finally found it.

[[if (unit = "player") then
    (if AuraDuration("Slice and Dice") >= 30 then
        AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):Round:Green:Paren
    elseif (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice") < 30) and (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice") >= 10) then
        AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):Round:Color("ffff00"):Paren
    elseif (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice") < 10) and (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice") >= 5) then
        AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):Round:Color("ff8800"):Paren
    elseif (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice") < 5) and (AuraDuration("Slice and Dice") > 0) then
        AuraDuration("Slice and Dice"):Round:Red:Paren
    else
        ""
    end)
end]]

I've been trying to make a DogTag that shows me that I have Mortal Strike, Aimed Shot or Wound Poison on me.
I've tried 2 different ones now but both without any result. They will show the "-50% Heal" however I can't get the duration working.

Anyone able to see what I'm doing wrong?

1:

[Outline][(if HasAura("Mortal Strike") then "-50% Heal":Red and AuraDuration("Mortal Strike"):FormatDuration("s"):Red
else if HasAura("Aimed Shot") then "-50% Heal":Red and AuraDuration("Aimed Shot"):FormatDuration("s"):Red
else if HasAura("Wound Poision") then "-50% Heal":Red and AuraDuration("Wound Poison"):FormatDuration("s"):Red
end)]

2:

[Outline][(if (HasAura("Mortal Strike") or HasAura("Aimed Shot") or HasAura("Wound Poison")) then
    "-50% Heal":Red and (AuraDuration("Wound Poison"):FormatDuration("s"):Red or AuraDuration("Mortal Strike"):FormatDuration("s"):Red or AuraDuration("Wound Poison"):FormatDuration("s"):Red)
end)]

That was a tough one. Try this:

[(HasAura("Aimed Shot") | HasAura("Mortal Strike") | HasAura("Wound Poison")) ? "%s %.1f %s":Format("-50% heal:", Max((AuraDuration("Aimed Shot") | 0), (AuraDuration("Mortal Strike") | 0), (AuraDuration("Wound Poison") | 0)), "s"):Red]

Imbar · 06/01/08, 2:05 AM

Anyone know how to do a tag that will show

Spell being cast (Target being cast on)

with the exception that "Failed" and instant cast spells will not show up, but "Interrupted" will?

No success

The message does get updated to "-50% Heal 0.0s" thou, but still doesn't show the actual duration.
I've tested it with both Mortal Strike and Wound Poison.

Are you using this tag to tell the duration of those debuffs on yourself, or on some other target? If the latter, then debuff duration information is only available for debuffs you've cast yourself (which, as a warlock, is none of those).

• Disiesel · 06/01/08, 12:29 PM

I use it to show it on myself. I'll try to test it a bit more, but I tried both in the DogTag window and on my unitframe.
Hmm it seems when I change it to Fel Armor it will pick up the duration, however every other buff given to me by someone else doesn't. I tried Divine Spirit, Blessing of Kings and Touch of Shadow

Gearknight · 06/01/08, 12:38 PM

It's possible then that the auraduration tag is only available for things you cast. I tested this tag by aimed shotting stuff, and also by changing it to my trinket buffs to see it on myself.

As an alternative, I can suggest that you use Elk Buff Bars, and set up a debuff bar for yourself with only those debuffs whitelisted. You can customize the appearance greatly, in fact probably hiding the bar and icon, only showing the name and duration, to match what the dogtag would have looked like.

Grital · 06/01/08, 1:08 PM

Someone had a good idea in the thread earlier, but it throws a syntax error and I didn't see anyone ever fix it. His initial code was

[if not PVP(unit="player") then
    if((HasAura("Alchemist's Stone",unit="player") & MissingMP >= 3080) then "Mana Pot!" end)
    if((not(HasAura("Alchemist's Stone",unit="player")) & MissingMP >= 2200) then "Mana Pot!" end)
end]

I can't get it to work either. Anyone have any ideas? It'd be nice to only use mana pots when I can get the full (potential) effect.

Also I can modify any finished code in this to work with Mana Tide to, put it on my group frames etc., that'd be nice.
