Can anyone help me?

Think you could do it with something like:

[Name:Replace("", "\n"):Substring(2, Length(Name) * 2)]

Try it out, see if it's what you're looking for.

Thanks Mini, worked with no problems.

Is there a way to get dogtags to differentiate between a debuff you applied to a mob and one someone else? i.e. My Crypt Fever vs. another DK's?

Probably need to do some lua editing. The API still returns a flag for if the de/buff is yours, but DogTags doesn't seem to have an option to filter for it. And of course the old standby of checking for duration no longer works, since you can see all durations now.

I can't seem to get the in game Dog Tag lines "help" window to function correctly -- all that shows up is the window w/o any search able categories, only the line test box. I've downloaded the latest version but still no luck.

Try updating all other addons using the Dogtag/Dogtag_Units libs, Parrot and Cowtip for example.

I am new to dogtags and I am trying to stumble my way thru, I am trying to make a tag for my party and raid frames that if there is a mage or priest etc.. in the group/raid and a buff is missing then it will show a text or Icon. I have seen the ones for adding a "." for when a buff is present, and tried to use that as a base and have failed.

I am also having this problem. I've updated all the addons that use Dog Tags (at least the ones obvious to me). Is this problem related to a specific version I can search my addon folder for?

motorboatin · 12/08/08, 12:39 PM

If anyone can point me in the right direction, this is what I have and I am not sure which of the two is close to being right. What I am attempting to show in my raid frames if there is a priest in the group and a player is missing pw fort or prayer of fort then the icon will show if they have the buff nothing will show.

[(if (RaidGroup(unit="Raidgroup") = "Priest") and HasAura("PowerWord:Fortitude") or HasAura("PrayerofFortitude")) ?" "
!Interface/Icons/Spell_Holy_PrayerofFortitude":Icon"

or

[(if (RaidGroup(unit="player") = "Priest") and HasAura("PowerWord:Fortitude") or HasAura("PrayerofFortitude")) ?" "
!Interface/Icons/Spell_Holy_PrayerofFortitude":Icon"

These are the dogtags i use for my pitbull frames, i've recently got into Pitbull after going with oUF for a few weeks. Need i say that my memory is horrible and i've forgotten everything about dogtags?

This is what i use to keep track of raid buffs, as a raid leader i need to see who's not prepared.

[Outline][(if HasAura("Arcane Intellect") or HasAura("Arcane Brilliance") then
    "I":Blue
end) (if HasAura("Power Word: Fortitude") or HasAura("Prayer of Fortitude") then
    "F":White
end) (if HasAura("Divine Spirit") or HasAura("Prayer of Spirit") then
    "Sp":Yellow
end) (if HasAura("Mark of the Wild") or HasAura("Gift of the Wild") then
    "W":Green
end) (if HasAura("Shadow Protection") or HasAura("Prayer of Shadow Protection") then
    "Sh":Black
end) (if HasAura("Blessing of Kings") or HasAura("Greater Blessing of Kings") then
    "K":Cyan
end) (if HasAura("Blessing of Salvation") or HasAura("Greater Blessing of Salvation") then
    "S":Red
end) (if HasAura("Blessing of Wisdom") or HasAura("Greater Blessing of Wisdom") then
    "Wi":Color("FF69B4")
end) (if HasAura("Fel Armor") or HasAura("Demon Skin") or HasAura("Demon Armor") then
    "A":Color("FF8000")
end) (if HasAura("Well Fed") then
    "Wf":Color("9400D3")
end)]

Going to add Blessing of Might as soon as i find out a good color to use for it.

Here is what i use on my priest while soloing

[Outline][(if HasAura("Power Word: Fortitude") or HasAura("Prayer of Fortitude") then
	".":White
end) (if HasAura("Power Word: Shield") then
	".":Yellow
end) (if HasAura("Shadowform") then
	".":Color("9400D3")
end) (if HasAura("Well Fed") then
	".":Cyan
end)]

My banish timer for extra awesomesauceness!

[outline] [(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") <= 2) then
    "BANISH NOW!":Red
end)
(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") > 5) and (AuraDuration("Banish") <= 3) then
    "Banish wears off in 3!":Color("FF4500")
end)
(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") > 6) and (AuraDuration("Banish") <= 4) then
    "Banish wears off in 4!":Color("FF8000")
end)
(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") > 7) and (AuraDuration("Banish") <= 5) then
    "Banish wears off in 5!":Yellow
end)
(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") > 8) and (AuraDuration("Banish") <= 6) then
    "Banish wears off in 6!":Color("B3EE3A")
end)
(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") > 9) and (AuraDuration("Banish") <= 7) then
    "Banish wears off in 7!":Color("00CD00")
end)
(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") > 10) and (AuraDuration("Banish") <= 8) then
    "Banish wears off in 8!":Color("006400")
end)
(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") > 11) and (AuraDuration("Banish") <= 9) then
    "Banish wears off in 9!":Color("7F7F7F")
end)
(if HasAura("Banish", unit="target") and (AuraDuration("Banish", unit="target") > 12) and (AuraDuration("Banish") <= 10) then
    "Banish wears off in 10!":Black
end)]

Most of these should be obvious what they do... If not just ask

While i'm here, anyone know the tag to get my targets name? I'd like to have my party targets as texts and not actual frames... This would be useful for my MT frames too.
What i've tried so far:

[outline] "-" [(if (unit == 'target') then Name end)]

[outline] "-" [Target]

[outline] "-" [Name:Target]

However, none of them worked.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Minimized · 12/09/08, 5:55 AM

Try this, it should work:

[outline] "-" [Name(unit="target")]

or maybe

[outline] "-" [Name(unit=target)]

The first one might take your own (player) target, that's why I put the 2nd one in aswell.

Thanks, will try right away

EDIT: Thanks, worked a charm! You dont happen to know how to make it only show if i have a target? tried PlayerHasTarget and HasTarget but to no avail...

EDIT2: Should have been a bit more clear, the "-" is showing up even if i dont have a target, any way to hide it?

EDIT3: Most important thingy, i wanted this for Party targets and raid targets - i should've been more clear with this.
Now it shows my target next to the raid frames instead of my raid members targets... Any idea on how to fix all this? :/

EDIT4: After some digging, i found this inside of oUF_Perfect by p3lim...

oUF.Tags['[raidtargetname]'] = function(u) return UnitName(u..'target') and '- '..UnitName(u..'target') or '' end

Any ideas on how to make this dogtag format? I've tried a few things but nothing worked very well...

Thanks in advance, again.

Minimized · 12/09/08, 7:41 AM

The second one seemed to work fine for me, so that would be:

[if name(unit=target) then "-" name(unit=target)]

edit: Btw, notice it's (unit=target), not (unit="target").

Thank you again Minimized, it's appreciated! I will try to get in a bg now and test it... I'll be back with the results.

EDIT: It works a wonder!
/e gives a cookie to Minimized

EDIT2: More problems, i've been trying this for a while too but to no avail (as usual

)

How can i combine these 2 dogtags so that it says <<YOU>> if the target is me?

[Outline][(if IsUnit('player', Target) then
    '<<':Cyan 'YOU':White '>>':Yellow
else
    Target:NameRealm or "none"
end)]

[Outline] [if Name(unit=Target) then
    "-" Name(unit=Target)
end]

Minimized · 12/09/08, 9:49 AM

[Outline] [if Name(unit=Target) then (if Name(unit=Target) = Name(unit="player") then "<<":Cyan "YOU":White ">>":Yellow else
    "-" Name(unit=Target) end)
end]

SHOULD work. Watch the ends, I tend to mess those up.

Thanks once again Minimized, may i ask if you know any tutorial for dogtags etc where i can see different tags? I tried the wowace wiki but it's been taken down.

Btw, the ends in your tag are correct, as there's only one 'if' in it

Daboran · 12/11/08, 6:55 AM

Seems the "Threat" dogtag has changed in the latest release (my tags in Cowtip broke as soon as I updated Pitbull) and the wowace wiki hasn't been updated - anyone know what the correct syntax is now?

No longer having an easy way to run with disembedded libs is turning out to be very annoying to be honest.

Had a question regarding this afk/dead code. How do I make it still show the unit's name? The way this code is right now if someone is afk it just shows "afk" where their name would be, likewise if they were dead. Thanks!

edit: just edited the code and deleted some brackets and added some, and got it the way i want it

motorboatin · 12/12/08, 9:01 AM

For the raid synergy dogtags is there a w ay to have it only show when it is a raid boss.

[if IsEnemy and ~Dead and ~IsPlayerOrPet then

Aximous · 12/12/08, 7:16 PM

[if Classification="Boss" then ...

Hi all, just having a few doubts while at work...

- Are DK presences considered Auras? So I can monitor them on my player frame.
- Still on DK, I was thinking in some kind of warning for DRW, with this I mean:

*** sample NON working code just for demonstration ***
if max runic power then
   if Horn of Winter true then
      if Blood Vengeance 3 stacks true then
         if Abomination's Might true then
            print " DRW Now!!! "
         fi
      fi
   fi
fi
*****

The ideia is to have a warning on player frame that DRW is ready to be used under optimal circunstances, I believe that this warning in conjunction with a macro to pop [trinkets -> hysteria -> DRW -> ghoul] can make some crazy damage.
Where I need some help:
- Blood Vengeance stacks, how can I monitor if I already have 3 stacks?
- DRW cooldown, I don't want the warning to appear when DRW is on cooldown.

Thanks for the help.

*** edit: I believe the proc names are not correct, so I used the respective talent names to make myself clear.

1: if HasAura("Blood Vengeance") and NumAura("Blood Vengeance") = 3 then blah end
2: No way to monitor cooldowns with DogTags.
0: I think Presences are auras, since they show up in your buff list (Stances don't). You can do an easy test using the help section in Pitbull's Text area , something like if HasAura("Blood Presence") then "Yay" else "Boo" end. You could aso toss that text on your player frame to test it.

omu · 12/18/08, 9:27 AM

Hey everyone. I have a problem with the HostileColor tag which I use for non-players in my Pitbull target frame - the code looks like this:

[Outline][(InCombat ? "Combat ":Red "| ":Color("6684E8")) Level:DifficultyColor (PvP ? " PvP":Green) (Classification:Contains("Boss") ? " " Classification:Red ! Classification:Contains("Elite") ? " " Classification:Yellow) " | ":Color("6684E8") (IsPlayer ? Name:ClassColor ! Name:HostileColor)]

Player names are correctly colored by class, and non-players are correctly colored when they are neutral or friendly. However, enemy names appear in a pale red color similar to the Death Knight class color, which can be a bit confusing at times. Pitbull gives you an option to change reaction colors in the configuration GUI, however changing the reaction color for enemies there does not change the color when I use the HostileColor tag.

Now, does anyone know if a) this is a bug in Pitbull and b) how I can modify my code to display enemy names in "proper" red?

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Never mind, I found what I was looking for is not pitbull but "StatBlockCore"
