Thank you!

To the best of my knowledge, you can't change the text size with DogTags.

Let me know. I'd be happy with Just a name color change, but the scaling just adds that extra pop I'm really looking for.

Thanks.

Are you using Pitbull? One thing you could do is make two dogtags. One larger and one smaller and have them along the lines of:

[if IsUnit("player") then Name:Red] for the large one

[if ~IsUnit("player") then Name:ClassColor] for the small one

Then put them in similar spots like Health bar left and Frame Inside Left. If you're using another addon you may be able to put a dogtag on top of another one (like DaHud -- I've done this a few times). You can get creative with the use of spaces and line returns within the dogtag itself to get the text pretty much in the same place in Pitbull. I bet future Pitbulls will allow more customization as far as where we can put text. I honestly use Pitbull and Dahud (with all the modules turned off aside from Text) to perfect my UI.

I play a warlock and have been trying to put together a dogtag that will show a red dot when the target is more than 36 yards away. This is my tag:

[if MaxRange > 36 then
".":Red
end]

For some reason, the red dot never appears.

Changing it to:

[if MaxRange < 36 then
".":Red
end]

Makes the red dot appear when the target is less than 30 yards away, and disappears when it's more then 30 yards away. Which is obviously wrong. I've been tinkering with it for a few hours and it's driving me nuts. Help!

I'm using LibRangeCheck-2.0.

Try [if (MinRange => 36) then ".":Red end]

Ah thanks, using MinRange worked perfectly. I should have realised MaxRange after 36 yards would not have a value.

Hey, im trying to make/find a dogtag that, when i used "incinerate" it will reduce "x" by one and when "x" are used it will simply reset.
is that possible?

I don't think so. But if you are trying to count the number of incinerates left in your rotation before refreshing Immolate, I think you could do it by dividing AuraTimeLeft(Immolate) with the cast time of your incinerate.

[Edit] I would try something like this (disclaimer: not tested at all, may need some tweaking:

[if AuraTimeLeft(Immolate) <= 1.5 then
	"Immolate":RED
else
	Floor((AuraTimeLeft(Immolate)-1.5)/2.25) :ORANGE
]

It needs to be adapted to the "real" cast time of your Incinerate/Immolates, depending of your spec and your haste rating.

Damn thats awesome

Ill try it out as soon as I got the time!
Thank you^^

Simple dogtag to pull data from Threatlib:GetTPS and throw it on your unitframe for people with Threat-2.0 and the pb player threat module. I found this handy because I spend about 90% of my time staring at my unit frames watching my HP while tanking.

in:
$Wowroot$\Interface\Addons\Pitbull\libs\LibDogTag-Unit-3.0\Categories\Threat.lua

Modifications:

After:

local function HasThreat_func(unit) return nil end

Insert:

local function TPS_func(unit) return nil end

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After:

	function HasThreat_func(unit)
		if UnitIsFriend("player", unit) then
			if UnitExists("target") then
				return ThreatLib:GetThreat(UnitGUID(unit), UnitGUID("target")) > 0
			else
				return false
			end
		else
			return ThreatLib:GetThreat(playerGuid, UnitGUID(unit)) > 0
		end
	end

Insert:

	function TPS_func(unit)
		if UnitIsFriend("player", unit) then
			if UnitExists("target") then
				return math.floor(ThreatLib:GetTPS(UnitGUID(unit), UnitGUID("target")) + 0.5)
			else
				return 0
			end
		else
			return math.floor(ThreatLib:GetTPS(playerGuid, UnitGUID(unit)) + 0.5)
		end
	end

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After:

DogTag:AddTag("Unit", "HasThreat", {
	code = function(args)
		return HasThreat_func
	end,
	dynamicCode = true,
	arg = {
		'unit', 'string;undef', 'player'
	},
	ret = "boolean",
	events = "Threat#$unit",
	doc = L["Return True if you have threat against enemy unit or friendly unit has threat against your target and if ThreatLib is available"],
	example = ('[HasThreat] => %q; [HasThreat] => ""'):format(L["True"]),
	category = L["Threat"]
})

Insert:

DogTag:AddTag("Unit", "TPS", {
	code = function(args)
		return TPS_func
	end,
	dynamicCode = true,
	arg = {
		'unit', 'string;undef', 'player'
	},
	ret = "nil;number",
	events = "Threat#$unit",
	doc = L["Threat Per Second"],
	example = '[TPS] => "950"',
	category = L["Threat"]
})

OR:

Threat.lua

TAG:

TPS:  [Outline] [(if TPS = 0 then
    nil
elseif TPS > 1500 then
    TPS:Color("FF3300")
elseif TPS > 1000 then
    TPS:Color("3366FF")
elseif TPS < 1000 then
    TPS:Green
end)]

colors threat by
green: >1000tps
blue: <1000tps
orange: <1500tps

I was having a go at a dogtag for Underhood. I wanted it to show my target's name but when casting switch to the target's cast name and cast duration. Only I'm not sure exactly where to start.

Something like [(CastName CastEndDuration:FormatDuration) or Name]

So I modified it a bit.

[(castname " " castendduration:formatduration) or [(if IsPlayer then
    ClassColor
else
    HostileColor
end) NameRealm]]

And it works great...until I cast. I get the cast name and duration but when the cast is complete it doesn't return back to showing the target's name.

Sojik · 08/25/08, 1:58 AM

Sounds like an Underhood problem.
