The DogTags 3.0 Thread - Page 26

epic · 06/01/10, 6:53 PM

Great contributions guys, these have vastly improved my gameplay, and of course help pretty-up my UI. However, I have 2 queries:

Is there any dog tag that could perhaps help me determine which auras are mine (Mid-raid and I realised the text-auras I was using to track my HoTs were showing another Druid's). I did try searching for some kind of 'ismine' tag, but to no avail.

Any addon that could display dogtags independent of the unitframe, as to scatter useless information about my screen.

I would love to learn the LUA counterpart, but whenever I begin, it just totally eludes me.

Regards.

Here's how I check to see if it's a buff that I cast (This was with Shadowed Unit Frames):

if UnitAura(unit, "Wild Growth") then
    local _,_,_,_,_,_,timeleft,caster = UnitAura(unit, "Wild Growth")
      if caster == "player" then
        local rem = - (GetTime() - timeleft)
        rem = string.format("%d",rem)
        wild = "|cffffff00[" .. rem .. "]|r"
      end
end

Basically, you just want to get the value of unitCaster from UnitAura and check to see whether or not it's "player" meaning yourself. This particular bit of code also gets the time remaining on the buff and sets a variable with that information and a color code to be spit out later on.

Here's more info on the UnitAura() function, and the rest of the example on how to use the code above.

You might check out either STUF or SUF if you're interested in divorcing the tags a bit aways from your frame.

Not sure how, or if, you can delete posts?

Okay so I've figured out a code that will track my diseases on the target, theres only one problem, when I'm in raids it doesn't show my diseases all the time, it sometimes shows someone elses.

Here is my code
[Outline] [if IsEnemy and InCombat(unit="player") then
(if AuraDuration("Frost Fever", unit="target") >= 8 then
AuraDuration("Frost Fever"):FormatDuration("e"):Color("9edbff")
elseif (AuraDuration("Frost Fever", unit="target") < 8) and (AuraDuration("Frost Fever", unit="target") >= 3) then
AuraDuration("Frost Fever"):FormatDuration("e"):Color("ffdbff")
elseif (AuraDuration("Frost Fever", unit="target") < 3) and (AuraDuration("Frost Fever", unit="target") > 0) then
AuraDuration("Frost Fever"):FormatDuration("e"):Red
else
"No FF":Red
end)
end]

Anyone knows how I get it to only track my diseases, it'd be highly appriciated.

I found a code for my first request, so I removed it.

I set up a DogTag to tell me when my shout was down, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to differentiate between specs, or stances with DogTag 3.0. I saw that there was another post about stances, but no replies, so I figured I'd give it another shot. Here is what I have. It works great as long as I use the same shout in both stances/specs. Is there a way to set it up for different shouts for each spec/stance?

[Outline] [if (Class(unit="player") = "Warrior") and ~HasAura("Battle Shout") and (MP > 9) then
    "SHOUT!  ":Yellow
end]

I have 2 lines of text on my bar and I need a dogtag that will allow me to hide the text while casting. Sorry if there is a better way to post the dogtags below or if this has been talked about somewhere else and I missed it.

I need to incorporate both of these lines to hide while player is casting and while target is casting, The 2 lines of text are:

[DifficultyColor]BIO

and

[ClassColor] Lv. [Level] - [SmartRace] [(~IsPlayerOrPet ? Classification:Contains("Rare") ? "Rare":Gray) (~IsPlayerOrPet ? Classification:Contains("Elite") ? "Elite":Yellow) (~IsPlayerOrPet ? Classification:Contains("Boss") ? "Boss":Red)] [IsPlayerOrPet ? Faction:Contains("Alliance") ? "A":HostileColor] [IsPlayerOrPet ? Faction:Contains("Horde") ? "H":HostileColor]

If anyone can help me, that would be aweswome. Thanks in advance.

An update to my own question:

[if CastStartDuration(unit="player") and 'Casting' then    ""else
    DifficultyColor "BIO"end]

and

[if CastStartDuration(unit="player") and 'Casting' then    ""else
    ClassColor "Lv. " Level "  - " SmartRace (~IsPlayerOrPet ? Classification:Contains("Rare") ? "Rare":Gray) (~IsPlayerOrPet ? Classification:Contains("Elite") ? "Elite":Yellow) (~IsPlayerOrPet ? Classification:Contains("Boss") ? "Boss":Red) (IsPlayerOrPet ? 
Faction:Contains("Alliance") ? " A":HostileColor) (IsPlayerOrPet ? Faction:Contains("Horde") ? " H":HostileColor)end]

I was looking through and couldn't find anything on this so:

Druid:
I need something like this for my power bar
Cat form says Cat
Bear form says Bear
all other forms show mana
